Targeting Grouper on Florida Wrecks

Florida wrecks hold gag, black, and red grouper across a range of depths from 40 to more than 300 feet, and each species requires a different approach. This breakdown covers where each one holds on the structure, which live baits and rigs consistently produce, how to read current, and what Florida regulations require before you make the run.

Fishing Greater Amberjack on Wrecks and Reefs

Greater amberjack are pure structure fish. They stack on wrecks, reefs, and ledges from 80 to 240 feet of water and stay there until something makes them move. Understanding where they hold, what triggers a bite, and how to keep them out of the structure once hooked is what separates a productive amberjack trip from an expensive spool of lost braid.
