Hernando Beach - Saltwater Fishing Report

Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report

Hernando Beach

3 Nov 2008

Like all previous reports I will explain to the fishing community; Grouper fishing is very good here in the Hernando Beach area. We are catching GAG Groupers, Red Groupers, Grunts, Mangrove Snapper, and Spanish Mackerel. The water temperature is a perfect 73 degrees, perfect for bigger Grouper. Dead Threadfin Herring are still the best bait even though other baits will work. The water clarity is improving so live bait will begin to work more often than not. Preferred method is dead bait, 4 foot long leaders, and please match the circle hook size in proportion to the size bait you are using.

Sea ya on the water,

Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast:

Hernando Beach Fishing Forecast: More King fish will be in the area after the next cold front passes. Larger Gag Grouper will be pushed down also as the water temperature continues to drop. Fish slower and chum a little to get the Grouper bite going.
