Charter Boat Gulf Grouper Fishing Report

Location: Hernando Beach Florida, near Orlando, Disney, and Tampa

Year round Grouper fishing is always good somewhere off-shore from Hernando Beach. So when the Kingfish show up like they have lately it is a welcome treat. Fishing for Kingfish requires different techniques to ensure a productive outing on the water. Most anglers prefer chumming while using live scaled Sardines, Threadfin Herring, Blue Runners, and Shad. Live bait is an outstanding method to catch Kingfish and is very effective. Other methods are productive and enable an angler to go fishing without spending hours pursuing live bait. Lures like 3.5 spoons, inline jigs, stick baits trolled with a planner work well and can be used with little preparation first thing in the morning. Usually the most active big Kingfish bite is night and early morning hours. There are a multitude of methods that work well for Kingfish so come out to Hernando Beach and get your Kingfish with your Grouper.

Sea ya on the water,
