Grouper Fishing Setups and Essential Gear

Grouper fishing requires special gear that can handle powerful fish that dig hard and try to cut you off in structure. I had to stop by St Pete Fishing Outfitters to see what they would recommend this year for a high quality gag grouper fishing setup to winch up big gags in Tampa Bay.

Cool. I'm in ohio but grew up in SC neat the coast. I just bought a bunch of used rods and reels... this guy had several penn 750ss reels that were never used and I got a 6'6" penn slammer rod super stout.. I'll save this combo and eventually go grouper and shark fishing with it... I got the 750s for 40 bucks a piece and they are unused lol. 30 for the rod... never used as well... what a deal... o and these penn reels were made in usa baby!

The first combo with the talica 16 looked more like a trolling setup for pelagics. Even had roller guides and it looked like it had a slick butt.

Wow, zane and thonny just happened to have what you were looking for in their hands. Great customer service!! Haaaa
Good recomendations tho👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Talica 16 holds over 800 yards of 50lb braid.

I had to listen to that second guy twice, when he was talking about the bait you could use. I missed the "bait" part, so I thought he was talk about what you could catch with that rod. He said "mullet, ladyfish". It was like, ?🤨 dude catches mullet with that thing? 🧐 oh he's talking about bait. 😅"

Wait Thonny works there or he owns the place??

Definitely do not want a bottom fishing rod with roller guides. In the gulf where we are there’s really no reason to use a rod with roller guides even when trolling.

[justinmalone]

Why do they like to use mono over braid. I’ve had so much more success with braid with flouro carbon out of port canaveral

I must laugh at drag numbers. Unless youre planning on using the rail of the boat try picking up a bucket with 10# of water in it. It takes a beef stick to get lift . My 9 ft bridge rod for snook is 60-120 rated. Getting anything over 20 up and over the rail is work.
