What type of grouper are you after? Gag, red grouper, and Goliath grouper (jewfish) are common from about 30 ft and deeper. Bigger is deeper for the most part in the Gulf of Mexico, however. A Carolina rig with a pinfish or a sand perch is a standard for these tasty girls (They all start out as females and later some change sex to males if there is a shortage). We get a pile on jigs such as Kalin twin tails (6") with a 6 or 8 oz leadhead. Many people also find grouper on reefs by trolling a red and white Mann's stretch 30 at less than 6 knots. Hope this helps. The weather has been keeping me out of the Gulf the past week so I am getting anxious now grouper is open again.
