Bottom
Fishing
The continental
shelf tapers slowly on Florida's East Coast and this means lots
of area and structure to bottom fish. Though local knowledge is
a plus, many wrecks, both accidental and man-made are published
on fishing charts thus making them fishable to anyone with a loran
or GPS. Year round, bottom fishing can be good for grouper, snapper,
cobia, and many other tasty species. It is possible to catch gag,
red, warsaw, snowy, kittymitchel, and black groupers. The snappers
consist of red, mangrove, mutton, lane, and the occasional yellowtail.
Amberjack, african pompano, and cobia will also be hanging on local
structures looking for an easy meal. The incredible variety and
the mystery of what each drop may hold make bottom fishing one of
the local favorites.
