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.
