Grouper out of Cameron?
 

I've Benny fishing out of Cameron for quite a while now and I have no problem catching red snapper, mangroves, ling and when the rips are good 3 tail and dolphin. And i havent been able to catch any grouper not even small ones. I am wondering if any one fishes for them in the Cameron area? And if so how far out/how deep? And what kind of structure are y'all fishing, rigs or wrecks?I have a 27 contender and am capable of making some long runs. Just wanting to have more variety when snapper season is closed. Any info would be appreciated

we go but don't catch them good until we get into about 450 feet. you can catch them in shallower water but its a pain fighting the aj's and red snapper

I figured that's why I wasn't catching them I was in 150 feet of water Friday loaded with AJ and snapper
What kind of structure are u fishing on

Rigs are good for grouper. As well as rocks and submerged structure. As noodle said usually have to be pretty deep. I have caught lots of grouper on candy mountain.

Hope you did not keep the AJ

rigs, rocks, and big humps

Did not keep the AJs, and thanks for the info where are yall launching out of to go to candy mtn Grand Chenier or Cameron if I remember corectly candy mtn is like 90 miles from Cameron. I've heard a lot about it but have never been I've always just went straight south of Cameron.

We launch at freshwater city. It's roughly 80 miles out of there.

yeah unfortunately for us deep water is so dang far out of Cameron. Gotta go deep.

Thanks for all the replies I think next trip I'm gonna shoot for Candy Mtn or somewhere comparable I'll be looking at some deep water structures in the future

Not sure what your range is but once you get to candy the picket fence ain't real far from there.

I've been looking at the picket fence I have pleanty of fuel to make it there I'll be making some trips out there later this summer.

It gets real out there. There is some good wahoo and aj rigs between candy and picket also.

Thanks a lot hope to get out there soon.

The elusive picket fence!
