what is the best kind of bait? im going to destin in a few weeks and i realy would like to know.

[YeahRight825]

Just about anything live and big... lol... if you can get some jack crevalles for bait, that would be really good... and keep in mind, the jack crevalles are good fighters in themselves, so you'd have fun catching them as well... lol.

wat is the best kind of bait?

[Eznoautographs]

Bassman and Glaze, I've been to that exact spot a couple of times. When I was out there, if we caught some ladyfish, we just hooked em up to the shark pole n tossed it back in. Unfortunately I haven't hooked n e thing that big as of yet. The one grouper I caught out there was only a 15 lb'er. That spot (and the oil drum right near it) seems to be a grouper bed. I've come across a few vids on utube of ppl pulling groupers up in that exact spot.

Nice fish. I hope you released it.

[YeahRight825]

Danny - yeah he definitely released it. In florida, since they are SO protected by law, if you don't release a Goliath Grouper (formerly known as Jewfish) you practically will go to jail lol. So yeah, especially with professional captain's like in this video, they KNOW what the deal is. PLUS, the professionals like this WANT to release them (even if there wasn't any strict laws in place) because those fish are VERY territorial, and you can go back and catch the same grouper over and over again.

Cool...thanks for the information!
