Southern NC Groupers - The Hull Truth

Hail Storm · 12-22-2004, 10:34 PM

Hi all,

I am new to saltwater fishing and would like to know how the grouper fishing is off the southern NC coast line. I am familliar with a few places such as the shark hole or the jungle for king fishing but not sure if these hold grouper. What are some of the things you look for to find grouper?

Thanks,
Rodney

Welcome to The Hull Truth sir.

Give a shot around the 13 fathom rocks and out around the "horse shoe" areas.
You can find the areas on any NC offshore chart.

If interested in "specific" #'s, drop me an email: bigpigdave@msn.com

Thanks for the info Dave,

I thought most of the groupers would be in the deeper waters. I punched in a few of the numbers and they were only a few miles offshore. Thinking about going down on Wednesaday this week and try some near shore bottom fishing around the Holden Beach area.

Thanks for the welcome Hot Spot.

Looks like our trucks are identical with the exception mine is a 2000 longbed. I have enjoyed reading your post on Jordan Lake striper fishing. We spend quite a bit of time up there camping. Never fished much there though. I just purchased my Wellcraft CC240 this summer. We have tried a little striper fishing up there but have not had much luck. Would like to learn more about it since it is so close to home.

Thanks,
Rodney

Not a problem Hail Storm

You'll definately want "deeper" #'s... but during the winter you dont have to go too far out for grouper, sea bass, etc....

Look for natural bottom, breaks, rocks, coral and you'll find Grup'ah's!!! Just remember big bait, big fish

You may benefit from reading the fishing reports from the Ocean Isle Fishing Center. There's some great*info about Groupers*in*the Sept/Oct reports.
