 |
|
My boy caught this at the jetties. Everywhere I've looked tells me it's a grouper, but a grouper at the jetties? and if so what kind? We weren't even close to being near the end of the jetties and he was free-lining shrimp throwing towards the rocks.

I can't find my fish ID book right now, but it looks like a grouper. I caught a couple of juvenile gag grouper in the Port A ferry channel in 2002, so I know they hang out around there. Were you referring to the Port A jetties?

That may be a Gag Grouper. Apparently Texas does not have a limit on grouper, except for the Goliath Grouper.

Indeed it is a grouper. Possible juvenile gag...They like to hang around structure like jetties and platforms.

We catch these guys fairly often at Pt. Mansfield in the East Cut and along the Jetties. First time I caught one the guy at the bait shop said it was a Grouper and that's what we have always called them. Great eating fish.

That fish is legal. It was caught in state waters. We usually catch 1 every other trip in POC at the jetties there. |
