Grouper Fishing Setups and Essential Gear

[@MetalRush666]

I had no idea Thonny worked there. That's awesome. Thx for the education and the time once again Cap Joe 🤙🤙

[@HeadFirstFishing]

Hey no problem, they're very helpful over there.

The first combo with the talica 16 looked more like a trolling setup for pelagics. Even had roller guides and it looked like it had a slick butt.

Cool. I'm in ohio but grew up in SC neat the coast. I just bought a bunch of used rods and reels... this guy had several penn 750ss reels that were never used and I got a 6'6" penn slammer rod super stout.. I'll save this combo and eventually go grouper and shark fishing with it... I got the 750s for 40 bucks a piece and they are unused lol. 30 for the rod... never used as well... what a deal... o and these penn reels were made in usa baby!

Rocks and grouper gold.

I had to listen to that second guy twice, when he was talking about the bait you could use. I missed the "bait" part, so I thought he was talk about what you could catch with that rod. He said "mullet, ladyfish". It was like, ?🤨 dude catches mullet with that thing? 🧐 oh he's talking about bait. 😅"

[@HeadFirstFishing]

Hahaha

[@alejandro3485]

Definitely do not want a bottom fishing rod with roller guides. In the gulf where we are there’s really no reason to use a rod with roller guides even when trolling.

[@HeadFirstFishing]

I know what you mean but there are areas of the gulf where it does make sense to have multi purpose rods. The north central gulf for example has many trolling opportunities.

[@camboflo727]

Whats wrong with the roller guides? Im new to conventionals

[@FT86TT]

​@@camboflo727More maintenance due to rust

[@camboflo727]

@@FT86TT thanks!

[@KyoyaTategamiLEO]

Wait Thonny works there or he owns the place??

[@HeadFirstFishing]

He owns it. 😆

[@justinmalone8640]

Why do they like to use mono over braid. I’ve had so much more success with braid with flouro carbon out of port canaveral

[@HeadFirstFishing]

Braid is good for line capacity and strength but it's not necessary or ideal for bottom fishing.
