5/21 – Weekly Fish Report Presented By Half Hitch Tackle

Salt Water
MEXICO BEACH/PORT ST JOE OFFSHORE
Grouper fishing picked up this week with respectable fish brought to the docks. The bite is over natural bottom starting at about 180’. Large live baits accounted for most of the larger fish. The king mackerel catches are increasing on the buoy line. Dusters and cigar minnows Yozuri Hydro-Mags and stretch 30’s are accounting for these catches.
