PLAN YOUR TIME ON THE WATER

The Gulf’s heavyweight stories.

Grouper live on deep structure such as rocks, ledges and wrecks. DTB’s catches run from smaller spotted fish to heavyweight black grouper, including Jacob Peterson’s 109.50-lb fish from June 2026, now No. 1 in the Louisiana record book.

Catches depend on season, conditions and current regulations. A photograph records a past catch, not a promise for your trip.

Good fit

Who this trip suits

Anglers weighing grouper with snapper, cobia, or mixed offshore days.
Visitors who want timing, depth, and expectations explained before booking.

Planning

Planning notes

Match target and water. Grouper hold on rocks, ledges and wrecks, and the deeper the structure, the longer the run.

Set expectations. Ask what kind of offshore day gives the group the best shot at grouper.

Call about grouper. The calendar shows open dates; call if grouper is the main target.

Before you go

What to bring and confirm

Confirm depth, timing, and target expectations before choosing a date.
Bring full-day offshore comfort basics.
Ask whether the day should target grouper or combine bottom-fishing options.
