Species on the Hit List

Lane Snapper: These tasty little guys are a blast to hunt. They hang out near coral reefs and rocky bottoms, usually in schools. Keep an eye out for their distinctive pink-red color with yellow stripes. Lane Snapper are quick, so you'll need to be on your toes. They're most active during the early morning and late afternoon, making our trip timing perfect. Folks love targeting these because they're a good challenge for beginners and pros alike, plus they make for some killer ceviche!

Black Grouper: Now we're talking about a real trophy fish. These big boys can grow up to 4 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds. They're smart and strong, so landing one is a real accomplishment. Black Grouper like to hang out near ledges and caves in the reef, so we'll be checking all their favorite haunts. They're ambush predators, so stealth is key. The meat on these guys is top-notch, flaky and mild – perfect for grilling. Spring and early summer are prime time for Black Grouper, but we see them year-round in Andros.

Black Grouper

Lane Snappers are the candy canes of our reefs - pink-red with yellow stripes running end to end. Most grow to about 14 inches, though we occasionally see 20-inchers. They're not huge, but they're feisty and fun to catch. You'll find Lane Snappers around coral reefs and sandy areas with lots of vegetation. They like depths between 70 and 230 feet, but the bigger ones tend to hang in shallower water. These guys are bottom feeders, munching on crabs, shrimp, and smaller fish. The best time to target Lane Snappers is during their spawning season, March through September. That's when they're most active and group up in big numbers. They're aggressive little fish, so they're not too wary of hooks. But once they're on, expect a good scrap for their size. For bait, try live shrimp, squid, or cut bait. Here's a local tip: fish at night when they're feeding most actively. Lane Snappers make for some tasty eating too - sweet, flaky meat that's great grilled or fried.

Lane Snapper

Black Groupers are the tanks of our local reefs. These big boys can grow over 4 feet long, though most we see are around 2-3 feet. They love hanging out near wrecks, ledges, and reefs in depths from 30 to 300 feet. Look for them in shallower water during winter and deeper in summer. These ambush predators aren't built for speed, but man, can they pull! When you hook one, be ready for a serious fight. They've got powerful jaws and will try to dive back into the rocks. That's why we use heavy gear - at least 20 pounds of drag and 80-pound braid. Black Groupers will eat just about anything, live or dead. The key is getting your bait right to the bottom where they're lurking. When you feel a bite, start reeling immediately. Don't give them a chance to wrap you around the structure. Grouper meat is delicious - mild and firm. It's a local favorite for good reason. Just watch out for sharks trying to steal your catch on the way up!
