Detailed explanation-1: -Groupers, like many reef fish, spawn offshore on shelf and shelf-edge reefs. Their pelagic larvae remain in the open ocean for 40-60 days before reaching inshore nursery grounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -These large fish are associated with hard structures like reefs (both natural and artificial), rocks, and ledges. They are late-maturing, long-lived, top-level predators found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Caribbean and western North Atlantic.
Detailed explanation-3: -Grouper Techniques Grouper can be caught on lures, live bait, and dead bait. My favorite way to catch them if they are shallow is casting jerkbaits in shallow reef areas but a large livebait sent down to the bottom and then lifted a crank or two is probably the most effective way to catch them day in and day out.
