Strange California Tactics for Florida Gag Groupers NEVER BEFORE SEEN
I've fished all over the world now, but have yet to target GAG groupers. Riley, Johnny and I flew in to Florida to link up with our friend Ryan Hanks of @CastFishingCo and Captain Tyler Kapela out of Tampa Bay, Florida. Follow him or reach out to him on Instagram

Typically anglers fish these with cut bait, dropped vertically on reefs and wrecks. Tyler however has figured out a great artificial option fishing 4oz @BKKHooksInternational Harpax Jigheads paired with 8" Prodigy Swimbaits.
I brought with me the NEW @defiantfishing5700 2oz Underspin Jigheads as well as some 6" Prodigy in the @BigBassDreams Collaborative color Ghost Baitfish as well. This turned out to be key in getting bites when they stopped responding to the 4oz heads and 8" swimbaits. Showing those fish something they haven't seen before resulting in 5 or 6 gag groupers for me in a row after 3 fish were caught on the 4oz and 8" combo.
