Winter Time Research

Date: February 25, 2025

Today myself and Mike Accattato, who’s family owns Terrazzo Trattoria in Wilmington, had a weather window to get offshore and try out the new trolling motor as well as take a look at some deepwater grouper spots I like to fish in the spring. All groupers were catch and release (grouper season opens May 1) but they are definitely there and hungry! we had multiple scamps and a lot of big gags. One of with was in the upper 40 pounds class. Hoping this spring will be a good one!
