Local Species Insights: White Grunt
White grunts are a staple of Florida reef fishing, providing consistent action and excellent eating qualities. These fish typically inhabit structure and reef areas around West Palm Beach, preferring rocky bottoms and artificial reefs in depths ranging from 20 to 100 feet. When targeting white grunt, light tackle with small hooks baited with cut squid, shrimp, or small pieces of fish works well. While not the largest gamefish in Florida waters, white grunts make up for their modest size with their abundance and willingness to bite. They're particularly active during morning and evening hours, making them an excellent target for half-day charters.
