White grunt a good table fish.

A lot of people think of grunts as an inferior fish and use them for bait or through them back. The truth about these fish are that they are actually a very good table fish. Grunts live in the same habitat as grouper and have a similar taste. They are a good eating fish. In order to catch one large enough to eat you would have to go to some deeper water rock areas. Like I said these fish are found in the same habitat as grouper. When they are young you can catch them in estuaries and mangrove areas. Most people refer to them as croakers when they are young and use them as a bait fish. They do get full size though. However their mouth stays surprisingly small so you will need a smaller hook. Use cut shrimp or clams or sand fleas. They love shrimp though so you will have your best chance with shrimp. Good luck and happy fishing.
