Black Grouper is a sought-after catch aboard Chipper’s Clipper. These impressive fish, also known as Black Rockfish or Marbled Rockfish, can grow up to 5 feet long and weigh up to 180 lbs, though most are caught between 5-20 lbs. Known for its mild yet distinct flavor, Black Grouper offers a taste that lies between bass and halibut, with a firm texture and large flakes that retain moisture well. For the best results, we recommend a 6+ hour trip, with many successful catches occurring on 10-12 hour trips in deep waters. Our expert guide, Captain Chip Day, will help you enjoy a memorable and productive fishing experience!
