Ish,

It has been a long, long, time since I read that article, but it seems they were farther off the coast. There was some mention of a severe drop off out there, that was very deep, and allowed the groupers, or Jewfish, to grow to tremendous size. That method of catching them was, probably, what put them on the no catch list.

I have a vague recollection from about thirty years ago of fishing for Jewfish in the Keys. My ex and I used to visit there every winter. I remember an old guy who spent all of his time fishing for Jewfish from the shore. I think it was at a park on the east side of the Bahia Honda bridge. Every once in a while he would catch one and people would gather to watch the event, which, as I recall, could take a day. He would use his car to haul it in. I'd forgotten all about that until I saw your post. I wish I could remember better what kind of rig he used.
