Rocky outcrops dot most of the shoreline of many a coastal area and more likely than not, house table-sized groupers which are more than willing to pounce on any lure that scuttles along its path.
The trick is to really 'bump' the lure around the grouper 'holes'. Grouper are pretty lazy fish and would rather sit and ambush prey that swims along its way. Therefore, working the lure around the different depths of the rocky shoreline is a good way to cover ground. Sinking lures such as Storm soft plastics or deep diving lures like Fat Raps work pretty well. Occasionally you do get snagged every now and then, so don't leave the lure retriever at home. But don't be deterred and do keep the faith in working those lures. You'll be duly rewarded!
Oh, and a tip is to experiment the tides. Some places may fire on the rising tide and some may be happening on the run-off tide. Good luck!
Keep an eye out for such outcrops. They are home to some nice lure-snatching fish
