Yes. However, most of ones I've seen are pretty large and caught during the night. They aren't as hardy as groupers out of water, if you want to release them, please do so in a minute or two in day time.

I did not know they change gender, it's good to know. Thanks.

It depends very much on your preferred style of fishing. Artificial lures such as rubbers and plugs work well while for natural baits, you can go with live bait fish or prawns.
