When the water heats up during this time of the year do the grouper and snapper normally move to deeper water? If so, what depth should you be looking for these fish now?
Thanks,

Yes, either deeper water or water with more current. There should be fish in the 40-100 foot range. Just depends on the structure and water movement. If you can find a spring head, they will closer.

We found some nice ones in 60' yesterday. A buddy caught a couple ( may have been barely legal or just short) cobia fishing on a reef in less than 30 feet yesterday also. Good luck
