PinfishKing,
Watch the weather closely, they just updated Saturday to 15 kts out of the East, 3 to 5 seas

I think this summer cold front is going to make it quite bumpy for going offshore.
As far as the bite, the gag grouper are still around but they just don't seem to be as hungry as the red's. Of course watch your bag limit of red grouper in federal waters, I've talked to 2 different people who have been approached by FWC in federal waters this past week.
Good Luck,
Fish Finder
