The water is cooling off and the stone crab traps are being set right now. This combination of events will entice Groupers to move around from area to area. Schools of Gag Grouper are not an uncommon event but a part of their normal life. When you catch one Gag Grouper nine out of ten times you can bet there is another one swimming down there. With this in mind it is easy to locate Gags around large rock areas and reefs. With each approaching cold front there are a couple days of strong windy conditions. These events seem to bunch Groupers up were they can seek refuge from turbulent waters. So naturally when boating conditions improve anglers can go to their favorite rock pile and find it replenished with hungry Groupers. It may not be as easy as explained but it is true.
