Using what exchanges I've had with the OP here on CSC, I was using deductive reasoning to make an assumption that he wasn't planning to fish that far offshore on his boat, at least not this year. And he seems into it for the fun and enjoyment of fishing with his boys, and using deductive reasoning again, I assumed he wasn't planning to take them 65 miles offshore in a 20' SeaCraft with only a single Evinrude FICHT. Thus offering any specific locations in that depth of water off of St. Marks would not be helpful to him. Main point was, IMO, focus on nearshore grouper fishing when the water is cool in the fall and winter.

Now here I go on the side tangent...
Boy we were glad that Mako of dad's had two engines. Unfortunately, they were 225 FICHTs. Approximately 1 out of every 3 trips we made, one of the FICHTs broke down in some way, shape, or form. 4-5 years of that, plus 1 fire, then one explosion and big fire, the FICHTs finally got replaced with Etecs. Lucky to have had the 2nd because with the big fire the wind blew flames right into the cockpit. Would've been disastrous without the 2nd motor to turn it around into the wind. One year dad's boat broke down the weekend before the Big Bend Saltwater Classic...of course. With the chit luck of those two FICHTs, the marina owner loaned up his 28 Mako to fish the tournament in. Trailered to Apalach with intentions to fish more to the SW. You guessed it, day 1 on Friday, one of those FICHTs broke down. Made it back into Apalach around 2 AM Saturday morning on one engine. Loaded it up and headed on back to St. Marks.

I`m gonna put ficht stickers on my twins. Nobody will think of stealing them. Ever.

The engineers told Soros not to release the ficht bombs. The rest is history in more ways than one. The old ocean pros just keep on runnin`.
