Yes it is possible, they are there. I don't really think you could specifically target them, they are usually a bycatch of grouper or mutton fishing. I'd say a fresh dead gog, butterflied grunt or ballyhoo at night, or a big lively threadfin or pinfish pinned to the bottom during the day would be your best shot.

I've never caught a big one, maybe 15". But I have seen pictures of big ones (15-20 lbs) come from Channel 2 and Long Key.

I have seen then up to 12 lbs on live pinfish and have personally caught them to 7 lbs on live shrimp snook fishing. Deeper channels around the full moon in summer is the time for them.
