They won't move during the midday sun, but will get pretty active during the sunrise and sunset "magic hour". With the water temps being near 80 degrees, they will start to show signs of distress (ie. red coloration) if played or handled too long. Quick fights, quick handling without being shaked n' baked, and a proper release is super important this time of year. But yes, they will bite.
