Kings are in

[CooKnFish]

... but yet they are out. They have been catching them 3 to 5 miles out and with the picture perfect day we had today, I wouldn't doubt if they pushed out even further.
It wasn't a complete bust.

There was lots of these.


Some of those.


And when they wouldn't hit anything else, a Terroreyz bounced across the bottom got the job done.


But this is proly the shot of the day.


Thanks Jeff! Next time let's go out when the wind is blowing so we'll have a shot at some real fish.

That looks like a hefty bonito. Just trying something new with the terroreyes? How did you know they were there if they weren't busting bait? Fishfinder?

[pag_yaker]

Yup - the double hook-up is nice.

[CooKnFish]

We found a bait pod that was going off but we couldn't see any preditor fish. They wouldn't come up to hit topwater or anything just below the surface so that told us that they were staying deep. I had a Terroreyz already tied on so I gave it a toss and hooked up.

Not out there today. Very quite.

We are one good cold front away.

[SlikNik]

Reports coming in and they are out there now, as well as Tarpon still lingering.
Right on cue, water temps 77, light winds

[Todd]

73 degrees is the magic number. Should be here soon enough.

Got my biggin last year with 79 degree temp. 6, 20-30 and 40lb kings caught.
Spoke to people who know some people who saw some people who photographed people.

Just sayin
OK they are not here yet ...Stay off the beaches

I caught my largest kingfish ever, 48 lbs, snapper fishing by the Gandy bridge. You never know when or where. They are here year round, not saying anything other than 73 is the number when the usually show up in greater numbers.

[sfurman]

I always heard it was 74

Nice fish cook and a nice day out on the water too. Wish I was there.

Vlap, Are the scotty rod holders on you Native mounted to the boat, or are they on a crate? Would you mind posting a picture of the setup?
