Anybody got a king yet?

Haven’t seen any reports in the offshore section yet. Just wondering if anyone has caught any recently around the 60 or even closer to the beach? I’m going out this Friday to give it a try.

I’ll be out Friday afternoon trolling the shipping lane. Trying to get out Saturday also but the wife is trying to get me to remodel our bathroom :angry:

good luck scoobie, let us weekend warriors know what you find!

Let us know how the bathroom turns out.

Worked on it all last night and doing the same tonight. Gotta get out there on Saturday!

Saturday looks like the day. If you get out post some killer pic’s

A wise man once said “Do as I say not as I do” Good advice when I tell you that.

spanish were off folly. gonna try monday and tuesday prob. have to work the weekend (as usual)

Got a few hours in after work, no sign of any Mackerel though. Played with some sharks before heading back in at 8:00. Trying it again in the morning.

If any of yall need another person on the boat let me know or want to go out on my boat let me know. I have a century 20’ cc ready to roll and all my gear is about ready to be put in the water. I have a good bit of experence king fishing inshore and offshore but just not anybody thats wants to fish as much as i do. let me know. jason 425-1460.

we fished hard saturday. NO kings, no spanish. Lots of cigar minnows under the outer bouys in the afternoon. Lots of boats out there too. I guess its still a little too early.

Went out to the 60 in the am and hit the bouys in the afternoon.

Picked up 3 spanish on Saturday morning. All hit spoons on a planer. Didn’t see any surface activity all day.

Saw a few studs skying this weekend in 110-115 ft of water while heading to the ledge.

mrmullen, we must’ve seen you at some point- were on the 60 all morning. smallest boat out there- a scout.

trolled for with ballyhoo and spoons, downrigger, planers and flatlines… no surface action, no knockdowns. heard there were spanish in the channel but didn’t see them on the troll home.

scoobie n dirtyo, thanks for the reports- glad someone is finding/seeing a couple of them!

how deep were you running the planer?

However deep a Sea Striker #1 goes…about 10ft I would imagine.

In my own defense, I didn’t wear my lucky Mackerel shirt on Saturday. Its so old and nasty the Kings can smell me from a good 2-3miles away and can’t resist it. If only I could bottle and sell that scent! :smiley:

i always hear of people catching spanish and king in the shipping channel, but never get any pics or solid posts. Anyone actually caught a king inside the shipping chanel this year, or is that timeframe a little early yet in the season?
