kingfish rigs
 

Hi,

can anyone recommend a rigs for catching kingfish [King Makerel] from
jetties/beaches and rock marks from shore.

TIA

I like a #2 treble with about 12 inches of 30 pound wire, black swivel and a
float just large enough to keep live bait within 3 feet of the surface.

I'm sure others may have a better rig but this works for me.

Hi,


Sounds good to me. That's about the same I use. Just lose the float
and add a few more inches of leader. I caught 5 kings today that way.
I kept 2 and released the rest.

A lot of flying fish started to show up today. 1st I've seen so far
this year. Can the Dolphin be that far behind?

Ok that sound ok, kinda like pike rigs, Do you guys use a single treble or
two trebles per trace?

Just a single for me.

Just a single, small treble for me. Sometimes a single circle hook
works fine too.
