 Spanish and Kings
Howdy All,
As silly as it sounds, I have been researching on line on how to fish for Kings and Spanish from a boat. Don't laugh too hard, this boating thing is rather new to me. All my fishing experience is from on land, and a little bit from a canoe. It was always easier to just use the canoe for transportation to get to hard to reach places.
Side note: The only time I ever fished for Spanish was in Florida and that was from a pier. My bait was something new for me too. I used a plastic bubble that you filled with some water that had about 2 feet of 100lb test line with a treble hook and a McDonalds straw. I looked at that concept, and thought someone was taking me for a gag, like snipe hunting or something, but my family that lives down there vouched for it. It actually worked. I am also guessing from what I saw on the pier, the fishing in that part of florida made McDonalds milkshake sales rise too. Unfortunately I didn't have as much luck as a couple of others on the pier but it validated the concept for me. I think I might have posted more on that subject last Sept.
Here's my barrage of questions on Kings and Spanish:
When do the spanish and kings come into the area? Can you catch them inshore closer to the inlets, or do you have to be off shore? Anyone have any suggestions other than a McDonald's straw for lures and bait? I assume that I could either troll around or just anchor and cast depending where I am, any tips on tactics and techniques?
I know, very novice questions, but figure what the heck why not post. Appreciate any feed back yall might have.  |
