Fishing for King Mackerel


 

 

Coming soon is information on catching king mackerel........

Kings are an incidental catch for boaters along much of the Virginia and Maryland coast. I have caught them in as far as bouy N2. I have caught most of them between 12 and 30 miles out. I like to look for an abrupt change in the bottom and pull a #3 1/2 drone spoon on a #2 planer. The leader should be #50 line if possible and 30 feet long with a swivel at mid-point. I pull the planer rig in place of a flat line at about 6 knots. I also like a red and white seawitch/ballyhoo rig way back on a rigger line for kings. When I troll fast for bluefin, I put out natural cedar plugs on a flatline as these often get us a king as well.
