Kingfish on Artificial Lure in Jacksonville Florida

In this video, bait was hard to get so we started off pulling artificial lures at around 4 mph. It didn't take us long to catch Kingfish this way. The advantage to starting the day trolling artificial lures is that you can troll faster than you could with live bait. You could also trolled dead rigged bait, like cigar minnows or ballyhoo.
Later in the morning Capt. Chris and Wyatt from Hott Pursuit Charters gave us some extra live pogeys they caught which we also caught Kingfish on.

Hooks:
I typically use a #6 treble hook when fishing with pogeys (menhaden) or ribbonfish.
If I am using Blue Runners or Goggle Eyes in a tournament I might go up to a #4 hook though. amzn.to/2MLoj2K amzn.to/2G5gHYn
Most reels I use are TLD 20's. These are great all around reels though for Kingfish a reel with a faster retrieve is more ideal, like a torque, fathom, or speed master. amzn.to/2ltpYk5

[@trophyadventures6258]

Always good to get tips! Thanks , be safe and keep making video!

[@ReelHazardous]

Thanks, glad it was helpful!

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

Always leave the Clicker on that tells the captain where the fish is going. Dave is a small fish. Nice kings guys. Have a great one.

[@ReelHazardous]

Thanks Jose! Yeah on the boat it is very helpful. I can see how some don't like that noise on the video but it's definitely useful in the water.

[@hfmx3200]

Great video thank you for the tips I like using plastic lures when we troll when bait is hard to find like you guys do

[@ReelHazardous]

Thanks! Any particular lures you like?

[@hfmx3200]

@@ReelHazardous yes yozori and nomad lures I normally use yozori because nomad are expensive

[@rsbuigues9084]

Great video, thanks. What No. wire did you use on the plug?

[@ReelHazardous]

We had 60lb 7 strand wire on the plug.

[@brenteason9891]

Awesome when people will share bait. Doesn't happen that much where I fish in NC.

[@ReelHazardous]

A lot of guys are good about sharing bait here but the problem is there were some day's this year no one could find any. It was a rough year for bait lol

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

If are those were so big right on the moon phase the month where you went and The Time and Tide. They will be there again next year.

Gaff in head

Enjoyed the video thx. Start freezing kingfish bellies to make strips for trolling like you would do with Bonita. Use little mylar skirts in front. I’m sure you know all this...

[@ReelHazardous]

Thanks for the tip. I've done this with Bonita but not with kings but I'll give it a try!

Please turn your clicker off reeling in fish, you’ll end up burning out your clicker.
