- Catching MY LIMIT - Fishing for KINGFISH on the Sand Flea Surf Beach. Why they call them northern kingfish I do not know. But they are delicious so I kept my limit today. Five is my limit, you can keep as many as you want. I did actually want more but had some other fishing to do and a few mishaps limited my time on the water. They are indeed fun to catch. The northern king fish hit like a freight train and fight like a premature baby. Weird but it is so. They are willing biters and will hit just about any bait to throw at them. Squid may be best but I like clam and you can even use sand fleas, worms or even chicken. I like to rig up hi-low with #2 sharp sharp hooks but a #4 may be better. Kingfish about hook themselves they hit so hard. I like to use the minimum amount of weight to hold bottom. Sometimes a slow sweep is desirable. Any outfit that will cast 1-4oz into the surf will do.
Northern kingfish on the beach are RELATING to sand fleas which HOLD on STRUCTURE formed on the surf. In other words the beach is the structure for sand fleas and the sand fleas are structure to the kingfish. I would not be surprised to find weakfish under the same set up. On an interesting note I also like to start the day with big over sized baits and hooks when I am looking for smaller fish. If I am looking for larger game fish such as striped bass I will start smaller. Just what I like to do. They are fun to catch, delicious and also make great bait maybe that’s why they are kingfish? Thanks as always for watching and hope you enjoyed the video as much as we did making it.

Fantastic job Jerry! I need to get some soon, been a while since I fished them. They're such feisty fighters, never know where they're zipping to.
Zipping is right on target! Pound for pound cant think of a fish that has a more violent strike! Thanks as always Tony!

Thanks Spiro, Yea the rising water most often means time to go! Somedays your lucky just to have a window!!!!

Thank you Boarrows! Much appreciate again! Fish Your Way! - Jerry
They look like the fish we call whiting on the pier down in Florida they also taste great and are also great bait. I will use a whole one and put cuts on the side of the fish with a big circle hook.
Very cool! I have used a few for bait this year too when running short believe I had a ray that night
lol haha the surf conditions looked mint as XD awesome catches lol
It was a perfect day like the Caribbean! Thanks Basic_Fishing!

Great video!! Thanx so much for all your videos!
Thanks so much for your awesome comments Mark! May the fish be with you!!!! I will be rooting for ya! Let me know how you do!!! Anything you are always welcome to msg me ok
Nice. I caught them in the Sound a few years ago by me off the Kayak. Never tried to eat one yet. It's related to the drum/croaker family.
Cool stuff and thanks Leslie, If you have the time try a few they are quite good fish. Small and larger ones!
Couple of decent size kings. Nice video.
Thanks bcast! It was a decent year for them I should have fished em more but you know how fishing goes!
here in NC we call them mullets. They hit like a truck and are the best tasting fish in the ocean. They love the sand flea up in the wash. You will catch your bigger one's in that area. They wait for the sand flea to wash out and eat them. The Red Drum love the sand flea's too.
Oh yeahhhhhh!!!
Hehe thanks Feeling Fishing!
That's a great day fishing right there! Let me know when they fish fry is!
Hehe sure will do okie!
OK Jerry~~You gunna make Um Swim on last time for me? IN THE OIL!!! Do I smell a fish Fry!!!
I think they already swam :( Did some big sharking got burnt pretty good some 7 footers were out! Jumbo flounder landed though!
yummy!
Wish I knew the best way to cook em, hmmmm Do I hear a catch and cook from your channel Tim? :)
in my opinion the best tasting fish in the ocean
DEEEEELICIOUS!!!! Thanks Pro!!!
Hay Jerry what rod and reel are you using in the video thanks 🐟
Hi Jeffrey! This is the abu 5500c3 had this one when I was 17 years old still works great all original parts!
your king fish looks a lot like texas gulf coast golden croaker.....are they the same?
Hi David I am not sure but they are a type of croaker I believe!
Hey, good afternoon. Just wanted to say thank you for your videos
Great stuff. Also, would you mind if I asked you some questions about fishing. Especially fluke fishing. If not, no problem
If you are willing, is these some other way we could communicate. Again, thanks for the videos
I use a k mart 302 baitcaster prob from the 60s and an old ambassador. Old eagle Claw surf rod and another. I'm eager to start using them surf fishing and wanted to pick your brain. I really like your styles
Thanks Charles much appreciate the kind words. Sure thing ask anything. If you can one or two related questions a time would be great just easier to answer. Ask all you like but it is easier for me to do one at a time. I have found if I get 6 questions on different topics all at once it is hard for me to get specific and I wind up giving a confusing long drawn out answer that may leave more question then answer (kinda like this reply :) . But anything anything just ask and will get back my soonest! Like the sound of your gear you have!
They havent shown up by me yet. Sometimes it takes them a little longer to get into the bay than up front.
Maybe will be a spot year too here too? I have not seen this early in a bit here and they usually are in the bay too? I let a few go the other day and told em "GO and tell all your friends to get on the Staten Island ferry, its only a quarter and makes a fun day" At least the last time I was on it lol
Ferry has been free for a long time now ;) Last season we had 2 days when we got some spot. That was the first time in 3 years they showed up so hopefully this year its back to normal and they are everywhere. Fluke fishing is just now starting to pick up over here. And by pick up I mean from horrible to mediocre.
Hehe I did not know that way cool! Been years! It picked up here a little bit it was zero for a while. I have not been on the book much at all Billy I will have to check your blog out. I am rarely on it. Tell Dave I said hi and to drop a line anytime ok! Great hearing from you!
Did you know that sea robin is better tasting than flounder and kingfish ? It sells for $20/lb in some places
Yea they are quite delicious just wanted kingfish that day thanks for sharing they are indeed a fish to try for the table!
Hey, where were you fishing? What area on the coast?
Hi Gary this is long island NY thanks for watching and Fish Your Way!
What reel you using. Left hand retreat?
Good question that is a abu ambassadeur 6501c it is a left hand retrieve reel, I like the left hands better on retrieve thanks for watching and commenting Danny
I haven't caught kings in a while...
They are werid like the spot, and triggerfish around here some years they show in great numbers other years nothing!
FishJonesBeach usually catch them in Florida with squid and use them for sharks. I caught a nice Gar on a whiting chunk once. In LI I have done well with gulp minnows.
Used em the other night 50-60lb ray! They are great bait!
Can you please reduce the volume of you background music? I can't hear a single thing you say!
Thanks for the input and suggestion will certainly take into consideration for future video kindest regards Jerry
please call them mole crabs, sand flees are those biting insects, thnak you for video
Oh yea sand fleas are great
what do i think,??? nice video but please call mole crabs by there correct name, sand flees are insects that bite you at the beach.
You do stand correct most folks call em mole crabs but I am stuck on sand fleas been calling them that me whole life and cant change now but I do advice you call the mole crabs loved your comment!
