ct, they'll be allright barring children and prego's for a couple of meals.
Was wondering if near Miami based on the pics.
Thought the mangroves would dictate the gulf side but ain't been there but a couple of times.
 
Excellent pics and reports Naterj. The only problem I see with your whole post is....we need to get you outfitted in a V20 tee-shirt.

CTBONE - Kings aren't bad, especially that size. If I could catch kings all day long I'd rather have the snakes than those big smokers.

last year we caught a couple over 30 pounds and they were kinda funky. like you said i bet the smaller ones are better.
 
Yeah, we live bait for the big boyz and pull small spoons and lures for the snakes. I know what you mean by "funky." :beer:
 
We usually smoke them and have heard there nasty fried but when you cut the red line out and fry them up there pretty good. Oh yea last weekend to we saw a nice bull and cow running the weed line came up looked at our squid we threw at them and then they were back off running the weeds.
 
Fried some small ones up last year and my wife, who hates "fishy" stuff, loved it. Kids did too.

Small ones - good
Big ones - ok to nasty
 
What did you catch those kings on?

Those mahi should hit the same lure or bait. Keep on chasing them, you'll eventually trick one (or two).

I don't know the process....never smoked a fish in my life. Couldn't find the right size papers I guess.:head:

No really, never smoked a fish period. I want to though. Somebody needs to add the recipe. :beer:
