The Technique to Catching Kingfish with Live Bait​



In this video we go offshore fishing with live bait and have a great day of catching Kingfish. We also go over the technique to catching Kingfish with live bait. Because we are using live bait we use light line and small hooks so that the bait can swim more naturally. Since we have small hooks we have to use light drags. Rather than powering in the fish like you could do for bottom fish or when you fish with bigger hooks for Mahi and Wahoo you have to guide the fish to the boat. Let the fish run and tire himself out and then steer the fish back to you when he is tired.
