When do the Kings start running I can't remember from last year. was too busy trying to get moved into my house and all to remember when it started?

We need that magical 70 degree mark for the surface temp. A few will show up just prior to that, but for the most part Kings like it to be about 72 degrees and warmer.

Usually in April, but like said above the water temp controls all. You will catch them further offshore before along the beach or in close. Started catching them last year in mid April about 10mi out and they slowly moved in with the temp and baitfish.

As fast as the water is warming, I would not be surprised to see them the end of March.Nearshore by early April.
