Got caught in the rain at 7am while getting bait near the bridge. Nothing like being pelted in the face by rain drops.  Found loads of threadfin, blue runners, sand perch, lizardfish, and sardines by the channel buoy. Went to a rocky bottom less than 20 miles out for some bottom dropping. Put down the homemade chum pot off the downrigger and the screen started to LIGHT UP. Floated out a live blue runner and got a 18LB King. On the bottom caught 1 14" Red Snapper, triggers, sharks, and lots of undersize AJs. Winds picked up and seas were capping. Back on the hill at 3.

| Do you leave the chum on the bottom or do you reel it up higher in the water column as you are there for a while? I have been wanting to get a downrigger for trolling, and you gave me another reason to get off of my wallet.

amanda- how is the king bite over your way? is it hard to find large kings? We hook up with them each trip (..not the smaller "snake" ones though - which is good - lol -). A friend of ours fishes along the beaches pretty regularly too and he's done really well, snakes on up to 40LB.
