Has anyone had any luck fishing for kings, jacks, or reds in the bay lately??

Yup. :thumbsup:

Can you slow troll with dusters and cigs just like offshore or is the live bait method work better in the bay?

Live Bait

It is my experience that live bait is the key to catching kings in the bay. Just about any small fish captured in the bay is a good bait. The best that I have found is menhaden, although white trout, mullet, croakers and pinfish work well. I would not attempt to troll in the bay. To me, that is a waste of time and gas. Find a good spot where there is either bait or a slow decline in depth. Around buoys, piers and bridges tend to be a hot spot. Good Luck.

Just spoke to my dad and he is out between the bridges on I-10 and just hooked up to a tarpon, ended up spooling him. We are going to be trying for the kings tomorrow morning just floating some LYs west of the 3 mile.

Very nice. thanks for the feed back. Might try that out this weekend. I did hear of some tarpon being caught as well. Never battled one of those yet, but would like to!! Ill try the live bait out and see what we can do.

3 mile bridge, live pinfish or menhaden. Kings and big spanish everywhere
