Hello neighbor. Kings are still around and biting good. You need to get out past the cold inshore water to find a good concentration. Fished Ft. Meyers yesterday, beach was 66 degrees in 45' it came up to 74 degrees. The big girls don't mind 66 degree water temp as long as bait is in good supply. It's typical of this time of year for the fish to be farther offshore. 1 week ago we fished a few of the local reefs without much success. Only bait out there was white grunt and ballyhoo. Pushed out to the 50' mark on a natural ledge and bingo, released 4 fish in 30 minutes biggest was a 56" 30lb smoker that blew up on a small runner. Sometimes you need to just cover ground to find them. If not there are big spanish just offshore real thick. Good luck out there.
