But I think its just old fishermans tales.
We all know a smoker king could easily jump a little ole dam and keep right on going.
IMO, it was the netters in the rivers that drove the freshwater migratory kings extinct...
When I saw the thread title, and knew the fishing lately, my first thought was that this was about the POTUS :)
Maybe he's asking if kings are coming closer to shore (north, from their previous positon)? That's my guess.
Either way, this thread went south...
I'm pretty sure it's still legal to net mackerel in the Black Warrior River, but I think the Red Snapper season there runs the same as the Federal season in the Gulf. It is, however, illegal to take speckled trout with any handheld explosive device or to take, or attempt to take redfish with any caliber smaller than .225.Quote:

Several have went north the last couple days,in coolers...
In all seriousness, I used to have dealings with a man who insisted that his father used to catch "fresh water blue marlins" in Lake Michigan (but they had all been caught). After stating this to a table full of coworkers he had earned a name, "Blue Marlin."Quote:

But fer sure the clouds and relatively cooler temperatures have cooled the water temp off 4-5 degrees inshore.
And wah-lah a few kings showed up yesterday...
