i'll be honest with you, it's not as fun, but i've caught more kings that way then snobling, and artificials put together

Not me, far more on dead baits, or artificials,


Il fish em live sometimes, but Never under a cork

If your eyesight is not to good to see a line, a float helps you keep up with a live bait., AND if your old and/or your joints hurt and arms get stiff, a float reduces the number of painful cast you have to make. most actions have a reason.

The main reason i use corks is to keep my bait in the top four feet of the water column where kings tend to feed. Plus you get to visually see the fish feed about 90% of the time and i personally love seeing the vapor trail a cork leaves in the water when a king takes off.

I use a cork 90% of the time, easier to keep track of baits when its crowded.

Get some sabiki rigs and get a ribbon rig from J&M. Use a medium weight rod & drop them down around the pier to catch LY's and sardines.
You'll need a 7-8' medium heavy spinning rig with a bumch of 12-17# test mono, a short wire leader and a #2 or @4 treble. Set your drag light and hang on.

I kill all mine snobbling or with the plug :banana:

What is snobbling?

Snobbling is the presentation of a dead bait by making it appear alive (in the act of dying actually) with the use of a quick retrieve and perhaps rod jerk technique.
When properly imparted, this action triggers a reaction strike by king mackerel and other marauding palegic fish that percieve the bait as an easy meal.

:headbang: :yippee:
