I have two buddies that have landed 3 this year over here in Pensacola/Navarre from their kayaks. I personally had one with my bait in its mouth but couldn't get the hook in it. Also had the friend of a friend land one from his kayak in gulf shores yesterday.

What tackle would be needed to get a sail pierside? When one is spotted, do people reach for their king rods? I've never really put much thought into this since it seems fairly rare.

I hear they're pretty good smoked. Don't know the size limit. I wouldn't keep one anyhow, just take some photos.

If they are in the shadow of the pier..they are "caught" - cut them loose, let them live. Give thanks for the opportunity.
My 2 pence.Good times, Good friends, Great Beer. You can buy all three - But it's always better to invest the time to make your own.

King rod is plenty to stop a sail. If you didnt notice the guy in the video is using a 706 greenie. Garbage bags are built for speed not power Originally Posted by PierPluggin
