Haha I only have Saturday off
That forecast can, and likely will change between now and Sat.
I'm planning on fishing Sat too.... We'll see.
Aight thanks hope to see u there
See, it already changed... Higher winds & seas.
The moon's going to still be full on the 4th and the full moon, late March/early April usually has the sheepshead courting and feeding around the pilings. It'll be more difficult to see them and a guy will probably need extra weight to keep the bait in place with the higher winds, but it could still turn out very well! I've experimented before with using a small egg sinker above my swivel when king fishing in robust winds. It keeps the bait down under the surface instead of skiing at the top and the kings seem to pay no attention at all to the sliding egg sinker.
That wind picks up any more....
You can just fly the Cig like a kite and see if a King skies on it.
Gonna be a tough call for me.
Gas, bait, ice, pier and misc.
Oh wow I never fished for kings but I was gonna get some cigs from j and m any idea on a egg sinker weight in the rough seas and swivel size?
And how do u rig cigs just on a circle hook treble hook or one of those rigs with two or three treble hooks I have a makin leader and a 4x 4# treble and some gotchas and x raps and a few looney jigs
