  2. INTRODUCTION King Fish colloquially known as Smokers are one of the most common catches in Key Wests. These fish are quite large often weighing in the 100 pound range and are known to be incredibly strong able to burn 100 yards of line in seconds. Key West is proudly the home to some of the biggest catches on IGFS records. We have won the S.K.A tournament on several occasions and have held the record for the three largest Kingfish ever caught in the tournament at one time. VISIT NOW! www.keywestcharterfishing.net

  3. WHEN TO CATCH KINGFISH Winter is considered the ideal time for Kingfish fishing in Key West with most tournaments being held in January. The fish can be caught all year round but increase in numbers starting around April. When the season actually starts can vary depending on a couple of factors like when the first cold front is and how low the water drops in order to attract the schools of fish.

  4. WHERE TO CATCH KINGFISH Experienced deep sea fishing captains say that Kingfish are located deep in the water as well as near the surface and live in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In Key West they are typically caught near the coast in 30-100 feet of water on the Gulf side and 30-250 feet in the Atlantic.

  5. HOW TO CATCH KINGFISH • There are a few things that you can use to increase your chances of catching a Kingfish. Live bait has been a proven way to get them on your line by using a slow trolling blue runner, as they mainly use in the Mackeral tournaments and is often how winning fish are caught. • You’ll want to have a 12-14 inch wire between the monofilament leader, with a 7/0 hook on the head and a #4 treble stinger at the tail on your hook. To know more, explore Looney Tunes Fishing.

  6. EQUIPMENT TO CATCH KINGFISH Although slow trolling live baits is a proven means of taking these giants, chumming with live pilchards (a small bait fish) and casting with artificial lures and flies provides some of the most visual and exciting fishing to be found during the winter months. These Kings will skyrocket the baits and lures, sometimes reaching heights of 15 feet into the air, only to re­-enter the water and run 200 or more yards.

  7. MORE ABOUT THE KINGFISH • The Scomberomorus cavalla also called the Kingfish and the king mackerel is a fish often found in the Atlantic ocean and the gulf of Mexico.
