We are just about to Celebrate Memorial Day,I hope everyone will remember our U.S.Military for this is what keeps us free.This is also the time of year the king mackerel show up along the beaches of the North Carolina coast,these fish are moving closer to the beach with the rising water temperatures making them accessible for the small boater.These fish offer great action on light tackle,the initial strike is a long hard run,making it a favorite game fish for many anglers.Live menhaden is the preferred bait,presentation slow trolled at a speed of 1 to 2 knots. or as slow as your boat will go.Remember the lighter your terminal tackle,the more strikes you will get,light line,light drag,let the fish run,and enjoy the action when he tires,increase the drag,just a little to bring him to the boat.
Later,Capt.Mike Dennis
