Southern Kingfish-Whiting Ya All
Took the 16' boat to Cape Canaveral. We are strictly fishing inside in The Banana and Indian Rivers. Both of these are salt water and are Intracoastal. After a 30 min ride with no wake because of the Manatees we reached our destination on a large canal linking the two rivers together. Small jig head tipped with shrimp and it was game on. First bluefish then a few spotted sea trout. Then the ''Whiting'' took over. They call them whiting but we call them kingfish. Same thing we catch in the surf in the surf in New Jersey. Great eating and on an ultra light with six pound test we had a blast. We landed and released near 100, we didn't count. Blowfish also and all you want. The blues are small one to two pounds but fight like hell on the light rods. The launch ramps are free and beautiful. Floating docks and rest rooms as well as picinic tables. Florida does it right! Ten bucks in bait and a whopping two gallons of fuel! Champagne taste and a beer pocket book lol. Fluke are next at Sebastian Inlet. Limit is ten at 12''. I have landed some nice ones there up to four pounds and have seen them up to 8 lbs.
