I see a few pics of Kings being caught at the North Pier but can't trust the time line. Seems their FB page has pics from many moons ago.

not sure what page youre lookin at on facebook
but i just checked both North Skyway Fishing Piers,
and Skyway Fishing Piers and I see no
recent pictures or reports of Kings, nor
do I even see any old pics or reports
other than Pattys big King pic
on the pages profile pics.
I can tell you this though, theyre so
thick out by the Shipping Chanel ect
theyve almost become a nuisance and the
same for offshore, and the pipeline.
Its only a matter of time before
the water gets right and the invasion will
be in.
Good time of year for the Jumbos
to start scouting through in thier
neverending search for food.
My logs have 6 years out of the last
15 with Kings in the bay in mid October
with October the 8th the earliest.
Only 1 way to find out.
And in your case with the Kayak just
cus they aint hit the piers yet, dont
mean they aint on the beaches.
gitrdone!

Probably drone further out and rapala closer. When battery gets low, figure drift a little with balloon and live bait. And maybe cast the drone to see what I can bring in. Will bring a bag full of Mac remains. I’m not at the chum using level, yet, but I figure Mac guts may bring something in. |

get you one of them black and yeller
bait buckets and castnet some whitebait
let a few loose ever now and then.
its so funny to watch...
they haul ass at first but when they realize
the boats the only cover available
they swim back up and hide under
the boat.
Not a better fish call on the market.
fish guts will bring sharks.
menhaden oil on a slow drip I V bottle
is magic too. 😉

Anywhere I would have a chance at a King in a canoe with a motor? I'd love to catch one but don't want to drown in the attempt.

Most likely but I wasn’t paying attention. I figured the photos will tell me. But can’t tell from photos.

It's closed- and there's only been about a million Kingers caught there... should be able to gold hook some threadfins right there by the pier. easy peasy 🤔 |

never caught alot of snapper there but big sheeps black drum and flounder I've never tried going down to the old Redington Pier, but it is close to my house. Are you still able to park in the lot that was designated for the old pier? |

"Never thought a shark would chase down a spoon."
I've seen sharks hit gotchas, jigs, hard baits, bubble/straw rigs. So yeah, they will hit a spoon!

Be careful around the pier. It is so rickety. It is due to be demolished. It took a hard hit with that strong cold front last December. |
