Similar plans where I plan to fish. Livies a hardbody and surface popper working to hopefully bring them up.

Given the amount of bandwagon knobheads I've seen it doesn't surprise me one bit locations are being kept.

I'm eyeing off braving the slop on Tuesday if the weather report holds true. Also means a lot won't go outside once the chop starts breaking

We are only just really getting into fishing... done the snapper fishing but now thinking to try for some Kings in the Rip when they are about. Never been that south in the bay yet but a lot of people have said the heads are quite dangerous. Is this just as true for the RIP area?

On another note, I know Matt Cini and his charters start the kingfish runs on the 7th in the bay... so you would have to think they are around!
