Thread: This Weekend!

Going to the Gulf this weekend. Anybody want to help out a newbie to king fishing from the pier? It would be greatly appreciated! I have fished the pier many times but never for the kings at the end. Wanting to give it a try and learn how to do it the right way!

You will find plenty of people to help you out most everyone is willing to help. Just watch for a while and ask questions on anything you don't understand.

Me and little brother will be down Friday & Saturday, look for a pier cart with Hossfly on it. We are new also but will share anything that we have learned. :fishing:

the locals are great as long as you are willing to listen and learn. they sure made this tennessee boy and my family feel welcome.

I will be there and i will be glad to get you started. I will be wearing overalls and an Auburn hat. I know a little and will be glad to show you the little that i know.

Guys I am glad I found this site. Never seen so many people willing to help a new guy out. I appreciate it. I will be sending some pm's this weekend when we get down there.

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]Drummond, you picked a good weekend to get some help and meet a few forum members. This weekend is the first anniversary of our little forum and we have suggested that those who make it out to the pier on Saturday bring something to share for share such as chicken, pizza, cake, pie, etc… for lunch on the Octi, but not mandatory. Hope to see at the pier.

Fin I would love to meet you there but we are driving Saturday. I might can get in the later afternoon and I will be sure to bring something if I can make it!

I am going to Bass Pro tonight to pick a couple of things up. Getting 7-6 mh spinning combo, probably #17 line?, 7 strand wire leader, and 4/0 circles? Anything I need to add?

From what I understand basically my freshwater gear will work for flounder, reds, and trout. Just new to the Mackerel side of things.

if your new to mackerel fishing might want to start with a treble...

but if you do use a circle.. DO NOT SET THE HOOK...
