To what extent do long-term risks associated with climate change, specifically sea level rise,Ĭontribute to repopulation or relocation decisions of people displaced by disasters in coastalĬommunities? This research focuses on this question, which has received littleĪttention in disaster literature. Indigenous Sovereignty and Emergency Response.Mary Fran Myers Gender and Disaster Award.Two trademarks of a good kingfish fly are large dome eyes and solid epoxy heads which aid in getting the fly to sink quickly. The flies need some flash, but less is better than more. The most productive colors are pink and white, chartreuse and white, and all white. I prefer to tie my own kingfish flies and use Super Hair tied on Eagle Claw 254 SS 3/0 hooks. Intermediate lines, although great for surf casting, do not sink fast enough with a drifting boat to keep your fly in the target zone of 50-80 feet.īig flies I’ve found that kingfish prefer flies from 6- to 8-inches long. This will help keep your fly in the strike zone. I also recommend full, fast sinking fly line matched to the weight of the fly rod. I have a back up in case a rod breaks and if the size of the fish schools change, I’m ready. Their power and speed are unbelievable – thus they’re called “smoker kings.” Typically, I carry two rods, a 9- and a 10-weight which serves two needs. Kings can literally make your reel smoke. “ I highly recommend using a 9- up to 12-weight fly rods and it is an absolute must that you own a high quality fly reel that has a smooth, strong drag. Here’s what he had to say about flies, rods and reels when king-mack fishing. He’s also an avid fly angler with a nice 28-foot console and loves to go after kings. They were tied and photographed by Grant Gisondo, a boating contributor to this publication.
Mix ingredients well and serve cold via your chum bag.ĭesigned and tied specifically for kings, the flies shown above have turned out to have universal game fish attractor appeal for offshore big boys game fish. In your chum bucket put dry dog food and mix in about a cup or more of menhaden oil. Here’s trick a New Jersey captain told us about. However, beach-side and further off shore, no matter the tide, there should be current – find it. If you’re at an inlet and it’s slack tide nothing is going to happen. You’ll need current to be effective with chum. Again, if macks are around – they’ll find you. Some captains like to make large circle routes at inlets, letting the fragrance do its work. Once you’ve started a slick, slow your boat down or still fish with a current running away from the transom. Even doubting Thomas’ mangrove and gray snappers will come off the bottom and feed as will yellowtails.Īll species of macks (Spanish, king and cero), blues, stripers and even cobia go a little bit catnip-stupid when a slick of chum or baits are presented. When the fish are “up” you can throw some bigger chunks of bait or live baits to get them really fired up. Don’t forget, the idea is to let them “wet their beaks,” not feed them. The preferable way to do that is to buy and mount a 12 volt chum grinder – that way you’ll be a real MacDonald’s for game fish. A dolphin pod will stay put for a long time when a bro is hooked and kept in the water.Ĭutting up bait into little strips is labor intensive, dirty business and boring. Also, bring along a stout spinning rod as well as a few hook-less plugs for bait and switch or to catch a dolphin with plugs or lures that have hooks. The better tackle shops and marinas that dock a lot of fishing boats usually have live baits, frozen chum bags and even menhaden fish oil. As far as live baits go, catch your own with a Sabiki set-up or throw a cast net, but if you don’t how, buy some live baits. Also, bring a light spinning outfit along with some squid pieces. When it starts to stink, you’re good to go. When fly fishing offshore, bring a frozen bag of chum. Grant’s self-tied 6- and 8-inch general baitfish flies – Grant Gisando photo
