I like to troll for king, lazy man's fishing. Put couple of rods out, idle along looking for bottom fishing spots, listen to "trop-rock". On the radio. Wife sits in the chair reading and every now and then we get a fish. Also fun to drift for them around structure. Tie a wire leader directly to a big spinning rig, with a single hook and a treble stinger. Hook a cigar minnow thru the nose and treble in the tail. Throw it out and drift along. When they hit it, its like they came by on a motorcycle. Usually bigger fish also.

Charlie, our federal snapper season this year was THREE days.
