Congrat's Blue Runner,

King's should be pretty thick out there right now.
I'd say a 45 in. King would be in the 23-27 lb range, so that'd be about right.

Would love to have ya ride with us if y'all want, cause I got the green light for a go out of Wrightsville this comin saturday,,, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll send ya my home ph, so if you want to set up a time to meet us and all we can do it.

We're definately goin for grouper and mahi for sure, if it's a great day weather wise, we'll jump out to the ledge past the Fryin Pan shoals out towards the Steeples area for yella fin and wahoo. Good reports of sails and kings up closer to shore around the 386 AR and 376 bouy's. Just east and a tad NE of the WR4 out to the WR2 area is supposed to be big king/sail/mahi as well.

The only commit I got so far is my boss, myself and my neighbor Mark, so two more wouldnt be a problem! ;)

We got in the freezer right now 2 packs of squid, 20 lbs of blue crabs, and som rig'd and un-rig'd ballyhoo's and some "assorted" chum chunkin stuff as well....

We'll be leavin here (Sanford) around 2 a.m. and headin right to the 74 bridge ramp right there on the left comin into Wrightsville on the ICW. We'll stop and pick up 160 lbs of ice at the ice shack in Tarheel and the only thing I can think of that we'd need is maybe just two more packs of squid from the Walmart there.

If all goes on schedule, we should be in the water about 5-5:30 a.m. and headin out the inlet to the groupah hole.

Let me know brother man! And congrat's on the king. Please post a pic fer sure to show off that fish!!!

Did y'all catch'm on a slow troll, troll or live baitin??
We usually pick them up on fast troll on our bonita lures (Yozuri type) or on bird rigs with silver clark spoons or metal fry jigs. Live pinfish over structure while driftin has also been a good producer for us as well. I know alot of folks like slow rollin finger mullets just in gear at about 2-3 mph over structure..

Congrat's again! maybe we'll see ya this Saturday
