Fishing for Kingfish in Tampa FL Catching Mackerel and Bonita with Hog Squad Fishing

In this episode of Landed Fishing Captain Shaw is Joined by Captain Devan of @hogsquadfishing as they set their sights on KINGFISH in the Gulf of Mexico.

After the crew loads up on live bait at Tampa's Skyway Bridge, it's offshore for the crew as they hit some numbers and begin bump trolling with white bait for Kings. Hooked up quickly but not with the target species. The crew tests a variety of locations and techniques.

Mid way through the trip the captains spot frigate birds diving on the surface which typically indicates a nearby bait ball. Surprised to find the bait ball is a ball of TUNA.

Settle in for an offshore trip out of Tampa Florida to catch Mackerel and Tuna with @LandedFishing + @hogsquadfishing
