Bobbers for Kings?

BulBob · 03-14-2007, 05:39 PM

Can someone tell how many king fishermen use bobbers?

Do guides use them?

Are they used in tournaments?

True Bobbers, no, but baloons & the odd cajun thunder have been deployed w success.

Sometimes on real calm days we suspend a bait under a baloon to get it away from the boat, but keep him struggling near the surface etc.

We use regualr neon float from Capt. Harry's it does the job

Bobbler for Kingfish?? I never rolled that way.

Funny I was out fishing KF one time with a few friends. I was getting agrivated because they were running bobbers and stuff to get the bait out. I yelled at them and told them they can get one right at the side of the boat and they didnt need that stuff. I put my bait in the water off the tip of the rod and almost lost my arm when I got railroaded by a 35lb fish as I was yelling at them.

If getting off to the side is a benefit would a small castable planer board be more effctive?

I hate to use a site I am not advertising on to ask questions but I have something new that might help catch more kingfish.

I just can't spend on advetising until someone proves there is a market of some value. I'm from Ohio and know nothing about saltwater fishing.

Check the BulletBobber out and give me a feel for usage on Kingfish or other salts.

Thanks
