Kings are usually around the reef, 90' - 200'. Try trolling planers with bally or spoons, jigging with smaller avas or chumming while fishing with live bait with and without weight. The stink hole of hillsboro is usually a good spot to start.

That article you posted does not represent a king. The local kings are king mackrel good fight but how much smoked fish dip or gumbo can you eat. They are going nuts on slow trolled gogs
