Kingfish numbers are back along the high-bar area and around the Pines, north of Sebastian Inlet in about 50 to 60 feet of water. The kings are mostly 8 to 12 lbs. with an occasional 20-lb. smoker sneaking through your baits and leaving you with a racing heartbeat and usually a bird’s nest on the spool.
