I've never been offshore fishing. I do fish off of the pier in Jacksonville Beach, Fl. We catch Kingfish up to 60 pounds, Redfish up to 40 pounds, Cobia, jewfish, tarpon up to 7 foot long, jack crevalle in the 40's, and a whole lot of others!

Some days we have as many as four kings on at a time with a deck that is 20X40, but we are all friends and one of us will start calling on where each angler needs to go, as far as dipping under who and getting the tourist and spectators out of the way (off the rail so the anglers can move around as needed during the 30 minute fights).

Somedays the only thing we catch is a sunburn.

If you want to make alot of friends, just show up with a big patio umbrella!
here is a sample. It's a 41 pound King.
