The best and most reliable area so far is in the clam stakes on the Mystic Island side of the Fish Factory in the area of the pink ball. Some kingfish were also caught in front of Graveling Point in the clam stakes. Another good location to fish for kingies is out near 134 buoy. There is an area on the Mystic Island side of the buoy that drops off into a little deeper water. The kingfish like to congregate in this hole.
Bloodworms are their number one favorite bait followed by clam strips.
Anchor the boat and throw over a chum pot. Drawing fish to the boat with chum is my favorite way to try and catch fish. This usually creates a lot of action with all kinds of small fish like seabass, sea robins and sandsharks. A few blowfish and porgys are also being caught. After the storm passes and the water settles down, there will sure to be a few more anglers in search of Mr. Striper.
