This time of year it’s possible to catch kingfish top-water while they are feeding on corralled baitfish, and their added aggro during spawning means they are keen to bite. Fishing with a live-bait and balloon is traditionally effective, with the right size bait and rig. Stick-bait and popper fishing, however, is another method that has been widely adopted in the past few years. Imagine casting a straight banana, or a classic coke bottle, with treble hooks attached, and you’ll get the idea.
