Dauphin Island king mackerel (kingfish) are a blast on light tackle. The trolling lanes are areas where the current runs strong near the shipping channel. Pull spoons and drones behind the boat at 4-6 knots. When the rod loads up, hold on. These fish run hard and fast. We caught a dozen kings, with several over 30 pounds.
