Kyle & Jenny Applefield won the 2016 fall king of the beach on their single engine boat winning a total of $70,780.00

The morning started off just like any other tournament morning. The alarm clock rang just before 4 AM. I get my clothes and foul weather gear together, pack up the rods, tackle, downrigger, food and drinks. A quick pitstop to the gas station to top off fuel, then I dropped the boat in the water. I ran to a friends house where I keep my bait pen’s stashed for tournament day. I was really excited for the bait we had because I had spent days prior running all around making sure I had big, cream of the crop baits. I really take pride in the bait I bring with me knowing that it makes all the difference when tournament fishing. Simply put, having the best bait gives you the best chance to catch the right fish.

Pulling up to the dock I noticed there were a few baits floating, as is usually the case when putting a lot of bait in the pen for days, but then I got a better look and realized the worst had happened. Someone had stolen the best of the forty plus baits I had in the pen. It went from forty of the best looking baits down to about ten of the worst looking baits I’ve ever seen. All that remained where the bruised battered and scarred.

Two full days, morning till night, looking for the perfect kingfish candies.

All the gas used, the time and effort put in, was all for nothing. Now it was just after 5:30 am, time to pick up the wife and break the bad news that the first part of the morning would be spent finding bait.

34

oldsaltfishing.org

35

I let my wife Jenny sleep in on tournament day so that she is fully rested because she fights every fish. As I greet her at the dock she can see by my demeanor that something is wrong, and so I let her know we were robbed. We knew we had to suck it up and get started looking for bait.

After about 45 minutes of bait fishing, we luckily where able to scrounge up what I estimated was just enough bait to fish for a few hours. I would usually leave with much more bait but we needed to get out for the early bite.

Making our run to the first spot we were a little behind schedule but still able to get there and get a good bite in the first ten minutes of fishing.

A great feeling that was short lived as before I could turn the boat to chase, the fish it was gone. I knew it was a good fish and was eager to get another bait hooked so Jenny could get it back to the danger zone behind the boat. The vary next bait gets skied by what I knew was a BIG fish. Not once, not twice, but three times flying out of the water in hot pursuit of the lively fresh bait. Finally on the third try at least one hook sunk into the fish and it began dumping the reel. One more time, before we could get in pursuit of the fish, the hooks pull and we are right back where we started.

Knowing we had two good bites and seeing the size of the second fish, I felt sick to my stomach knowing we blew two good shots at big kingfish.

For the next two and a half hours we slowly pulled baits around the area and replayed the recent events over and over in our heads hoping for another chance. The entire time I was changing baits out as they got sluggish swimming behind the boat with hooks in them. At around 10:20am I freshened all the baits with the last of the good looking baits we had left, knowing we would have to leave soon to get more. As I reach in the cooler to grab a snack I hear a funny click from the reel. I look back and see a hole in the water not more than 15 feet behind the motor and the closest rod starts to bend. It was strange the way the fish didn’t take off screaming right away but seeing the splash on the bite I knew in my mind that it was the right fish. Jenny jumped into action by grabbing the rod and began to stay tight with the fish and it made a slow circle. The fish swam around behind the boat swimming like it wasn’t even hooked. That lasted about 30 seconds and then it took off just past the motor and began dumping line towards the bow, reminding us how a big kingfish is supposed to run. I pointed the bow at the fish and cleared the other lines as Jenny made her way to the bow. After a violent run the fish then slowed and I got right over the top of it with gaff in hand.

Jenny does a great job on the rod and reel, she had the fish close to the surface in a short time and I got the gaff in it. When I pulled the fish over

36

the rail I knew we had a good one. I immediately picked up my wife and told her we just stuck a 40 pounder in King of the Beach!

As I packed the fish into the bag I was guessing the exact weight at just over 40. We fished the few beat up baits we had left for a few minutes, then after discussing what we should do we both came to the conclusion we had the biggest fish that would come from the area we were fishing.

We decided to head on home with our fish and relax before the weigh in.

I knew we were in the money, but was not expecting it to win especially with the size of fish that had recently been winning tournaments.

Arriving at the weigh in line with a good sized fish is definitely nerve racking. It’s a good feeling but at the same time you can never be sure.

Fishing a single engine boat in all the tournaments gives you another decision to make. Weighing your fish in the wrong division can cost tens of thousands of dollars in a big tournament like this. After waiting in line for a while hearing rumors of other nice catches we somehow ended up wiggling our way to the end of the line. With the seriousness setting in that we could possibly win 70,000 dollars it started feeling like a movie or a dream. When the fish hit the scales and the weight was over 44 pounds, that put us in first place as the last fish weighed. Fourteen years fishing this tournament religiously, I couldn’t believe that my wife and I pulled off the unthinkable! With all the fishing talent that shows up for these tournaments, I feel blessed to have been in the right place at the right time. Putting together the right game plan, and overcoming all the obstacles that were thrown in front of us. It took just a little know how and a lot of luck. Adding to the addition to the win is how it will be helping my wife and I start our lives.

I am a full time charter and commercial fishing captain and my wife is a fashion stylist. Neither of us make a whole lot of money but we do what we are passionate about. This gives us an opportunity to grow our businesses and help us start a family better our lives.

We are very grateful for everything this tournament win has brought us and are excited we get to wear the crown.

A huge thanks to Old Salt Fishing Foundation for putting on a great event!

I will always fish King Of The Beach.

All the Commotion is About it’s Motion!

Sea Lime Lures are hitting the fishing scene with a big splash, and for good reason. This is the most realistic true swimming lure that fish simply can’t resist. In fact we just won the Innovation Award at the prestigious Miami International Boat Show. Now that’s something to brag about, but you’ll be bragging about the trophies you land with our trolling lures.

Habitat and Fishing Tips: King mackerel are found in both nearshore and offshore waters throughout Florida, often near schools of baitfish. Like many of the pelagic species, kings prefer water temperatures above 68 degrees, so they migrate to warmer waters in the fall of the year. Kings feed primarily on schooling bait fish and squid and are commonly caught while trolling with flashy spoons or duster rigged with a whole cigar minnow. Free lining or slow trolling with live baits (cigar minnows, herring, sardines, blue runners) is a great way to hook the larger and more solitary kings.

Free lining a live squid at night, especially over reefs that hold baitfish, can also be very effective. Tackle requirements depend on the size of fish and the method of fishing. Spinning or bait-casting tackle with 20 to 30 pound monofilament line is sufficient when free lining live baits as long as you have enough spool capacity for the initial run after hookup. While kingfish do not have great endurance, they are very fast and will commonly take 100 to 200 yards of line off the reel in the first 30 seconds of the fight. For trolling, 30 to 50 pound trolling tackle is commonly used.

Kings have very sharp teeth requiring the use of wire or very heavy monofilament leader.

State Record: 90 lb, caught near Key West

Directions: You may soak the king mackerel in milk for 1 hour prior to making the cakes, but you may omit this step. Milk may help to take the strong flavor out. Pour the milk off if you soaked it. With a spoon scrape the fish from the connective tissue and chop any large chunks into smaller random pieces (about the size of mixed nuts).

Finely chop the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Add the remaining flour mixed with 1 tablespoon creole seasoning in a shallow dish for breading. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the fish, onion, celery, bellpepper, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, and eggs, hot sauce and 1/2 tablespoon creole seasoning. Mix together (works best with your hands). Add the bread crumbs and about 1/4 cup flour.

Form the mixture into large meatball sized handfuls. Flatten to about 1/2 inch. Add more flour/breadcrumbs if mixture is too wet and won’t stick together. Mixture may crumble slightly but should hold together. Pat both sides of cake in flour mixture that was set aside.

In a large frying pan add a couple of tablespoons of canola oil and a tablespoon of butter and heat over medium heat. Fry cakes until browned on both sides. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels and keep warm in an oven until you are ready to serve.

Serve with with mustard lime sauce or ketchup.

Habitat and Fishing Tips: Spanish mackerel are a pelagic, fast swimming fish that are prevalent throughout Florida’s coastal waters when water temperatures exceed 70 degrees. To remain in warm water, Spanish mackerel migrate out of the northern parts of the state in the fall of the year and return in April with the warming waters. They are frequently found in shallow, clear water over grass beds and along sandy beaches where they feed on schools of baitfish. Spanish mackerel are aggressive feeders that will strike a wide variety of natural and artificial baits, so they can be very easy to catch. Many anglers identify the location of Spanish mackerel by trolling or watching for birds diving on schools of baitfish, which often indicates that mackerel are forcing the bait to the surface. Angling techniques include trolling or casting with small shiny spoons, dusters or jigs. Light spinning or bait-casting tackle with 10 to 15 pound monofilament line is adequate; however, 30 to 60 pound monofilament leader is required due to the mackerel’s razor sharp teeth.

State Record: 12 lb, caught near Ft. Pierce

Spanish Mackerel Division: Add on to your entry fee for only $55 or if you want to fish for Spanish Only it is $110. The Division pays out over $15,000 in cash and up to 12 places. presented by:

Why Having Bulk Fluorocarbon Can Help You Spend More Time Fishing Boats that consistently win tournaments are prepared. Its about spending more time fishing. This isn’t just about getting on the water, its about the amount of time you are fishing when you are on the water.

If you are a serious tournament fisherman having a 50 yard skein of fluorocarbon just simply isn’t enough. You should have several bulk spools of fluorocarbon at your disposal and you need to be making your rigs before you hit the water and you need to maximizing your time fishing by having those rigs ready to go. Running out of leaders and realizing the night after day 1 of your tournament is not an option.

There are a lot of competitive fishing teams out there, one mistake can potentially cost you thousands.

We recommend keeping your bulk fluoro spools at home. Here you can make an assortment of different leaders so you are ready for different situations before you even think about getting on the water.

Utilize those stormy days to be ready for fishing when the time when the time is right. Use Yoyos, or a sets of ziplock bags with a sharpie to prep your gear so its easy to figure out what you are looking for out on the water. As DJ Khaled would say, a “major key” to success is preparation.

If you are fishing sailfish tournaments this definitely applies to you.

For tournaments you have no business fishing mono. Yea there are insane days out there where the bite is going off. But if the bite is going off for you its going off for everyone. Use every advantage you can get to get the edge. Most boats today are using fluoro for tournaments.

Nowadays fluorocarbon is not a competitive edge but a given. If you are not using fluoro you are starting from behind.

The bulk fluorocarbon we can barely keep on our shelves during tournament season is our 40LB 500 yard spools. These things fly like hot cakes. Get a

hold of your bulk spools before the season starts. Every year we sell out quick!

ing Cornaceksr Crabby’sKinFgis&hSp anish M Kingfish and Spanish mackerel have invaded our waters again and with such a mild winter I think this year will be one to remember. The bait that was here in the fall never got pushed to the south and has been here all winter long. This means we are in for an epic amount of bait which in turn should bring a huge number of pelagic species into our area. Artificial reefs and the shipping channel are always good areas to start looking for bait and the fish that eat them. If you’re looking for kingfish or Spanish slow troll live baits around bait schools while using a stinger rig on light tackle. Two mistakes I commonly see while trolling live baits are. 1) Trolling to fast. The baits need to look natural, a spinning or skipping bait will leave a lot of fish passing up on your presentation. You just want to “take them for a walk”. 2) The length of your stinger. The stinger or trailing treble hook is there to hopefully catch a fish that has short struck the bait. The stinger hook should be 3 4 of the way back on the bait fish and be left free swinging beside the bait. Don’t pin the hook in the bait this will make the bait look unnatural.

Mackerel with Olives, Almonds & Mint IngredientS • 4 Spanish mackerel fillets, 6 to 8 ounces each • 1 tablespoon olive oil • Half a lime • Fine sea salt • 1/4 cup sliced almonds • 1 cup dry white wine • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper • 2 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced • 2/3 cup sliced, pitted olives • 3 tablespoons chopped mint leaves

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place mackerel on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle fillets with oil and juice from the lime and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 7 to 10 minutes, until done to taste.

While the fillets roast, spread out almonds in a large skillet set over medium heat and toast until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Pour almonds onto a plate to cool.

Add wine to the skillet and let reduce until syrupy, about 3 minutes. Whisk in butter until smooth, then stir in a pinch of salt, pepper and garlic and let heat for 20 seconds to warm the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in olives and almonds.

Spoon olive sauce over fish, garnish with mint, and serve.
