I headed just outside the jetties yesterday with Cuda to see what was going on. We ended up with 3 bonita, a very small amber jack (I think) and seven smacks. We were both cut off on large kings. We were using our fly rods. Here's a little footage, but the action started after both of our GoPro's batteries died. I just ordered two more so hopefully It will resolve that problem. I captured a king in mid air at the end of the video. He was already on his way down and was every bit of 10 feet above the surface of the water. You can also see the unfortunate fish he hammered flying through the air as well.
