It's a crying shame,I'm here to tellya.... 27 years ago I started fishing Frisco Pier,we caught over 300 that year,close to 500 the last yr I fished it in 1979!! About that time the dropnetters
took control!!!!! 
Since then it's been from 1 to 15 kings
per year!! That's the reason I didn't post to FHB'S thread,because there are
no inshore kings here anymore! The dropnetters have seen to that..
Really though it wasn't the dropnetter's fault.. IT WAS THE DMF!! Regulations on size and amounts of harvest could have prevented this! There were plenty of kings to go around then for both coms and recs! Now DMF has at least saved it for anyone south of Cape Lookout,
cause they can no longer dropnet that far south.. Small concellation for folks like myself that live north of it,and enjoy livebait fishing for kings,just about my favorite fishing..
