Yellowtail Kingfish, often simply called Kingfish, are one of the most exciting pelagic species for spearos to target. Powerful, fast and unpredictable, they are a bucket-list fish that can test your gear, your breath-hold and your decision-making in the water.
This guide covers the basics of spearfishing for Kingfish, including where to look, how to approach them, what gear to use and how to make the most of your catch once it is back on the plate. Always check your local rules, size limits and possession limits before diving.
