Circle hooks? treble hooks? standard J hooks? What works the best. The only kings i've ever caught were on accident while trolling with stretches or skirts. I'm going out this weekend and i want to try to get one with some live bait and i'm not sure what kind of rig to use. any info would be great>

In my opinion, use 3x strong #1 or 1/0 trebles, about 16" of 32# single strand with a small black swivel. If you are using large baits such as big hard tails you may want to use a single j hook about 3/0 with a smaller #4 treble about 3" back as a stinger. Nose hook the front hook and either lightly hook the stinger in the back or let it free float along side. It's a little early for kings but you never now when a loner is around. Bite usually picks up later this month.

The only kings i've ever caught were on accident while trolling with stretches or skirts.I catch and target most of my kings on stretches. It's by no means an accident and is a good way to target them. I agree that it's a little early for the kings to start rolling in. At the end of April, they should start showing up more.
