It's that time of year. The water in, around, and off the Lowcountry coast is bath-water warm. King mackerel thrive within just a couple miles of the shore while other offshore game species retreat to deeper, cooler water.

I'm not much of a king fishing guru. That's why I took notes from Capt. Robert Olsen. Here's a Q & A with Olsen that I wrote last summer after getting a chance to get after kings on a hot day in July last year with his crew.
