Re: Fish identification
24" kingfish? Doubt it... Unless its a drastic length exaggeration. If they are kingfish, try small hook hi-lo rigs with fish bites. They work well for croaker and kings when the surf warms up.
If they're bluefish, they'll eat anything. Being as you garnered zero strikes I'd take them off the table as an option.
Stripers can be tough when they key in on small bait like fleas and cinder worms... but a 2' schoolie would eat a piece of clam in a heart beat w/o thinking twice, esp in the surf.
Without a visual, it's hard to tell. Perhaps puppy drum?
