1770 | Trolling Spanish Mackerel. 

Still plenty out there mate and I’m sure they’d still cruise past the coastline at times.

Traditionally pro mackerel guys would run straight mono in about 30lb with the same connection I’ll mention in a second. What we were using is braid either 50-80lb with long mono leaders 3-5m long to give some shock absorption from their staggered lunging runs down to a snap clip for quick changes to the lures. The lures have pre rigged single strand wire in 69lb with haywire twisted ends, one connected to the lure the other either left as a loop or connected to a solid ring to connect to the snap clip. Problem’s that can arise from the clip and solid ring is if the fish breaks the surface the connections can pull a bubble trail underwater triggering another mackerel to bite the area the bubbles are coming from. Doesn’t always happen but is a possibility. That’s pretty much it mate, hope that helps.

Thanks mate

Cheers mate 👊🏻

Oh it’s probably about 25-30m mate.

Cheers mate, wind em in them they bleed everywhere. Great sport fish 🤣

Cheers mate.

Stuffs me but from what we got it would have been a bit bigger, maybe nudging 20kg mate.

That’s all I can ask for mate 😉

Bibbed minnows will typically troll at about 7 knots mate.

@@LiamFitzpatrick thanks, definitely I'll give it a shot.

Yeah but that’s life brother. Some of us got it a some of us don’t.
