Well I have to say a big thanks to my buddy Jason for helping me this day and also thanks to all the folks that were kind enough to comment on previous videos with tips on how to catch these Spanish Mackerel. This was a really fun day and we both caught so many fish! Even after trolling and catching our limits we stopped and casted for quite a while and tore them up there as well. It was more than i could ever fit into one video! Virginia beach was on fire this day! I enjoyed several fish dinners from this days catch!

Hey Keith, I just moved to DC so I’ll be fishing a good bit down your way here soon, originally from SC and they way we found most productive was 3 lines port side rod had a 2-3oz egg weight with a 10’ leader to spoon, stbd side had the #1 or #2 planar same set up, and the center rod about 40 yds back on a 2oz sinker just to keep it under the surface, my sister and I limited out in about 30 min. If you see a white over black flats boat that’s me. Tight lines!

Nice content on your video. First time on the channel. Didn't realize that the mackerel were so thick up that far north. We got onto them this year off central florida. Non stop action. Tight lines......

@SouthernReelsFishing 3 года назад

That was the year of the macks as we called it. It had not been that good since... crazy

Do you troll in the kayak or just cast to the spanish?

@jairusaudwin2605 2 года назад

What size is your main line? Mono or braid?

@hef-outdoors2116 5 лет назад

trolling is not my preferred method but I could get into that.

@SouthernReelsFishing 5 лет назад

It was fun this way, pretty much non stop action. I do still prefer casting

You mentioned 6.5, was that mph for the trolling speed?

Thanks for the sub!

@webincomeincome8767 2 года назад

Seems a bit too fast but you are catching.

@SouthernReelsFishing 2 года назад

If we slowed down any we started getting bluefish. At the higher speed it was only Spanish

I installed the Humminbird Helix with side view like what you did in another vid. Are you satisfied with its performance on your Outback?

That's a great day of fishing I grew up trolling for blues and mackerel haven't done it in years but tons of fun

@patrickproctor3462 4 года назад

How fast are you guys trolling for these? Edit: nvm, missed the prompt for 7 to 8 mph.

@fishnelectrishn757 5 лет назад

when you wrap you rig up on the reel get the smallest bungee you can find and you can hook your spoon to the nearest guide up on the trolling rod

@epicwizardlizards 4 года назад

Nice video but honestly trolling with heavy tackle on a fast boat is kind of boring a the fish put up no fight at all

@michaelbradshaw9066 5 лет назад

Troll some birds with spoons on leader. That is nice to watch.

@zash008 4 года назад

The few times we trolled for spanish we only catch em as close to beach as comfortable in the boat. What depths are you able to go and still be successful? It would be more fun if I could figure out how to catch em in deeper water so i wouldnt have to watch for water being too shallow constantly.

@SouthernReelsFishing 4 года назад

I was in 15 to 25 ft this day. They were thick though. Use your sonar to help find them. If the water upwells the colder Temps will push them out deeper. It happened a week after this video and they all moved a couple miles off shore. 60 plus ft deep

@joescarpadventures 5 лет назад

Great action--my only question is, while you're hauling 'em in, who's driving the boat?

@SouthernReelsFishing 5 лет назад

Lol autopilot

@cody7141 5 лет назад

So with a 15 ft leader, with a planar, whatcha gonna do if you hook a bigger fish?

@SouthernReelsFishing 5 лет назад

Dont know hasnt happened yet lol

@outdoorlife5694 5 лет назад

Keep em they taste great

@douglasmolt2046 3 года назад

Doesn't look like much fun; those planers seem to take all the fight out of them.

@SouthernReelsFishing 3 года назад

Yeah I'm not a big fan of this. But it does put meat in the boat

@harrisoncurrey1578 5 лет назад

sand bridge is the way to go we’ve gotten monster spanish and bluefish trolling down there. also if you try right outside of lynnhaven inlet with gotcha plugs you can load up on them! When you are trolling you don’t need to go too far off maybe 150-200 yards from the actual beach. You will see bunker bait balls and dolphins the mack’s are all up in there. Also if you get a small “bird” and put it a little further then the rest of your lines that works real good to get the fish’s attention.

@SouthernReelsFishing 5 лет назад

We tried by sandbridge and didn't get much, did better a little north

@harrisoncurrey1578 5 лет назад

Southern Reels Fishing Hey we were diving at the chesapeake light tower yesterday and spanish were literally everywhere! They were jumping a ton. we got them on gotcha plugs 22 inchers!
