Join us as we venture to the Skyway Fishing Pier State Park to catch mackerel, stay tuned to the end where we cook it up in the fryer. The key when using the speck jig is to allow it to sink all the way to the bottom and rapidly work it back to the surface with as little slack as possible. This will help prevent bite offs. For more hits, I recommend using 30lb leader but if you start getting broke off too much, increase it to 40 or even 50lb mono. Wire will limit strikes and is not recommended.

Man,that St. Croix rod has served you well! Goin Bass fishing Tuesday gotta get my mind off what's going on. Hope more people find out fishing soothes the nerves. Watching you and Chris fish helps more than you know. Thanks Cap'n!

Good stuff Josh! I’ve only ever had it baked but many people have told me it’s good fried. I plan to try it next time I catch some. Definitely do more catch and cooks.

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

Definitely try it fried, you will love it.

Speck rigs are a long time favorite of mine. They are effective on most saltwater bay fish day or night. Looks like you guys have a good spot with that causeway.

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

I love the simplicity and they do get the job done well.

@RadReelingFishing 4 года назад

Those looked like yummy gold nuggets. Always a fun adventure when the mackerel are biting. I was hoping to see a Goliath hook up too.

Hey Josh.. Yeah the back have been hitting pretty good in the Sarasota area also.. I heard a couple of ughs from Chrissypoo, so figured he was having his normal aggravation. Lol. You know we all love your catch and cook videos.. I found if you let the fillets sit in milk a couple hours that also helps with the taste not being so fishy.. Loved the video and thanks so much with sharing with us.. I always look forward to your videos.. Always your friend, fan, and subscriber..

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

Hey Rick, you are right about that. Milk or lemon juice pulls that fishy taste right out. I like to allow mine to soak for 24 hours when possible.

@LRocks1000 4 года назад

@@Saltyscales I see this about Spanish all the time. Not sure what ya'll mean. I don't even soak my blues, just bleed 'em. That "fishy" taste doesn't really exist unless you eat the dark meat (bloodline) in my opinion. I caught a 20" Spaniard off the cocoa beach area, cleaned him, didn't even bleed him, best, pure white fillets I've scene besides Pompano. Ate it raw like sushi on the pier to be a badass... Was perfectly fine. Long story short, I think Kings give the Spaniards a bad rap for the quality of meat. You don't need to do anything besides season and cook for a spanny. Thanks for the video though!

Hey josh, always love to watch your skyway videos ,informative and for us daily meat hunters that want to have fun and bring back fish for the table and learn what tackle to use , you say y'all got cut off a lot have you tried thin wire , I bought a spool of strong thin stainless steal wire that you use for making jewelry at Walmart , it's cheaper than the wire leader in the fishing tackle section and its strong and thin , gonna try it on my next run to the pier watch'n y'all flog the water always gets me motivated ! Tight lines and good times 🎣

@michaelvega2066 4 года назад

Great video! I will have to try out that jig, I usually use the Gotcha plugs when targeting mackerel. Do you prefer the north or south pier?

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

Gotcha's work great, just expensive to lose a bunch to the toothy mackerel. Personally, I like the south pier, more room, and options.

@iancordova 4 года назад

When do you guys typically fish? In the morning or afternoon? Is there a leading factor on the time of day you go to the pier such as tide over time of day? Coming from Citrus County, it seems by the time I get there, the current and wind pick up making fishing tough. Then I see videos like this where the water seems calm compared to what I see :)

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

We fish all day but the most productive times are sunrise and a couple hours before sunset. Pay attention to feed times, wind and pressure.

@frostizz2072 2 года назад

I just bought 2 3/4 spoons, will those work for mack and when do they come to skyway

@BJGreaves 4 года назад

Ok I have caught several Goliaths from a boat but wondering what the strategy is from the pier? In terms of de-hooking them. Since you can’t take them out of the water? Or are the Goliath at the skyway small enough typically to bring out of the water? I’ve been wanting to try that but have shy’d away because I don’t want to cut the line 20’ up if you catch one too big to haul up?

@Saltyscales 4 года назад

Use a circle hook and a DGX Titanium Tek Line Cutter with rope to cut. We never take them out of the water unless they are babies.
