Trolling baits for big mackerel (catch, clean) 

Hey legends Happy Easter!! Hope your all safe and well. What’s your PB Spanish mackerel and what did you catch it on?!? 🍻🍻

The Phantom is spot on, Smoked Mackerel is just lovely!

"That's swimming better than a real slimy" you cracked me up 🤣🤣 LEGEND

Never knew you could get a dead bait swimming so well! So cool mate, enjoyed the watch 🤙

I been waiting for your new Video Sammy finally and its my favorite Trolling! Envy you guys are not lockdown but keep safe and thanks for bringing us to sea by your video.

Well done Sammy, bloody good fish.

Great video mate. Been on total lockdown for 28 days here in the Canaries with fishing being banned for at least another 14 days. One of your videos came up as a youtube recommendation on day one of the lockdown, so subscribing to your channel and watching every single one of your videos has been one of the things that's kept me sane so far. Thanks & keep up the great work. I have since recommended your channel to several of my closest friends. Happy Easter & peace for humanity.

Great vid mate, excellent fish! Thanks for the tip on skinning Mac's, I have struggled with that

Phantom = Legend.

Another cool episode 👍what an awesome Spanish Mack 👍

Hey Awesome Mackerel Catch and Cook video Sammy !! Keep up the amazing work Sammy !! Thanks for the hard work and dedication you put into making these awesome videos for us Sammy !! I can’t wait for the next video Sammy !! Cheers William !!

Congratulations on the fishes. Nice to see you guys covering up from the sun. No need to pickup cancer. Love your boat.

Nailed them mate!

Nothing beats catching a few mackies with your old man!

great vid again. couple of good size fish!!

Nice one Sammy another great video cheers.

That split moment when you don't know wtf to do 😂😂😂🍻

Great video. Wicked catch. Makes the mackerel I catch, in the gulf, like minnows.

Great video mate ... good filleting tips!

Great vid Sammy, as always! god those baits swim so good! happy easter mate

Solid mackies there 👍 can’t beat a fresh feed!

I've been waiting all Easter mad dog! Yew

Cant wait till they thicken up cairns way .. awsome vid bud !!!! Yewww

I bet your method of filleting those mackerel is one of the best. I worked in a wholesale seafood distributor for high end restaurants on the west coast of USA for a bit of time. Actually worked in a little retail fish market attached to the warehouse. We received seafood from around the world, every type a chef might want. Best work lunches ever, EVER. Anyway, the point is the crew of cutters that handled every type of fish you can imagine didn't really make up any new methods or play with it, they cut fast and according to instructions given a long time ago. Great bunch of guys, super efficient filleters. But you get to think about it, they dont, they have a freezer 30 feet tall full of fish waiting to be cut and shipped. The 'leave the fillet barely attached, make all your cuts' method, dude that is genius and I am using it on every fish except maybe a halibut, it makes perfect sense, it keeps the spine straight and (I suspect) makes the fillets easier to retrieve and better cleaner cut fillets. Cannot wait to try it. I worked in other seafood shops where I did some cutting as well. Processed small sharks for packaged dried shark jerky at one point. Nothing like filleting 500 sharks at a time, miserable. Long time ago, I wouldn't get involved in that kind of ecological abuse anymore.

A new Sammy Hitzke video, a cold one on a Sunday evening im set

Hey Sammy great video loved it even the filleting 👍

Way to go boyz....what a team 😎

Nice Mac! Bitta science with Sammy at the end too🤣

Nice Content! Thanks for sharing your video. I love fishing too

Awesome video mate👍👍👍

Happy Easter Angler! Good upload! Stay safe! God bless!

Sweet vid as always mate.

Sammy you always slaying fish great video stay safe mate

Mate!! Congratulations!! That one an awesome vid again and a stonker Spaniard!! Its locked down where I am and I can't wet a line so this was the next best thing...Spaniards are my favourite fish to catch and it was pure joy watching this...your offshore pelagic vids are always the best!!

Never had an idea how to remove hook quickly and simple until I saw that tool in your vids. Always struggle using pliers haha guess i will make one. Nice mackie mate, strewth!

Brilliant work Sammy, yet another great informative video. How good was that 1st run on the big fella! Gotta love Mackerel fishing!

Hey Sammy, what size tyrnos and rods are those setups. im looking into getting one, may also do some tuna fishing with it. Thanks!

What a catch buddy 👍 and u slice like a pro. Stay safe mate.

Ahh, the memories, I well remember the 28kg mac that we were lucky enough to snag, the short version is as I lifted it into the boat I slid my hand down the gaff to get more leverage the fish shook his head resulting in the tendons on my right thumb being severed....... a 2.5 hour boat ride back in, a 2 hour drive to the nearest hospital and micro surgery to repair the damage. Watching you, bought back all those memories....... worse of all, I was skipper and did not get an ounce of the fish to eat.

You get those baits swimming alright for a boaty hey! Solid fish to open the yearly account aye

Great video Sammy. You certainly put in the hours so you deserve the results. My PB is 14 kg and I was happy as with that. Happy Easter mate, looking forward to seeing more.

Nice soild fish mate. 👍💪

Happy Easter u bloody legend

Gday sammy I am a new subscriber and love ya fishin keep up the good videos mate

Beast of a mackie. When i had a half cab i was trolling back into the port bris hooked a big spansih and dropped ot at the boat first n only spanish

Nice Spaniard Sammy...very well done indeed!

Nice one Sammy.

Yay, 1 min after post I get to start watching. Yew

Hey Sammy shared on Facebook for you mate. Happy Easter as well hope you and your family are enjoying these few days off 🍻

Amazing video will done, pretty envious 👍

Hi Sammy, love the channel. Little tip for really big mackies i.e. over 30kg our best out of Dampier W.A went 42kg and every mack over 30kg has been caught on a live Gold Spot Trevally 1-2kg big bait big fish. Our best fish are late Sept,Oct breeding run around the full moon. All the best

yesss mad vid bruz

Love watching the pelagic videos. Biggest Spanish was 14 inches. Got it on a 1oz gotcha plug. I’ve never caught anything over 5 pounds

Hey Sammy, love your work! Have a question please. Why do you use an outrigger clip when the line is going straight out over the back of the boat?

Amazing

Wow nice reel screeming

Sammy Good effort for a long time to Catch this big fishes

The weight of that bigger Mackie was quite interesting. I caught one a couple weeks back that was 27kg and 1.51m long. Our fish were around the same length but were 6kgs difference. Just thought that was interesting anyways great vid Sammy keep it up mate

New subber. Nice video I like your positive energy.

Nice fish

Love your vids sammy, and thanks for continuing to upload during these pretty shitty times. i asked my mate the other day what spanish would typically go for, and he said anything big with lots of shine, like spoons. whats your opinion on trolling with lures like that? have you tried it and had success or have you always used the dead baits?

Mate you've done it again! that is a stonker Spanish!!! I reckon it looks well into the mid 20

Monster water 😍

Wow mate, those baits swim incredible ! I wonder if it's possible to troll some dead bait like that here in the river haha

Oh nice nice ones man, we have a species similar to those here in Trinidad but it’s difficult to catch them that big, I got a vid with a few, I wish I can do that some day

Hey mate I saw that u were running 2 swivels close together. Just wondering why and also did u go wire swivel mono braid. Or do u only run 50 meters of mono when u trawl high speed.

Nice water Tip Top Video subscription in your pocket 👍

Great vid Sammy. Great feed.y biggest spanish is only 10kgs. My mate has got 1 over 40kgs. They are fantastic fish to fight and eat.

Hey sammy love channel mate

Hey mate great Vid. I’m up in Mackay and use rubber bands on the ganged hooks from office works. Rarely miss a hit and the boats don’t get clogged up. Ribbon fish work amazing up here not sure if you can get on the Goldie...keep up the great Vids cheers 👍🏻

Every video you put out is absolute gold! Any tips for the South passage bar or do you leave through the top of moreton? What weather/swell conditions do you swear by for getting offshore? Cheers for the vids and very jealous of that macky!

Happy Easter mate hope you do another deal on the pelagic

Great video Sammy, awesome fish! We were out there a few weeks back but missed out?! What size chin weights do you use? And what troll speed?

Never seen that done before but looks like it works

Nice Sammy watching from Gippsland

Good luck my friend

Hey mate another crackin episode! Just curious, The fish on your wall in the background, are they from mick molnar?

Hi, what type of stabilizer did you used for your bait? Thanks

lol 8.02 hashtag 'bs' haha so amazing how you have hooks everywhere yet the fish manages to avoid it and helps itself to a free bite.

Done mate on the Facebook page thanks for the day on the water

Sammy do you prep your fillets any way before freezing or just criovac and freeze?

glad you and your dad have solved the worlds troubles, or at least discussed them. thanks great vid. Stay safe.

Sammy, I don't expect a reply being an old video but just in case you do. Did you eat that 20kg + Spanish, if so what do you do to ensure you dont get ciguatera poisoning. Great channel keep it up.

The old bite the hooks trick, some of those fish are big for a reason.

Hey Sammy ive been trying to catch one of these, any tips to catch them around Moreton bay

"sto soaked" you make sense brother. PB Mack 80cm on 40g raider

Solid Mack, For best smoked Mackerel. Freeze it in the brine 😉

Amazing video man!! What's the size of your coolbag ???

Decent spanish. Yum!
