Catching Those Mackeral From Lures
Voters will tell you that this fish is the pinnicle. Not many people out there in the world have had a chance to be in the area of one let alone hook one on to there line. You need to have two things on your side, your brain and the correct gear. Seriously think about adding a Shimano Stella 18000sw to your collection. You know what they say practice makes perfect and this is no different. Most people need to have a couple of tries at it first before they can actually reel one in. There are a lot of different techniques and battle plans when it comes to catching these monster fish and below is just a few of them.
You will be taken away by the first ten to twenty meters of the first run of the fish. It will smash the bait and then just split. If it’s a twenty kg or bigger fish then you are in for the ride of your life. It has grabbed your bait with your hook or lure and made a b line straight to the horizon. The ratches is the mechanism on the reel which makes the buzzing sound. You look up at your rod and its bent in two. And Bob’s your uncle. A good reel is important here like using the Shimano Stella 18000.
Trolling with a big colourful lure is one of your best bets in catching this trophy fish. If there is one there it will smash it, if not move on to the next area. Once the lures are out you can just sit back and relax and wait for that thing to hit. Your waiting for an explosion. For live bait you are best of using swimming gar or wolf herring.
You can also fish for them using live bait. If you are fishing near the reef for smaller fish then always try to have a live bait out around there somewhere. It will get easier. The big spanish mackeral will just sit around near the reef.
The other way which uses a bit of effort is the casting and jigging for big Spanish. Once you have hooked one you will be addicted. Chrome is the best type of jig. The best reel for this is the Stella 18000SW from Shimano.
