How To Troll for Spanish Mackerel

For a full list with purchase links of all the gear I use go to: www.southernre...
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......

    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.

    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.

    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
