BIG City Mackerel! How is the fishing so good here?!

Ahoy Legends, this week I head out chasing metropolitan Mackerel with my good mate Brownie and end up hooking my Nemesis fish!!
What starts as a humble little morning trip quickly turns into a hot session as the mackerel start biting thick and fast then in the midst of it all, that's when I hook it!! Hope you enjoy the video!!

Another awesome vid, Sammy. I have really enjoyed your content the last couple of years. It's been great to see your channel grow. I hope 2024 treats you very well, mate 🍻🍻

Happy New year Sammy 🎉 All the Best 👍🏽 Mate can't wait for the next Episode , Madd spottie sesh off the Goldie 🎉 Brother and the old cobes coming to the party. yeww How good !!!, tight lines, and calm seas. All day Capitan 😀 frothing!!!!

[@jayjohnson9668]

Nice work there Sammy! Those look just like Spanish Mackerel here in the US but are the size of what we call King Mackerel. The Spanish usually dont get over 5-6 lbs but the Kings can be 40-50 lbs. Both are great to catch and eat just like your “spotties”😎. Tight lines brotha!🎣

[@nathanlitjens5905]

What we call Spanish mackerel you call king mackerel. They get the same size here.

[@chuckchuckles1688]

great video sammy

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

Rockin sesh boys. Well done :)

[@lovefishncookn14]

Happy new year mate, all the best for 2024 🍺🍺😎🎣👍

[@JillyBean70]

All the best for 2023 ♥♥

[@BriansBoatingandoutdoors]

Great year mate. Hope to catch up on the adventure trail in 24’

[@andrewmerry9493]

I was so excited that I was going to match your catch for the first time after bagging out on spotties for the first time but then you got into the cobia. I have disgraced myself and my family once again

[@davesmith6891]

Happy new year to you and your family mare Thank you for the most awesome year of fishing Can't wait to see what you have installed for everyone in 2024 From my family to you Thank you❤❤

[@DBWELDER100]

20:42 Love it!!

[@MrAcuta73]

Definitely a popular fishery! You and plenty of friends out for a fish! Not quite as crazy as bouy 10 fishing for coho salmon or Drano lake for Spring Chinook...but definitely a lot of folks out there. If you want to see some proper combat fishing, Google either of those things. Drano it feels like you could walk across all the boats, and you probably could with some effort.

[@peterdebeer8765]

First like. Also watching in India while on the bus

[@janosivan8468]

I was one of the kayakers out there, I'm usually trolling deadbaits, but this year I just started spinning for spotties too, great fun! Bit of an extra challenge after I'm on I have no control of the kayak and it gets exciting amongst the anchored boats 😅

[@kirkwoolston6932]

Hey thanks mate. Any tips for handling the fight around boats from the yak? Cheers!

[@janosivan8468]

@kirkwoolston6932 there was a few tense moments when the fish was running too close to boats, but I was only trying amongst the boats on low wind days. Any wind would make it very difficult to control. Luckily I didn't hook a cobia, that would be sketchy with its towing power.

[@brushitoff503]

Have a great New Years!

[@ultramoon4]

Happy New Year

[@robertsiologa8681]

Follower for years mate and love the provision of knowledge you provide. Recently viewed the channel again..what type of video and audio gear do you use? Battery life with the amount of footage? Not sure if this has been covered but have loved ya channel (no pun intended) since gettin my first boat in 2017. 2016 done the Flattie Classic and remembered pretty much the Whyte bros, Wilson, Venom, Mad Heuys and local boys up there. Love ya work bro from NZ fishing uncharted territory to knowledge I hold close to my chest 👌

[@rickymartinfishing3391]

Send those choccie logs down our way Sammy.

[@chuckchuckles1688]

some great fish on the palmy reef

[@boostjunky24]

Great vid Sammy. What metal slugs were you casting on that day?

[@malmissingham6033]

well done & great video again Sammy. WHAT DATE WAS THAT PLZ ??

[@ashleysmith2994]

Sam my fav eating fish bar none (and I love beer on the wood at Brekkie Creek) is Cobia. So want to see catch and cook bro.

[@terrytailor]

What a great way to finish what has been a wonderful year of really good fishing content. Thanks for all your early starts, long days and late nights editing. The quality entertainment has been much appreciated. I love the way you are always improving things and trying new techniques. I'm looking forward to 2024 and what you can come up with to keep us drooling. And I'm also looking forward to being more available to get out there with you and enjoy one of those epic sessions. Happy New Year Sam. 🎉🎉

[@jandreneethling5664]

Nice Kobia Sammy May the fishing gods bless your rods and keep smiling on U in 2024 My breakfast beer 🍺 is on U for entertaining my Sunday mornings

[@benbrown4846]

Haha. Old mate needs to watch is rods better. Mist plenty of fish. Lol. Great vid sammy. Happy New Year's guys..

[@hi_im_ep1k187]

Have you ever tried gang hooks for the spottys?

[@georgekatsipis6052]

Hi Sammy thanks for another great video I’m heading out to Sunshine Beach tomorrow to try for some spotted Mackerel can I troll for these like the Spanish Mackerel

[@supariyanto8880]

Kerja bagus,saya lihat dari indonesia sammy.

[@63off]

Is that @rokkit kit paddling past at 2:11? Great session mate, hope you and your family have a terrific 2024.

[@LETS_SEE_FISHIG]

How pretty is that fish!

[@bigd4000]

Have a great 2024 with ur fam an make sure u maximise ur time with them as given world events recently it could b an interesting year?? Stay safe budd 🤙

[@A.CFishingextreme]

Sammy what would you say is the most effective overall way to catch mackerel

[@xnorcal831x]

With a fishing pole. Preferably with string.

[@A.CFishingextreme]

@@xnorcal831x we call it a fishing rod with fishing line

[@tritonjackmam5.681]

Go to the fish monger and catch it as he tosses it to you and hand over your money that is how you catch fish and are guaranteed to eat it 😂😂😂 and that's from a guy who loves fishing 😂😂😂

[@John06648]

Cobia that size here will get you screwed if game warden finds that Lil guy

[@keneagle7684]

Brownies rod sounds like a $30 kid special from Kmart 😆

[@bigbopper143]

Flour then egg wash next step breadcrumbs. Couple a time into nice hot peanut oil. Add salt and fresh lemon or lime and PIG OUT 😅

[@aydindogan1770]

Whats the lure called that you were using

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

It’s a 25gram Lazer lure 👍

[@anshsharma6420]

which state is he fishing in?

[@anshsharma6420]

i just realised he said gold coast but what area? how would i get there and would a 4.5 meter boat be alright there?

[@noeldenney7782]

Does your mate fish much ? 😆

[@reecegerick3555]

Are you ex army @sammy

[@shijjas]

Your spinning reel is making all sorts of noises, doesn’t sound good
