Phil Atkinson gets his turn on the gaff as Jezz hooks a Big NSW Landbased Spanish Mackerel.

Can you please make a video explaining how to find or what to look for a good ledge to fish? And keep it up, and never stop posting.

Great tribute to Ron - wonder how many fishos tried their hand at LBG after watching the classic, 'Spinning for Spainards'. I'm sure those metal lures would work just as well today and Ron's theory about the man who makes the most casts, catches more fish, still holds true.

True Frank it’s like fast bowling keep throwing them down , line and length and eventually it happens - cheers Phil a

A good gaffman is worth his weight in gold on the stones, well done Phil. Can be the doing of a good day or bad day depending. Now is a great time for big beach combing/headland Spaniards in far northern NSW. I find them bigger on average in close now chasing the tailor and mulllet. Hope I get one too next week

[@philatkinson-hw1qe]

Agree I’m thinking we’ve got about a month of mackerel water to go on the north cost of nsw - cheers Phil a

[@philatkinson-hw1qe]

Cheers def not easy to fish reg Phil a

[@adzoutnabout8666]

Great fish off the stones. I lost a big one off Hat nearly 30 yrs ago on a home made brass jig. Never returned for another crack at them.

[@philatkinson-hw1qe]

Same and I keep going back and keep losing them - cheers Phil a

[@adzoutnabout8666]

@@philatkinson-hw1qe haha. Fairly sure I fished the ledge at point perp with you before and after landbased addiction. Think we did OK given the gear we had 🤙
