King and Spanish Mackerel + Bonito. Smoked King Mackerel Attempt and Bonito Sashimi!!!

In this video we run to a few inshore lumps north of our inlet. We catch spanish and king mackerel plus the tasty Atlantic Bonito.
I go over a very simple, but productive inshore trolling spread for these fish.
We show some fishing action.
Then I try my hand at my first smoked fish (king mackerel) while we dine on fresh bonito sashimi.

Dances with mackerel! I assume the barnegat ridge. Spent a ton of time up there. Great video! Thanks for not editing out "you guys are killing me!"

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

As always Pete thanks so much for watching!!! You are correct.

[@joeyhollis7930]

Nice work Chris! GMG is a great smoker. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@Mixwell1983]

Got my bonito brining right now, a step you skipped was take it out of the brine and use a fan to dry it to form a skin (pellicle).. All in all cant go wrong either way. Gona smoke my bonito tomorrow.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for the tip!! And thanks for watching! Hope it was delish!!

[@The12volts]

You need to add Vinegar to your brine (I use apple cider) 2 hour brine minimum- take out and dry on rack in fridge 2 hours before smoking. Leave skin on next time on your filet. Smoke at 200F for 2 hr 30 min. Apple wood (or apple pellet for you) Good Luck!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching! And thanks so much for the tips. I will definetely try them all! It was my first attempt and I was pressed for time.

[@dillonfishing]

Awesome

[@dillonfishing]

Reminds me of Florida

[@capps321]

Love your videos man. Iv got a Sea Ray 270, 100 gallon fuel tank. Furthest Iv gone is AC reef, only caught bluefish trolling. Just upgraded my gear and want to hit some other locations for better fishing that are manageable with my size boat. Thinking about triple lumps or cigar. Any advice?? Again love your videos!

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

THanks so much Zack. I sent you an email!

[@surfsnow1984]

Never seen the egg sinker with the Clark spoons. We usually pull them behind planers down here in NC.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Yeah I may add that if we get the speedsters this season

[@pip2458]

I want to go jigging for bonito in the summer, can i get some tips on how to locate and find them, like how far do i go out, something like that, i don't want to spot burn people fishing spots.

[@thomasmcgee3286]

Nice Video. I had bonito sashimi for the first time last weekend excellent! How fast were you trolling?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for watching Thomas!! 6 knots

[@marjoeging]

Awesome video! Funny, I was looking up Bonita sushi recipes and came across the Darren Dorris video. That show was great! Are you out of the Golden Nugget?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks for watching Joe. Yes we're out of Golden Nugget.

[@tylernelson8780]

Little late to the game, love your videos man. I do some trolling in the Chesapeake for Spanish but am looking to get into some of the inshore stuff. How heavy of a trolling set up are you using for macks and bones?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Nothing heavy. similiar to what you'd troll for striped bass.

[@wineo84]

Barney ridges?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

That's correct Stewart.

[@wineo84]

Nice. I’ll be out there again on Monday first light. We were working the south ridge last week with moderate success. Whereabouts were you guys having luck?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

When’s the swordfish video?

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Gonna start putting that one together tonight. We have two sword trips that I'll be posting!>

[@roderickseah9183]

Cut it in steak size. Add salt and pepper on it. Use wok or pan with lots of cooking oil and deep fry fish till light brown or slightly golden brown. Remove fish and drain excess oil on paper towel. Fish should be soft and tasty. Avoid cooking in oven bake as fish tends to harden up and rubbery.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching Roderick. I'll def give that a try

[@DENNISTunaKiller]

Love the video's, i watch them all so it kinda feels like your not a stranger, would you take me on a canyon trip.

[@reaperfishingnj8623]

Thanks so much for watching Dennis. We have had so many requests for canyon trips unfortunately. We are a pretty tight knit crew. I think next year we are gonna do some raffles for free trips. I wish i could take everyone but it's just not practical. We like to fish with small crews.
