Simple Rig to Catch Spanish Mackerel Off ANY Fishing Pier

Simple Rig to Catch Spanish Mackerel Off ANY Fishing Pier
In this video I show you how to catch spanish mackerel off a pier! This is one of the best lures for spanish mackerel that I have found over the year. I teach you how to rig it, and fish it from the Skyway Fishing pier but this rig will work on ANY Fishing pier. Catching spanish mackerel can be a challenge when they aren't running very hard, BUT you can still get bites if you work hard at it. Catching spanish mackerel on artificial lures if my preferred method because it is fun and easy, you don't have to worry about baiting a hook over and over, and catch just as many fish. Now, pier fishing with lures can be dangerous because like I said in the video with this rig you have to be careful casting it. You could hit someone or even their car! How to catch spanish mackerel from shore is the same as a fishing pier, so if you dont have a pier to fish off of, you can use this same rig from shore. Thank you for watching! Keep on Fishing!

Wow it’s like 1year to the day since my last comment on this video ! First of all “ Happy Birthday bro !” Went out to the South pier on the skyway and it was windy as hell , but I managed to get 3 big mac’s a big pompano and cut off 1/2 dozen times , lost a bridge monster couldn’t get him up to light of tackle , it was a fun day ! 🎂🍰🎉. Tight lines bro !

@@CaptChrisCanning yep was out there but was fighting the wind on casting, soaked a treadfins for awhile and got broke off , switched over to a sabki rig with the big flies and had to use a 5/8 oz bell sinker to fight the waves and current , got 3 mackerel and cut off 3 times I’m going to make my own “ HD sabki rig using fine wire and 30lb “ and I’ll tie up some bigger flash flies , wow saw josh’s video on his New Okuma set up that’s a killer rig , is that a new sponsor ? 👍🏼

Hi Chris, you did a pretty good days fishing there. That big un was exceptionally pretty. (as fish go) lol I hear they are good eating too!! Nice Video and instructional as how you assemble and work the lure. What is your next point of attack? Should be fun. Take Care and Be Well my Friend. 🎣👍👍

Hmmmm I’m not sure what my next point of attack will be. I hope you’re safe out there Dino with all this crazy virus stuff going on

[@Murusashi]

Any advice on how to figure out where on the pier the macs are? Guessing it’s best to fish during the day for macs

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Days they can see the lures better. If I’m being honest, they have been hit or miss out there lately. Sometimes they are thick and other times they are nowhere to be found

[@jasonsmith8210]

I catch them around noon. They love to bite fast moving bait on the way down to the bottom.

[@prestond8087]

Great new here would this setup work for other fish like reds and drum pls lmk thx for the great vid

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Maybe with a smaller weight at bait. Now, depending on where you fish it might work in general.

[@jessicatyler6387]

I’m going to try this to catch my BP mackerel!

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Jessica Tyler you can do it!

[@soulfly4076]

use gotcha with 60lb fluorocarbon leader , way easier and fun for the kiddies as well
