Awesome mate. Cheers for the tips!

No probs Luke happy to help 👍I have a new three rig demo coming soon with the rigging and the ups and downs about each rig ..

[@robinaboy]

Fat, tasty Cape Cleveland specimen. Good to see such good fishing so close to a major regional city with a lot of fishos. I’m surprised how easy those herring were to rig up. Good vid.

[@OffshorePrimal]

Cheers mate going to leave the trolling till mid may next year now can't wait love it over there and yeah true that so many fishos here we are very lucky missed a few crackers but learnt a few mistakes

[@Glaciershark]

Sweet. Now that's a fishy looking bait for 😃 sure

[@brianfuller7888]

Love the content mate. Geese you get some horses up north. Curious, no wire because the baits are big?

[@OffshorePrimal]

Thanks Brian I had some good luck last year about to get into it again, no trace wire on these I find now the length of the gang hooks act as a trace cause there about 50 cm long and have had a good hook up rates with no trace in the water ,but mate i kick myself when I loose the lot it dose happen ,but if I was going tomorrow I'd run no trace more natural look wins overall for me 👍

Hi bro really good video what size hooks are you using can you please that will be great of your thanks

[@OffshorePrimal]

Thanks mate all over till may next year now I always use 7/0 straight shank mustard are the best brand I find the hooks seem a good size for both small and large baits

[@franciscofernandes5321]

Thanks for your reply God bless you always

[@chefkhanhfishing-]

Hi , I’m fishing here in Townsville too . Can I ask you where you buy this bait? Thanks

[@OffshorePrimal]

Hi sure mate the fishing warehouse sell wolf herring for $9.50 each for huge mackerel take the biggest ones however the smaller ones have a higher strike rate for a variety of sizes and species of mackerel I like to take couple small and acouple big ones 👍

[@chefkhanhfishing-]

@@OffshorePrimal Thanks mate.

[@piipii55]

Cool.. on what speed you troll ?

[@OffshorePrimal]

2-3 knots mate if the fish is swimming well

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

[@OffshorePrimal]

Thanks mate all over till may next year here at the earliest will be back full season chasing Spanish will be a large segment of my channel heading into overnight trips on wrecks now hope you get out and land a great fish man 👍

[@OffshorePrimal]

Thanks Mike I'll start the Mackerel trolling again in mid may next year 👍 back to over trips now and time to do some maintenance on the engine to be safe 😄

[@FishingWithMichaelTruong]

@@OffshorePrimal looking forward to seeing the action mate :D cheers I'll be following along.

[@abbasnaqvi4262]

@@OffshorePrimal do we troll slow with the dead bait or troll fast for the mackerel like we used to do with the artificial lures.?

[@OffshorePrimal]

Slow troll is best with dead wolf herring engine idle speed 1-2 knots I've had best luck doing this way

[@syedrizal16]

can i know where to buy lead attach with head bait.?

[@OffshorePrimal]

Tackle world mate buy two cause sharks like them as well

[@rowandagger7023]

Where do you get your wolf herring

[@OffshorePrimal]

Fishing warehouse mate 👍

[@berutalfishing797]

🙏👍👍👍🇲🇨

[@nikoi9150]

hey mate nice video very informative but ibe never fished for spanish like this before, just wondering what those rigs for trolling are called? thanks

[@OffshorePrimal]

Thanks man these are chingaurd trolling rigs they vary in size and cost normally $25-$35 AU dollars each buying off eBay is the cheaper option you can just buy the chingaurd and put your own choice of hooks on these and just let them go deep and troll at engine idle speed very slow works great 👍
