Using Big Baits for BIG mackerel!

Ahoy Legends, This week I'm out trolling massive baits around my local reefs and it gets eaten!!
My target species is giant Spanish Mackerel or king mackerel as they are also known. Around this time of the year the big boys come out to play and I got on a couple of solo adventures to try track one down before the new rules come into effect! Hope you enjoy the episode!!

Best part of my Sunday Arvo, Thank Sammy,

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Appreciate the support mate! 🤗🤗

[@edwardh1591]

Enjoy the show! That Markell looks like it would be tasty. I have never been to the ocean. Now I’m dealing with to many severe chronic conditions and I can barely stand to travel. So your show brings the ocean to me.

Good stuff Sammy Having a whiskey watching the Hitzke

Love a Sunday arvo, watching this is great

[@taylorcole1133]

Love the videos Sammy! I live on the west coast of the USA and fish a small center console as well so I relate to a lot of your videos which makes them that much more enjoyable to watch!! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@frednurk8590]

Onya Sammy. Nice trip mate, and a great looking feed. Thanks.

[@christopherdecourcey5336]

Hopefully they wake up soon and relise that the sharks aren't endangered been off sunny coast and the Fraser Coast on charters and lucky to get every 4th fish to the boat

[@lovingburnettheads2190]

Converted a mackie into a big shark both of my last two trips. It’s great to interact with endangered species.

[@jenbeatfishingAdventures]

So good!!!

SUNDAY BABBYYYYY

[@erinjuniorteague-suradi3196]

Despite the camera angle, you definitely got him.

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

Really nice. I do the same thing meaning I troll big baits. Big bait big fish. U got alot of nice strike. 👍👍

[@stevegarland8643]

We can still catch 12 ... or 15, can't remember... per day in Florida. We catch them from the shore. Same problem with sharks though. Actually it's pretty funny to pull in a few fish that have been bitten in half, lay them at your feet and keep fishing normally until some lady comes over and asks "What happened to those fish?" and casually tell her "Oh, the sharks got them before I could reel them in. They're bad today."

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Yeah the sharks are definitely a problem everywhere by the sounds!

[@willkitching]

Nice vid Sammy! Like yourself it’s a sad feeling knowing that we’ll only be allowed to keep 1 or 2 from now on. As you said in the video, hopefully in the near future it gets re-assessed. Still don’t know how they miss those hooks……. Keep up the great work 😂👌

[@kalluncheeseman935]

Got it love a sammy vid

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

[@honeheke1128]

Wow you still getting spanish with the water so cold, awesome work mate

[@benturton3358]

Great to see another cracker mate. Cheers Sammy!

[@MarkLinno81]

Love ya work mate, how far back do you recommend trolling big baits mate?

[@user-ul4xu5xy9w]

While I was watching you lift that fish all I could think was don’t drop it on your foot😂. Best regards from Northern Ireland👊☘️

[@senilestix]

Ironic @14:00 your fishing for macki under a mackerel sky.... PERFECT

[@yakklaayakklaa7028]

Great channel and nice video How deep is the water when trawling

[@brettellis1837]

Should go red mode heaps of blood I nearly passed out. Nice fish but. Found the uv bright brown white x rap was the ducks nuts or x rap magnum cast is good as well.

[@MsMrglenn]

Ya know Sammy I watch most of the Aussie fishing channels and have realized that ice is very expensive so why don’t you guys buy a small ice maker and make all of your own. Nice videos keep ‘em coming🇬🇧

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Sharks are definitely not endangered in 1st world countries.

[@joshuaaitken4659]

They aren’t really anywhere tbh

[@timriley2092]

Hey Sammy it Tim in New York here another awesome video but I was wondering why did you keep the head ?

[@tompratten6281]

What brand and size chin guards are you using for the bigger baits mate?

[@traceysimon3271]

When this is the thumbnail, you know were in for a cracker, live it sammy 🤙🍺🍻

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Hahah you know it 💪💪 thanks for watching mate!

[@craigmccann1028]

Great clouds @ about 16:00.

[@grpaxto]

Have I missed something on further Spanish closures? Still just the two 3 week blocks in Feb and march in SQ?

[@Bobo-qj3sd]

Hey Sammy not that your doing anything wrong, but worth mentioning to your views, particularly the QLD ones, that from 1/7/2023 possession limits for Spaniards changed to 1 per angler with a boat limit of 2.👍

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I referenced the rule changes in the video mate 👍👍

[@tristanwood2512]

What make is ur gimbals?

[@chrisbetter3820]

Good morning, Pls accept my apologies, the message was the result of not being awake properly. Put it down to age , and most probably being used to clicking buttons on the phone, as a Sunday morning routine, expecting to see your latest adventures, all these while sipping on first coffee of the day ,trying to keep one eye semi opened and working on starting to open the other one…. Now I have finished your video, credit is due as for the “Action packed”. Therefore, as I always like to mention, “thank you for the adventures” Chris from Crete

[@gooding1044]

I can't believe the amount of dolphins off the gold coast when you're trying to fish, pretty much any under sized fish you throw back is getting eaten by a dolphin... The charters have made a name for themselves with the dolphin community and now there's at least 20 dolphins following every boat...😱

[@ross49452]

They never give ur rights back, in south Australia they have continued our snapper ban to a total of 6 years

[@Kittehh1]

Where abouts are you trolling these? And what depth?

[@jimf1007]

Thats a big bait wow

[@geo4reels481]

What happened to your Suzuki outboard?

[@terrytailor]

You have always been prepared to do the hard yards to achieve your goals, so well done on those Mackies. I'm looking forward to a feed or two of winter Wagyu 😊

[@thegrouperking]

Your hook up ratio has to be better on lures like the halco 190

[@sicksour7791]

oi what the hell! KZbin didn't recommend this video to me and I had to find during me weekly binge of your videos! Fuckin killer one Samo! I'm an inland freshwater angler and always wanted to drop some lines in salt water. Your channel gives me my fix!

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

Well in the states they're closing down everything and they're protecting the commercial guys that's where the money is but yeah I always say the bigger the bait the bigger the fish

[@johngeddes7894]

Don’t take “no” from no fish!

[@crikeymacca]

Isn’t it illegal in qld to keep a mutilated fish that is under the legal size? ie a head?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Could be mate? I thought that rule was for smaller fish species that aren’t over 40cm? I’m not a fan of wasting fish regardless. I’d rather salvage what I can, not kill another mackerel and not give the sharks even more of a free feed 🤷‍♂️

[@crikeymacca]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing same mate. Lot of good meat there. It’s just another stupid rule

[@anthonyleavey7514]

Your bait is bigger than any fish I can catch fishing up to 40km offshore from Yeppoon

[@ltdadventureslivingthedrea1501]

Video yet

[@jamie_d___]

I don’t think it’s the camera that puts the fish off Sam I think it’s the camera that throws the swimming action out that’s what I found in my experience and then your success rate is lower

Why do you drive forward briefly Sammy? What is the purpose ? I am land locked Fisho, (No Boat) !!

[@lynkpaul2171]

You know I look forward to seeing your videos not just tinder you fishing but also catching fish. With all the years if experience you have, you should know, it's fishing and catching first, then KZbin. You cannot have one or the other. Unless you buy a bigger boat and higher a film crew. When you're fishing and more concentrated in what you're doing from putting baits out, to hook ups, to landing fish, just keep focus on the fishing and let the viewers just sit back and watch you do your thing. Most people don't care for all the talking and want to see more catching. Don't let subscribers era of viewers dictate what you do. Do what you do best and put it out for them to watch. Do the talking at home when it's all done. Unless those long periods between catching and you're bored. You Donte catching, well do the watching. Most of us do our own narrating anyway. It gets bad when you don't land the fish because you're too busy trying to make a KZbin video. It all takes care. Of itself mate. Just keep catching while you have the cameras rolling. Also, you all need to cull those sharks. To hell with the government. They apparently are far from being endangered. The community whiners the avid Fisher men and women need to make more noise about it before they start feeding in people again. Unless that's what the government wants.

[@RikkiTikkiTavi290]

Well I see BS gov. fish rules aren't just in my country.

[@chrisbetter3820]

Hey Champion, Under 20 minutes video???? Really!!!???? What’s the catch? Another video later on today or midweek maybe? I should hope so…
