Most shads in stock on my website (look in description). Spanish macks are awesome fish. Looking forward to hopefully having them around all summer. I made a pate out of the other ones and it was bangin!
EliasVFishing Hi, Elias hope your have fun in North Carolina This is a really odd question but I live in Bushwich, Brooklyn and I have been on charter boat 3 times now. I have never caught a fish, do you know any good charter boat or any tips. I will take any advice from someone like yourself
So jealous right now. Try Snow’s Cut for flounder. The bridges around Wilmington should hold some sheepshead. Don’t make it look too good. We don’t want everybody moving there!
Great vid as usual but dude, herb scissors gadget for basil? ;-) You doing C-C-C get kitchen skills instead of gadgets. Learn chiffonade for leaf herbs and vegetables (spinach, kale, chard). With a basic set of GOOD knives, hone steel and GOOD wood board (break, butcher, debone, slice, dice, chop, mince). Prepping food is 90% of the battle. Quickly and properly prepared products make all the rest easy and enjoyable. Hooksets every cast for you, our RUclips friend.
Nice trip, nice fish. Spanish Macks are a summertime staple here on the beaches of FL. Just keep a rig with a spoon on and wait for a bait boil or birds to come your way. My best tip based on my preference is to put Mack's on ice immediately and Cook them within the same afternoon. I like to fry them, but if not eaten close to kill, they get mealy in texture.
you found one of my favorite fish to catch down on the space coast of Florida, when you get a chance try to just saute it in butter in a pan so you can flip it and get the skin crispy and eat it like you would a fresh water trout, then just a little lemon. you will love it. when i fish for pompano from the beach and catch a blue, i will start using my casting rod with a spoon as the spanish macks will often swim with the blues(they wont hit the pompano rigs with sand fleas, shrimp or clams like blues will however), you catch both but throw back the blues and keep the macks. good luck and tight lines brother
Best C&C I've seen in a while! Professional cooking. Perfect touch of flavorings cooked the right way. Try making the bluefish recipe I sent you with Spanish mackerel.
man you reaaally really got your fileting skills up compared to your earlier videos! congrats man :) also it looks really tasty! greetings from germany
Lol...you said it didn't taste as gamey as a bluefish, and that's what I had for dinner tonight...fresh from the Manasquan Inlet. Waiting to head down to the shore in Belmar or Manasquan to see if the mackrel have moved in off the shore. Love your videos.
Went down to CB and got in on some of the Spanish this morning until the weather turned and I got outta there. Grilled one whole on the grill for dinner, was really good! You should give it a try! Maybe another catch n cook whole Spanish!
When we visit our daughter in NC, I always try to get on some Spanish Mackerel. Fun to catch, and some great eating! Find a bait ball, and cast towards the edges of it, and I don’t think you can reel to fast.
Fast Eddie's pier Anna Maria Island, FL we used to fill up buckets of Spanish on Walmart metal spoons. They preferred the silver over gold and would hit a metal spoon over any other lure. Smoked spanish mackerel is really great. I miss the smoked spanish and also the smoked mullet back home.
Nice landing. Great catch n cook. Can’t wait til the next. I’ve been playing around with crappie til bass bite kicks in, which looks good til the storm last night. Definitely going to go rain or shine end of the week blues and stripers.
NC native here. I've learned that anything silver and shiney can catch Spanish mackerel. Clark spoons are my go-to lure but yo-zuri minnows work great as well.
My favorite recipe for mackerel and the like; including trout and salmon. 1Tbs melted butter 1Tbs white wine About ten drops of lemon juice Salt, pepper, and dill weed to taste. I add a little garlic for fish with a stronger flavor. I start broiling the fish dry and then brush the sauce on after about 3-5 minutes and again about a minute before it's done. Cheers!
Great vid, spanish are great fun, but, have never found a recipe that tasted ok, they taste strong to me, but haven’t bled one and cooked it like this, will give it a shot.. thanks for sharing with us!!!! W
Elias, I have rod floats on the rods I use in my Kayak. You can get foam pipe insulation with a 1/2" hole diameter at Lowes or Home Depot. Cut a piece to fit between the grip and the first guide. I use black duct tape to hold it, or wire ties. It's more convenient than a rod leash.
Fantastic video. Really great one. Love the excitement of the new species. So funny that you mention radio stations. I live near Raleigh and we have NO decent rock stations so it's always a treat heading out to the beach, not only to enjoy the water but to catch some pretty good music. Cool recipe. Look forward to trying it. (I wonder if you're old enough to remember Q104.3?)
Adoro peixe. Me deu água na boca. Ganhei 4 peixes deste e não conhecia. Pesquisei até chegar aqui para conhecer esse peixe e saber como preparar. Obrigado
I was digging that crustacean that was growing off your forearm when you were talking and eating. 💆♂️ I have been liking your videos. I don't eat much fish anymore...
Man you have some of the best catch and cooks out there! Have you done a video on how to learn to fish a new area? You mentioned putting in time figuring things out and such how does one go about this?
Crippled herring works good for the Spanish, white or gold Gotcha Jigfish is another good one. I never liked the epoxy jigs. I can cast the metal jigs farther and when your running and gunning Spanish on baitballs it helps out.
Take the oil gland out of the bluefish. Boil it until done then put it in a colander to firm up, then make fish cakes out of them using the crab cake recipe on the back of a can of old bay.
my grandmother cooked the one i caught on the grill but she cut it in horse shoe shapes with the bone still in the middle and wrapped in bacon. it was AMAZING!! secret recipe she took to the grave
Awesome you just proved you pay zero attention to the comment section but to post your own comment. I told you many moons ago a mayo marinade will tame oily fish like Blue Fish and others. Been doing it for years fishing the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Bacon bait is still king!!!!!
In Australia we would call that a spotty "spotted mackeral" @2.59, what we call spanish mackeral have wavy vertical stripes, disclaimer, have never caught either, but watch a lot of Aussie fishing videos, have filleted plenty of Spanish though in my previous business...
Eli, dude. Those are really nice macks I catch them all the time from shore down here in st Pete. But let me tell you, you got lucky there, those things shake so fast when u land them. I though I was gonna see u get hooked in your legs. Careful man.
Can i have some, it looks really tasty. I dont have a kayak or boat, I only fish on the dock of Long Island NY. I dont see any fish like this in the dock.
Get or make a long cloth bag...you can roll up and stash but use for putting in your rods...attach a float...attach to side wth some Velcro straps...won't break em if you roll and can retrieve the with the float.
add an egg to ur marinade and mince the fish into tiny bits with a knife or foodprocessor+ some tiny bits of onion and/or leak and make into fishcakes. much better :)
Use gotcha plugs they destroy Spanish and blues up here on the outer banks the metallic ones work best for Spanish and the original or nuclear chicken color are good for blues
I'm surprised you thought it was mild. Macks are more of a bait fish to me as they are so oily and bloody, next time try bleeding them right after you catch them, I've heard they are good smoked in a dip but I've never tried eating them

For Spanish go get u a gotcha plug all white or blue head and white body or stingsilvers or spoons

can you do a short video of your thule hullivators on your thule rack ? like how they connect and usage etc?
It is real hard to beat a fresh Spanish Mackerel. They are great fish.
I luv Spanish mackerel. Good recipe. I like to curry them also
Enjoy yourself my friend. Look forward to more Spanish Mackerel catch & cooks.

Get up in that bag fish! Funny as hell man! Great work as always
Best C&C I've seen in a while!
Professional cooking. Perfect touch of flavorings cooked the right way.
Try making the bluefish recipe I sent you with Spanish mackerel.
Glad to see some NC fish representing
Making a contrast between the northeast catch is very informative. Always throw that in so us folks north can relate 👊🏼 great episode
Spanish macks off the jetties in Texas are awesome...culinary delight!
man you reaaally really got your fileting skills up compared to your earlier videos! congrats man :)
also it looks really tasty!
greetings from germany
Nice of Laurel to send you that awesome recipe.
Man those are some monster Spanish Macks! Good stuff!!!
Elias, your video's are always the BEST! So interesting.... You are living the dream my friend, keep up the good work!
Great video, awesome to see you excited about Spanish Mack!
It's really great catching those from the shore. Good eats!
Wow that looked delicious. Glad you're having fun. Great video.

Spoons and glass minion jigs work really good for Spanish mac of all sides.
Nice landing man! That was a great catch and cook.
At 14:10 a fly goes in your marinade and doesn't come back out. lol Great vid Elias!
Yeah.. it’s not a fly.
I stand corrected :)
You don’t eat flies?
Big fan of spanish and kings. Mostly catch and release but they are delicious.
Fast Eddie's pier Anna Maria Island, FL we used to fill up buckets of Spanish on Walmart metal spoons. They preferred the silver over gold and would hit a metal spoon over any other lure. Smoked spanish mackerel is really great. I miss the smoked spanish and also the smoked mullet back home.
Damn that looks good ! I used to snapper fish out of that area many years ago . I always thought the Carolina's were very nice places .
I do good on the Spanish mackerel this time of year here on topsail island, NC. It would be cool to see a video of you around here.
last summer was the first time i caught and cooked a spanish. i never will forget their fight and taste...
Nice landing. Great catch n cook. Can’t wait til the next. I’ve been playing around with crappie til bass bite kicks in, which looks good til the storm last night. Definitely going to go rain or shine end of the week blues and stripers.
That looks really good. Thanks for sharing.
You need to get a stingsilver lure down there and Spanish are everywhereeeeeeee - glad you are having a blast
Awesome vid! i haven't caught a Spanish in a few years, cool fish
NC native here. I've learned that anything silver and shiney can catch Spanish mackerel. Clark spoons are my go-to lure but yo-zuri minnows work great as well.
Gotchu plugs

Damn that looked good I usually fry mine I'm gonna try that recipe
Keep up the videos bro! I love your catch and cooks !!
growing up I wanna say I was 10 we had a good run of them in the summer in island park they are tasty
Great vid, spanish are great fun, but, have never found a recipe that tasted ok, they taste strong to me, but haven’t bled one and cooked it like this, will give it a shot.. thanks for sharing with us!!!! W

I have never heard of mayo-based marinades for anything. Might-could try that some day.
Fascinating been fishing forever mackerel too strong no way
Love the Spanish 🐟
Hey you should try pier fishing with gotcha plugs on piers for blues and s Mack’s during the spring oak island pier is the best
Love the variety ! It looks damn good.
Great fishing friend, like it
just threw one of these back yesterday. tampa bay till friday. let’s fish!
Adoro peixe. Me deu água na boca. Ganhei 4 peixes deste e não conhecia. Pesquisei até chegar aqui para conhecer esse peixe e saber como preparar. Obrigado

I don't eat much fish anymore...
Thanks for the feedback, definitely treating the family to some Spanish mackerel tomorrow
great video man keep up the good work

YUM big slice of fish
Awesome you just proved you pay zero attention to the comment section but to post your own comment. I told you many moons ago a mayo marinade will tame oily fish like Blue Fish and others. Been doing it for years fishing the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Bacon bait is still king!!!!!
Gonna try that mayo idea. Works great for chicken, pork, or turkey. Never thought to try it with fish.
What kind of scissors were those that you were cutting the dill ? Beautiful fish the blue looks awesome
Very nice Macks. At least compared to those I caught once at Sandy Hook. Yes they can really run. Wish I could find some not so south of NJ.
Try steaking them and make a Jamaican chili pickled onion sauce its amazing
Yum Yum great vid man.
A question please....sun glasses in your kitchen ????
Hey Elias, what Northeast fish do you think this recipe would work well with? It looks so simple yet so good man
Here in Tampa Bay we catch monster spanish wading bro.
Nice vid! Where did you get the cooler bag from? I need one tall like that. Appreciate it
The yellow spots are a complete giveaway for a Spanish mackerel
They are great smoked
Thanks for showing the landing, could you do that every time?
I really don’t like showing distinct places where I launch and land from. Don’t want flat tires. People don’t appreciate it.
EliasVFishing I can understand that just wanted to see some outtakes of spills. Lol proves your human. Thanks for the vids.
Do you have to bleed them before fillet them and eat?
Spanish macks are great for sashimi.
In Australia we would call that a spotty "spotted mackeral" @2.59, what we call spanish mackeral have wavy vertical stripes, disclaimer, have never caught either, but watch a lot of Aussie fishing videos, have filleted plenty of Spanish though in my previous business...
Here in the usa the spotted are spanish macks, wavy lines are called king macks.
That shinedown song has been playing on WMMR in PHilly for weeks!!! LMAO
Well done! Was that Saturday?
Spots kings solid silver
I stay away from swivels unless connected to the lure fish go after the swivels been bit off many times at the swivels
Look at that SLAB of fish on that plate!!
What kind of boat they be fishing on I been seeing that on like 2 or 3 channels these small little canoe like fishing boats ?
Eli, dude. Those are really nice macks I catch them all the time from shore down here in st Pete. But let me tell you, you got lucky there, those things shake so fast when u land them. I though I was gonna see u get hooked in your legs. Careful man.
Over 19,000 views? And climbing on the subscribers? 👍👊 killer job man keep on!
Can i have some, it looks really tasty. I dont have a kayak or boat, I only fish on the dock of Long Island NY. I dont see any fish like this in the dock.
Spanish are awesome I maranate in olive oil garlic and oregano then grill it nothing better
Get or make a long cloth bag...you can roll up and stash but use for putting in your rods...attach a float...attach to side wth some Velcro straps...won't break em if you roll and can retrieve the with the float.
My dude got the macaroni straight back onto his arm🤦🏻♂️😂😂
What's the furthest out you've been in a kayak like that?
Very good. .
Did you scale them? What temp were you looking for?
No scales really, water above 70 degrees
EliasVFishing HaHa! I think he means the cooked temp of fish.
Idc what you catch and cook I just enjoy them either way
Looks Delicious
Where did u get that kayak I want to try one out. I’m very tall an weigh 250 so I need the rite one I like yours. Nice spans too way to go
bigc42 it's in the video description
Gotcha plugs great for Spanish an blues
pretty fish
Love it sashimi
Dumb question, never kayaked before, whats the flag on the back for?
Elias what kayak do you use and how much did the kayak alone cost?
Ben Vans Im not Elias but its a Hobie Outback that runs around 2500 or a bit more.
add an egg to ur marinade and mince the fish into tiny bits with a knife or foodprocessor+ some tiny bits of onion and/or leak and make into fishcakes. much better :)
