- Ahoy Fisho's, This week I go in search of giant mackerel by trolling baits. But not just any bait, BIGGGG baits. Big baits = big fish right?
As you will see its a rough start to the trip but, eventually one of the big baits gets eaten in spectacular fashion! I also show you some deep water action with the crew from Wilson Fishing including the capture and cleaning of my PB Bar Cod!

Happy Sunday team!! Hope you’re all enjoying the video 🍻🍻🍻
😎🍻
Love the croc Dundee reference re-do by you. “That’s not a knife”…
Great microphone and video dude.
I’ve been holding out for this drop! I’ve recently come to love this channel - I am the furthest from an outdoor person, and I never thought I’d have any interest in fishing or submersing myself in nature, but this guy has gotten me keen to get amongst it and I’ve even bought myself a fishing rod. Such a legend! Epic content that is serving a great message.
Also fish skin chips is where it’s at Sammy, deep fish skin is the best! Fry ‘‘em up!
Always makes me feel better watching a fisherman of your caliber having a session like the 1st one in this clip. Had those baits swimming perfectly!
Dude, when I started watching this episode I thought about all the time it takes to make each of those rigs and I felt your pain when you brought the barracuda in LOL
haha that is a nice bait man! gratz on 100k btw
Yip sammy.
Thanks bud.
Always love it when I see it's Sunday.
Off to mozambique on the 8thto the 28thaug. Being zimbabwe we an inland country. Plenty small boats. Started trying to fix my neighbors jet ski for my trip. Broken conrod. 6weeksfrom states. Too long now I'm downgrading to a kayak. Lols. Anything works. It's going to be beach and kayak. But check the place.
Watch the video clip by Jeremy loops. Waves.
It's an awesome place. The drop off is 300m off shore on the rocks.
Sammy you may not believe me but here in South América we make lots of barracuda ceviche, just make sure you get a small Cuda, no bigger than 5 kg to minimize ciguatera risk. Fillet the Cuda and chop it into small cubes, chop some fresh cilantro, chopped red onions, chopped chili peppers (not too hot), fresh chopped mango and some salt and pepper. Don't forget the lime. Try it and write me back letting me know what you think. Trust me I have it it plenty of times and never got sick.
Geez those are some good looking garfish Sammy! 😉🤣
Keep the videos commin Sammy, just a bit of bad luck that trip.
Good work mate. Glad I'm not the only one that this happens to.
Ahh yes, it's Sunday arvo, time for another awesome Sammy video. Beer in hand, cheers lads 🍻🍻
Hope you enjoyed it mate! 🍻🍻🍻
Geez you’ve got those baits swimming well Sam! Bloody great conditions too mate, that bloody bad down here in northern NSW I can’t remember what it’s like to fish in great weather! It’ll change one day, I hope!
Happy Sunday champs!! 🤙🏻 as always cheers 🍻
Nearly 100,000 sammy! Well deserved great video mate 🍻
Quality fish and solid fileting techniques. Cudos to the host. Cheers Sammy 👍
That last run was awesome Sammy! Spewing you lost him. 🤙🏻
WTG Sammy, nice big cod mate.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do it's great that you've shown it
Gday Sammy 👋. Was a bit of bad luck with the the rig breaking that had to be a ripper of a fish. Would love to see you do a cod cheek meat cook up one day. Cheers mate keep up the great work champion 👍
Another great video mate!
Good luck next trip. Why didn't you use the barracuda for bait?
Very particular bait set up > I like it 👍
So devastated for you losing that big run 😩, it’s have to be a shark to get through that trace…or so I’d be telling myself 😂🤙🏻
I've seen big cudas chop through heavy wire too. Or big big macks and wahoo if the hook is right down the gullet and wire in the corner.
Gday sammy! Ripper video, monster Bar Cod too🍻
Been meaning to ask ya what that audio tune ya use is called when your filleting (the one in this vid)
Cheers👍🏾
Hello sammy the side of barracuda makes beautiful bait try thank you for nice video love it
Bro, next time you catch a cuda keep it for the crab pot... A mate in nz uses them in his Cray pots over there and I've used them in the creeks around the well and always get good muddies.
best fishing channel on youtube
Very cool what depth do you like to troll for Spanish mackerel and do you normally troll around structure or not really?
Been giving us happy Sundays for a while now and this is the 1st tough one, that still features a lovely Barry.
So siiiick!!
Tough week on the salt and briney.. 🤣
Those smaller cudas normally won’t give u ciguatera in fact I got one in the fridge from today lol they’re really good grilled as well nice white and flaky just don’t mess the big ones :)
Good to know Sammy is human, never thought I'd see him get a zero day
Great video 👍
Love this channel
I like it before I watch, I just know it gonna be good
Hahah hope it lived up to expectations! 🍻🍻🍻
Nice one Sammy
Bridle rig the cudas. Spanish don't mind em. Dogtooth absolutely love them
No worries, one time big time...Its fisherman's life
Are those small cuda any good for macky baits?
2k more subs until the big ol’ party! Great episode. So curious to know what that fish was that stole your rig :(
Geez that weather makes me want to go
That last run 😨
You using 49 strand yeah? I might have to go from 125 to 200lb for the kayak if breaking 150 is possible 🤣
If it's any consolation I didn't catch a single mackerel this year here in Coffs, got a new boat in April and thanks to this lovely weather we've been having and crazy work commitments it's only been wet 4 times, for a few snapper and kings.
barracuda make great ceveche, the small ones you were catching don't have cig. barracuda smell bad but the meat is clean tasting, medium texture, also good in curry and smoking, bleed them and put straight on ice.
Love watching your mac vids, gonna try to put the info to good use out here in the philippines next season
Nice one mate! Keen to hear how it works over there 💪💪
Gutted for you mate... That could have been a prized specimen... Please get out there again and give it another go... I love your jigging and mackie sessions!!! Keep it up and hope you get to 100k subs soon!!!
I almost cried when your buddy held the line and snapped the fish off.
I'd like to see how you rig your baits so they swim so life-like,any chance you have a video of you rigging process?
Hi Sammy
@5m10s you mentioned
“How they missed the hooks ?”
Was meant to ask you ,
When I fish for predators , I always show my hooks “proud” , showing.
Why not try that way?
You should definitely do a calab with brooksy
Hey Sammy, where did you get the marlin and other fish models from. Loved the video
Glad to see you are human Sammy most of my fishing trips are like this one. But like was said “ it’s easier to pull a hair out of your arse ! Than a rabbit out of a hat “
What are those rigs called? Do you buy them or make them??
Awesome fishing video like always!
You said that bait was frozen for long time. How long may I keep bait deep frozen in a vacuum bag?
Have u ever tried the cuda as a swim bait before Sammy? I'm just remembering rokkit putting on a mono and getting smashed, wonder if you could make a video on the more exotic baits out there, great vid as always though👍👍bloody shame abt the last macky, i lost my first jewie in the shore break a few nights ago so know how u feel lol. (also with the bar cod, the cheeks on those are too die for)
I haven’t tried the cuda for bait yet. I might have to though, a few people reckon they go alright 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Absolutely spewing I forgot about the cod cheeks. Completely slipped my mind 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hey Sammy what is your preference in deep drop baits, should they be big or small or a mix of both? We usually do a4 hooks rig, 3 small hooks/baits and one big hook with a fish head/whole fish. What you reckon?
Love your vids
Thanks for watching mate!
Couple good handfuls of rock salt will make the slime alot easier to work with mate. Old as trick but one U don't see used much
Thanks , always fun to watch, would have loved to see that „biggy“….
Oh my gosh, losing mackerel baits to small cudas is painful to watch, cero mackerel are some of the finest eating fish in the sea, just eat the baits at that point 😆
Welders glove mate grip anything 🍻
6mins in the video id be goin home 🤣🤣
Hahaha don’t worry I felt like it! 🤣🤣
Holy cow I am all the way across the world and I wish we could fish together. Cheers.
Hey Sammy love ya hat bro,wat brand is that mate, where do I find 1,love the vids brin on next week's ep
It's like fishing has been tough worldwide in the past week.
It's the same look everybody get when you drop a big one😳
Yep 😩😩😩
I feel that you are letting Rodney down a bit Sammy, he's doing his best and you not following through:) Better luck next time Mate. Are Cuda good for anything?
Should've out the barracuda out as baits lol
I hate barracuda . The scourge of the ocean. We never used to get the down here out of Port Stephen’s . Now they plague the reefs . Never give up 👍🏻
You win some you lose some 😄😎🤷♂️
That’s how it goes sometimes unfortunately!
Mate I think that last hit might of been a big wahoo, definitely ripping drag quickly and for a good amount of time, quick and toothy what ever it was.
sessions
Mantap,,🤙🤙🤙
hey sammy if the cuda have ciguatera contamination in your area wouldnt that also mean the macks should too? they feed on the same prey which would be contaminated themselves?
i think it just accumulates more in the barracuda, even the smaller cuda have ciguterra where as with coral trout smaller ones are usually fine and only the massive ones have the risk of carrying a significant amount
only the big mack’s get it anything under about 20kg is usually alright
@@jimjim773 problem with that is Spanish Macks are a known carrier of ciguatera and it generally depends on how many contaminated baitfish they have eaten, exactly like it does for cuda.
generally if your mackerel are safe to eat your cuda should be too, i guess people dont want to take the risk on cuda or redbass because of the reputation they have?
@@mrboxy7924 yeah thats what i was reckoning thanks mate
@@comeatmebro3229 thanks for clarifying bro, ive seen sammy take big spanish a few times so maybe it is about the reputation?
The bait looks like a PB
Nice...
Sammy
Sailfish will do that to a wire......they slash with the bill. Had similar runs over and over near Cairns and then once saw them do it. That run not typical of a shark at all they don't just go for it like that...sure U know that!
U shoukd try the barracuda trolled.. work for me
What about the chick fillets you missed those too. Come one dude
How’s the weather 👌
Bro the biggest kings strikes just before sunset FYI
Barracuda make great harpuka bait full fillets or big slabs
I was offshore with my friend when he was applying sunscreen we were fishing with bait casters trying to have fun on gummys and then the line goes slack and a huge thresher jumped beside the boat and broke the barrings in the reel and then we moved spots after no luck and he lost a 30 kg gummy by the boat
Just curious why you don't harvest the cheeks??
OUCH !
Once I was fishing of the beach for gummy sharks and then
My rod took of an about 100 meters taken and the the hook bent out
here in UAE Abu Dhabi, we use Barracuda as live bait for Kingfish
I’ll have to give it a try next time! 👌👌
Sammy I’ve been lucky and granted a visa to move out to WA from the UK.
What are the absolute must have rod outfits for fishing in Oz?
Really depends on what your planning on fishing for mate! Million dollar question that one!
Unlucky mate would have been a beauty
Good effort
« That’s fishing »
Cheers for the vid
Should have kept and rigged the cuda Sammy!
Sammy .looks like fish were smarter than you ! They were hitting your baits from the sides . Maybe baits were too big for this session ?
At 10:00mins sure it wasn’t a shark
Do mackeral target barracuda?
I’m not sure sorry mate 🤷♂️🤷♂️ probably do at times?
Why would you use trebles?
Nothing better than a solo double hook up....
Hahah yep…. Except for when they are barracuda! 😤😤
Why are you throwing away the cuda??? It is the perfect bait for kingfish !! Try it
Watching this video I really feel bad for Rodney he does his part patiently holds the rod till there’s a fish on hand the rod over to Sammy and the fish is gone … lol jk Sammy
😂😂😂 poor Rodney!!
Why dont you use those baracuda as bait us here in dubai use them to catch 30 kg plus Mackrell
I’ll definitely try it next time 👍👍
