    @5:20 i put mine in a plastic bag with a piece of construction paper folded in half. Sabiki rig sits in between the construction paper and sits flat in the tackle box.

      First time I touched mackerel I had to scrub my hands clean for a minute. If you are gonna touch mackerel I normally go for the head because the body is where all the slime is

    When you reel and pump, do you let your weights touch the bottom? Thanks!

    • @DerrickVan
      @DerrickVan  Год назад

      Depends where the fish are in the water column but generally I do let it hit the bottom sometimes

    Is it better to drop the rig near the pier (structure) or cast as far from the pier as you can?

    • @DerrickVan
      @DerrickVan  3 года назад +1

      Depends on the day, but most likely there is always mackerel nearby the pier. If you bring some bait or ask people or some you will most likely catch something. The day you go look around for other people and see what works.

    Hey can you make a video of using a bobber on a sabiki rig

    • @DerrickVan

      The splasher rig for bonito? Where there is the clear bobber with one feather? Or attaching a bobber to a normal 6 hook sabiki

      Not really familiar with the rig but I saw other people use it, attach the bobber where the swivel is. Or put it about 3 feet above the swivel depending on the bite

    Do you find one Sabiki hook size to be better than another?

    • @DerrickVan
      @DerrickVan  3 года назад +1

      Yea I feel like size 4 hooks are the best for big and small mackerel but if the mackerel are small or you keep getting shortbit use size 6, as long as you have either one you should be good to go, both work

      I also noticed that the sabiki rigs without the feathers are just as effective as the ones with the feathers

      @@redundantfeet4696 good luck! Up here the mackerel fishing has been very finicky, been out a bunch and the whole pier is dead, hopefully down south in oceanside it is better cause the santa monica bay stinks.
