Re: Sunshine Coast 28.2.21
G'day Beastmaster, great report some top fish there. As i've never chased mackeral like this before i was just curious to what rig you use and what your preferred baits are if you don't mind sharing?
Cheers

Re: Sunshine Coast 28.2.21
I make my own ganged rigs , No set recipe , the number and size of hooks depend on the size of the baits I get during the mackerel season.Its just a std mackerel dead bait rig .
I’ve attached a photo of a rig I used last Sunday. Ie 5 x 6/0s - This rig was used with medium to large size Watsons Leaping Bonito . I also used a 4 x 6/0 gang with my Australian Bonito baits.
I mostly catch my own bait as they are pretty expensive to buy and very difficult to get fresh ones ie Australian Bonito , Watson Leaping Bonito , Stripped tuna and Frigate Mackerel are all excellent and very easy to rig to swim well .
