Get on out there and get some. The arrival of the Spanish Mackerel brings fun fishing to our Tampa Bay area.

Now that they have arrived you will see many anglers both Fly Fisherman and Conventional Tackle Fisherman getting their limits of these tasty fish.

Here are some of the tricks for catching your share.

TROLLING:

To troll for these fish you will need the following:

1. Bait Casting style reels.

2. Bait casting rods, from six to seven feet in length, medium to medium heavy action.

3. Spool the reels with 50 pound test PowerPro line.

4. Sea Striker # 1 size planers, one for each rod.

5. A supply of 00 and 0 Clark Spoons, with the red bead.

6. 20 to 40 pound test monofilament leader.

7. 100 and 50 pound test snap swivels (BLACK)

The set-up:

Spool the reels with the PowerPro line, from the line on the reel tie on a 100 pound test snap swivel and clip it to the planer. From the other end of the planer clip on a 50 pound test snap swivel, tie to this 10 to 20 feet of monofilament leader line. To this tie on a Clark Spoon. Repeat this step for each rod you intend on using. I like to troll three rods and have a couple more ready to use if you snag one and lose your rig (this sometimes happens).

Good Luck and keep Fishing
