Jimmy Toneycliffe (@cptnhook__) is a Kiwi who landed in WA in 2010 knowing nothing about catching fish on the west coast.
After deciding that Spanish Mackerel was the fish he wanted to target, Jimmy bought a 6m Aluminium Genesis Craft and started searching. It took him 4 years to get his first Mackie. Now, he's getting them consistently every time he heads out fishing. This ones full of info that will get you closer to landing the elusive Metro Spanish Mackerel!
In this episode we talk to Jimmy about:
• Growing up fishing for Chinook salmon in NZ
• Moving to Perth and trying to catch a Spanish Mackerel
• Buying his first boat because it was blue
• The trolling rules that finally made the rods bend
• Planers – the Florida technique that tripled his catch rate
• Succesfully trolling even when theres floating seaweed
• Sea Witches, Islander lures and the Witch Doctor
• Why he catches more Mackies in winter
• A 24.5kg metro Wahoo, a 25kg Kingfish and a Marlin at the FADS
If the weed has ever sent you home from the three mile, listen to the planer section twice.
