Rigging a Trolling Spoon for Pier Fishing

Rigging a Trolling Spoon for Pier Fishing - Crazy Results!

In this video, I show you how to rig a trolling spoon/Clark Spoon for pier fishing at the Skyway. The spoon rig allows you to catch lots of fish with ease. You can cast it a mile and it's super deadly on fish species such as mackerel, bluefish, blue runners, kingfish and jacks. As you can see, we catch numerous fish species in just a short period on camera, we also show you what NOT to do, such as over hand cast with an extremely long leader, it's dangerous for you and the people around you. In this video, you see a guy fishing rather close for the pier to be empty, he over hand cast and smacks a car with a two ounce lead that leaves a rather large dent in the back of the car. What you need to complete this rig:
#0 Clark spoon
One or two once trolling weight
Thirty to forty pound leader and a stout spinning rod and reel: amzn.to/2KIPegg / amzn.to/2KK9Ogh
I also show you how to cast a trolling lure and provide many essential rig and skyway fishing tips. If you want to know how to catch spanish mackerel before the fall run takes place, this video you should watch entirely.

Keep those tips coming, they should really help me in a couple weeks! Can't hardly wait to fillet some mangroves and try a method out on some mackerel. I want to see if they will skin about like a freshwater trout. If so cleaning time will drop immensely.

Went out yesterday to the Skyway and used this technique and had success with the Spanish Mack's. The bait was thick, the drive over from Orlando was painful but it was a beautiful way to spend the day, while fishing a different technique and 'acquiring the the targeted species' with it, thanks for sharing!

I was told to let mackerel fillets soak in milk before cooking them.. Wasn't bad really.. Big thanks for sharing what you do so the rest of us can learn and not look like fools..lol.

Unbelievable! I'd be so pissed if I was the driver. That is one guy I would always be watching so as to stay away from him as we would definitely have words but also I would watch his catch and call in the local game warden if it looks like he's keeping undersized or illegal fish.
