6/9 NSP

Seems like there were some macks being caught out there this morning.
Getting live reports from facebook. Live video reports, so they cannot fake it in a way.

Guy next to me got a 15 inch Mack yesterday on his sabiki was trying to catch bait

[parkpass]

Most of what I caught last year came in June/July/early August....then it died

[Mackerelman]

A few days after this Monsoon stops, I feel that the Mack Fishing should pick back up.
I know I will be out there to get Me some.

[parkpass]

Yeah, I haven't fished for macks much lately but feeling the itch to get back in the game. Love the method and love catching them and love skipping them to the pier ahead of flipper

[snapperx]

Pass when do you switch to that european popping cork you were talking about is that more for the Fall bite?

[parkpass]

I use a bubble bobber rig a lot in the summer, only time I use a popping cork is when the macks get lazy and want cut threadfins or sardines and sometimes that can be fun and sometimes can be slow, slow, slow. Bubble rig is deadly in the fall as well when the macks are plentiful. That didn't happen last fall

[snapperx]

Ok yeah the bubble bobber that's what it was. how are you rigging that same setup without the weight?

[parkpass]

Just fill the bobber 3/4 full with water, let it slide freely on the main line down to a small swivel(put a bead below the bobber or the swivel will eat into your bobber)attach a leader at least 2ft longer than your rod, then your spoon. I pull mine just fast enough to keep the spoon below the surface. The bobber is your weight. I like it because it's easy to use and not tiring

[snapperx]

Sounds like a good setup you can't wrong with it being easier to throw, you cast that lead all day and it's like you've run over by a train. Found some on Amazon Rainbow Plastics guess I'll give those a shot 12 bucks though maybe I'll wait and run into you out there and borrow a couple.

[parkpass]

Might get out there Tues. Mondays are usually crowded. Tues/Wed/Thurs are the best days. Fri has a lot of folks, guess they call out sick and go fishing....fanatics...Love it. I like an open pier so I can fish horizontal which is where the macks hang. Rainbow Plastics are the best, not cheap but seal better than the cheap ones. I bought some made by Eagle Claw and they suck

[snapperx]

Sure could use some fresh macks clear out the arteries and recharge. Gotta get out there soon. weekdays is where it's at you betcha

[parkpass]

Let's go man

My best days are either Tuesday or Thursday. Generally plenty of room.

I've seen the bubble rigs at Walmart on 34th, 2 pack for like $5 It's the last Walmart before going over skyway.

[parkpass]

Really? Guess you gotta hit the right Wal-Mart, one I go to doesn't have them

This 1 here looks like it would skip or glide through the water easier than some of the other egg-shaped varieties.

Hear are the Bubble Floats that most of Us are using to catch Macks:

Below is the Bubble Float & a McDonald Straw Lure to Catch Macks. The McDonald Straw setup really works.

  Here is a McDonald Straw Lure with a J-Hook to go onto the Bubble Float.

Good to see the old McDonald straw trick is still a thing! I used to troll them in Pensacola Pass years ago with great results!

Actually you don't want it to slide easily thru the water, you want it to produce a splash and that's what attracts the macks
