Aloha Doug, I do educational fishing videos in Hawaii (TH-cam as Scuba Chris). Great angling there mate! Been thinking of using a Alvey 650 in Hawaii for GT/shark/ray shore bait casting. Nobody has ever done that here. Was wondering if i can use any standard surf casting rod, or does it have to have a short rear butt like i've seen in a few TH-cam videos? Thinking my 11' Lamiglas Insane Surf might be good with a Alvey? Mahalo! Christopher
gday chris i know it's been 8 years but yes you will need a custom low mount mod. for gt and stuff i definitley recommend a 651 size alve, they hold 900m of 13kg (30lb line)
I'm Aussie but once did a fishing trip off Florida and caught what looked like our Spotted Mackerel, only the skipper called them Spanish (nothing like our Spaniards). And what we call Tailor they call Bluefish.
That's one monster croc brother. And to catch that from the beach js even more amazing. What a trophy. Hats off sir. 🏆👏
hey Doug did u eat the fish or a bit iffy in case of cigatera

Caught a 76cm flaty at kingfisher bay resort jeti
congrats
They sold one here in dubai for 50,000 dollars it was 50 kg
AWESOME!!!!!
+madmullet1990 Thank you. :)
I dont want to be that guy in the comment sections but you probably should have let the GT go
Awesome mackerel
Dubai moon island 120lb+ Kingfish
Mono or braid
Ethan A mono for slide baiting
Lee Winger why
Ethan mono has more stretch, braid will pull out breakaway sinkers due to no stretch. you need biig grapnell sinkers for slide baiting
Lee Winger ok
Whoo hooo kill everything.....why would you kill huge GT etc etc....
I was asking the same question
Are you a hippie eat that
they didnt brake any laws
That isn’t a mackerel that’s a king fish, mackerel have little yellow dots and kingfish don’t. Although mackerel are kingfishes cousins
It depends on where you live. We call them mackerel in Australia. There is more to the world than America!
Mate this isn't the same fish u catch in America u guys have the Atlantic Spanish mackerel while us aussies have narrow barred mackerel
