Holy Torpedo!
Nice catch! Judging by the slimline body, the fish would've fought hard!
Can you please advise what sort of tackle I would need to fight and hopefully bring aboard one of those "torpedos"? Haha
How far would I need to go if launching from Hillarys or Ocean Reef? Generally, any info on how to land one of those fish would be great!
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

On lighter gear Spaniards go well.
mate we troll mainly 6 and 10 kg gear, any minnow will catch them when they are on the chew.
I have no Idea where you would need to go from a Metro launch...we are 600km north.
Good luck. Spanish Mack is so underrated as a food fish , it isn't funny.
Tteat them with respect, bleed, slurry, and you will have some primo tucker!

Thanks!
Thanks for the info mate. Have done a bit of researching and its highly possible to catch Spaniards in Perth metro, sometimes at North Mole! Just need to wait for warm water ideally 23deg +
No wonder theres talk about water temp on FW lately! You blokes are waiting for the Pelagics!!!!

This one looks like a tiddler.
The missus landed a honker about 20 minutes later, and it was a corker! Made this one look like a scalie!

Yeah.....old faithful Halco Lazer Pro.
The new boat is a bit of a learning curve thing being a small ally cat....but I am getting there.
