Sri Lankan Seerfish
Hi,
I'm Alex from Germany, new to this forum and I usually fish lakes and streams in the area I live. Now my dad lives in Sri Lanka and I visit him once or twice a year and of course I tried some fishing. I went out with locals for bottom fishing and some trolling. Main fish when trolling is Seerfish or Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus commerson). I used 13cm Rapala CD, Redhead produced most strikes. No strikes on surface lures. I lost many fish!? Maybe I was fishing too heavy? I used 30lbs tackle and monoline. Has anybody experience with this fish? Good lures, tackle, trolling speed? This fish looks very much like a king mackerel.
I hope some of you can help!
Best regards
Alex
