Oh, we'll get em.
I know loads of places where 6 or 7 guys could all easily have equal chances of having a blast.
Snipe will go like stink. I know this because I've had them on 4#wt fly rods and they are a handful.
Mackerel are harder running but snipe do leap like proper billfish on light gear and you have to 'bow' if on light tippets.
I once had 3 on at once when i was swinging buzzers for Mullet. That sounds fun but it actually wasn't ! I was in trouble.
Scad, or 'Horse Mackerel' will be the same. We are gonna see some awesome scraps this season and some big smiles.
I only just found out after reading Bob Jameson's book (Thanks Bob) that Scad are members of the 'Jack' family ! That explains alot doesn't it.
Kev had a monster 'Scad' a few years ago from Gorey. Well, we think it was a Scad. Thinking now, it might have been one of those Guinean Jacks ?
Well over a Kilo it was but it went back real quick and of course, we didn't think, lights were off etc..
Massive scrap though and that was on full Bass gear. LRF with one of those will be full on tropical fight style fun.
