The regal looking, fast-swimming Spanish mackerel, is one of the fish at the top of the food chain, its sleek, powerful torso has the look of a fighter jet, built for speed with the persona of an aggressive hunter.

It’s caught using hook and line trolling techniques, and its quality is generally excellent as a result.

Mackerel fishers are among the most colourful on Australian waters. Fishing the tropical waters of Northern Australia, they spend long stionts at sea, often tracking schools of these hardy fish for months on end, spending long hours under the searing sun in humid conditions.

 Bruce, Wildcard Davey is himself a legend. A fiercely proud, third generation professional fisher who started his career at 16 years old, in 1975, following his father and mother and Grandfather into the world of fishing.

 His love of fishing, his family and his beloved Spanish mackerel makes him a truly unique character in Australia’s fishing history.
