If anybody catches any mackerel from the shore or piers could they post on here please. I\'m hoping to get over in a couple of weeks and I do so love a fresh mackerel.

would imagine it\'ll be any day now if it hasn\'t happened already,
they seem to be getting pretty close in according to the boatsʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.

Some people are like slinkies - not really good for anything but bring a smile to your face when thrown down the stairs
Converting an MFV Fifie trawler type thing.

Well I don\'y know about the lightest gear but I have had seven on light gear not extremely light line beacuse the way they behave is a bit manic, they all want to be in different directions, so you have to remember that\'s going to put extra pressure on your line half the time they drop off when getting them in the boat.
it\'s bloody good fun though.

May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

lightest I have managed to get is a 7foot 4eght brook trout rod witha 4lb leader! best mackie a pound and three quarters, took nearly 15 mins to tame it!
As Billy says, reasonably lightwieight spinning rod and one of them 28g sprat lure type things. Pound for pound nothing fights like a mackeral!ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.

Yup, agree with the above. if they\'re in you\'ll get a fish a cast. Use five hooks you\'ll get 5 fishes a cast. Limit yourself to a sensible keep, you\'ll have 5 times longer fun using a single lure. If you don\'t fill your freezer in a single trip (entirely possible) just gan out again. Don\'t get all commercial on our Greeny Blue Silver Gold Lovely little Maccky Boys.
