welcome to NESA Alex, what you do to catch mackerel is stand on the end of a pier with a string of feathers and chuck it out to sea and stay there until you have caught loads of mackerel. Don't know if anybody has informed you that before you become a fully affiliated member of NESA, the first few thousand mackerel you catch you have to give to me.

Only joking mate and welcome, but i am quite partial to a bit of mackerel.

Hi mate, welcome to the site: as the man says,

or a float rod with mackerel strip/sandeel fished about 10-12ft down (daylights best at beginning of the season, float catches a lot more when the season's in full swing & bigger fish as well - at least that's what I've found at Blyth).

My best tip - wait a couple more weeks or so!

The next spell of good, settled weather should see them coming in better numbers, with late July / August the peak season.

Welcome to NESA Alex, as has been said, don't try to complicate it but do try different methods. Float fishing can be one of the most rewarding ways of catching Mackerel, just the anticipation of whether it will go under or not, I love that type of fishing. Sometimes they will take the spinner and sometimes they will take feathers. Then you have the days when they will take absolutely anything you put in the water lol.

Don't go taking too many either, despite what Charlton says They can go off very quickly in the sun and I have seen people take big black bags full of half cooked fish home. Not the most sensible thing to do, although if you eat them it will keep you very regular
