Mackrel ??

2 weeks for ok numbers from the boats and about 4 weeks from the shore based on past years but every so many years they turn up very late...who knows but one thing is for sure it wont be long.

every year i look forward to them coming in and after a couple of weeks i curse them for struggling to get through them to the cod and ling!cant whack the sport though on light gear though ritchie

Yer same here, love when they come in and after a week or two its a pain once you have 10-12 for a days fishing bait.


Had to purchase some for the skate trip up Scotland, it was about £2 a kilo

Great sport either on the boat or shore would rather fish for them from the shore though

too late ...i have bought feathers trekkies and cider.......and i hav also removed my shockleader ....

First time I will have maki fished will be this summer.. How do I drink the cider, warm or cold or with ice, out of the can or do I hide it in a paper bag.. Think Im okay with the tackle side....

I've had to work this bank holiday but my mates where out friday and said they could hardly get through the mackerel and coalies to get to the codling. Igot a dozen off them for bait freezer.
