bait fishing for mackrel

[uncle fester]

as above is the best way for me makkie strip with a floating cork sat on my box with a flask of tea watching all the tinsel tossers with there boyes 15 quid rods and quid leads 6 packets of day lights seen some 250 yard casts no line attached tho sorry iv put this in catch reports

a large floating bead or anything thing [foam, cork] trapped behind the hook with a thin strip of mackerel on it will get them ..... when they are in.

the problem though is if the tossers are there and your bait is static you,ll constantly get pulled in.

Works well in the quieter rock marks though!

Caught my first mackeral on Cullercoats pier, fishing for poodlers with a bit of cane, a dooker and dogger toes for bait. The mackeral only got 15 yards 'cos that's all the line I had wound round the top. After that it was hang on and hope. Happy days.

Caught my first Mackeral at North Shields fish quay on herring in about 1970....
