Great video, clearly explained by 2 enthusiastic and experienced Angling Trust coaches. Even as an experienced fisher, I learned something new, thank you 🙏 There’s something exciting about learning to fish and even catching a single mackerel is a wonderful experience.

I’m a freshwater angler. I want to get into sea fishing but I get seasick on small boats. Beach fishing would be my ideal way of getting into the sport. Thanks, David.

You will love fishing from the beach David 🎣
I'm 77 and like my river fishing on the nth tyne and river Derwent, for both trout and salmon having all the kit and more. The trouble is I've now inherited a new family through my Grandson's partner. The 11-year-old used to go sea fishing with his father and living 45 minutes from the northeast coast, it would be great to re-introduce him to beach fishing. But I need to re-tackle everything I have. Unfortunately, his Father is not cooperative in contributing the tackle from his previous relationships. We all have issues, but it's not the kids' fault. I'm learning from these videos11-year-old just to get ahead of a questioning 11yr old.
Whenever I take my grandchildren to the seaside they want to go fishing and I would like the knowledge and tackle to show them how enjoyable it can be.

Just getting into sea fishing. I love the peace and tranquility of being by the sea when it’s calm, and the energy of a rough, choppy sea. Catching fish is such a thrill. Thanks for the great content. Keep up the good work!
I have fond memories of sea fishing from the shore with my grandad decades ago. He’s passed on now but I’ve been enjoying fishing and all sorts of angling pursuits over the last year. This video and that kit will be a great entry for anyone wanting to get into sea fishing again!

Thanks we have entered you into the competition 🎣
My 6 year old really wants to start fishing as a hobby, he loves watching videos on KZread about fishing and this video is very informative for how to safely catch a mackerel
Good luck if you have a go this weekend 🎣👍
Great advice, i think its not just the angling but getting out into nature which promotes good mental health. Ive never tried sea fishing off the beach, but your video ticks all the boxes for a brilliant day out.
started coarse fishing with a friend for mental health reasons many years ago, moved 250 miles away to south Wales coast, and decided I would like to try sea fishing for some new experiences, and hopefully make new friends. Just need to get some tackle together. Fishing isn't just about catching.

Angling has so many benefits and we are happy that you have discovered this 😃
Great video! For those of you who are just starting out mackerel Fishing, you don't need a 12 foot rod. Personally, I use an 8 foot rod lined with either 15- 20 lbs test mono or 10 lbs braid. Since I make my own mackerel rig (Christmas Tree rig), I generally tie on 5 to 6 hooks to a 10 or 15 lbs mono leader. Since I mostly fish for them from a rock jetty, I usually just use a 2 or 3 oz. lead sinker. These size sinkers are enough to get your hooks way out there. The problem is, you just never know when they will show up. As an avid mackerel angler, I pretty much have an idea when they will show up in my area. That is just something you figure out over time. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Sea fishing is the just the best and that’s simply it. Fishing for mackerel is what fit me into sea fishing and even tho I have delved into freshwater fishing recently I still prefer to fish the sea. It’s always better and there’s always surprises waiting. I’d love to win the mackerel fishing set.
Used to go fishing back in the 70's here in Torquay, would so love to take it up again, so relaxing and enjoyable

I’d love to give sea fishing a go, you make it look easy! I’ve lived near the sea for years and seen people fishing and always wanted to give it a go but never knew how to get started, this video has shown me what to do. Thank you
Mackerel fishing was my first introduction to sea fishing as a kid, Loved it! Swansea Docks, West Pier. Good memories! Would love to do it again.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
My daughter and I took up fishing last year. We went beach fishing and loved it. The beauty is that you never really know what you are going to catch 😊 (& it's free 👍)

This video is great and very helpful thanks , I have only been mackerel fishing a few times with my grandad on a boat and I really enjoyed it , I have never tried fishing from the beach but after watching this video I am very exited to give it a go , I will definitely show my grandad this video and we can try fishing on the beach together 👍
I’m returning to sea fishing after 50+ years ! So so much has changed and it was bewildering until watching these videos The masher combo would be the perfect way to get back fishing Excellent informative videos Thank you 🙏🎣
My son (13) loves fishing. No ideas where he gets it from. We paid for him to go out in a boat on a mackeral fishing trip. It poured down with rain and he caught nothing! Fishing from the beach sounds loads better. Thanks for the video.

You can't beat being next to the sea, does you good. Great video, really helpful tips, looking forward to some mackerel fishing on the Lizard next week.
sea fishing with one rod and trying to teach my son its very hard. My son loves watching angling trust with their excellent tips and where to fish and safely
As a fresh water angler I’ve often wanted to have a go at doing some sea fishing but didn’t know where to start, having watched this tutorial I’m now more clear on how to set up as I’m already familiar with the knots! 👍

I want to try sea fishing because I've visited Wales twice now and seen the mackerel fishing trips but not had the chance to go. Now I can go by myself!
Great video, would love to get back in to some sea fishing. The Shakespeare SALT Mackerel Masher Combo sounds like a good starting point.

Hi Fella! Great video. I lived in Dorset for 20 years, went shore fishing for Mackrell about a dozen times. Never any luck🙄. This vid is Really Usefull! I see now my timing was out, month wise. And I now know why I lost those weights and lures. Cheers Guys! (I would love a Mackerel kit and give it a proper go- Mackrell are my favourite eating fish!)
My son really enjoyed catching mackerel off a boat near Tenby this summer he would love to be able to do it again next holiday
Recently got into fishing with my grandpa and want to start getting serious about it. Would make some absolutely banging mackerel sushi with the help of this kit💯🤤

Very nice. I love going sea fishing when I go on holiday
My son would love this as keeps asking when he can try beach fishing
Have just got back from an afternoon's sea fishing thanks to a friend. Have always been into course fishing which I'm getting back into but he invited myself and the family along for a session. Caught two dogfish and wife has now said I should get into sea fishing instead!!!! I just said I will do both so now need to find some sea fishing stuff.
Great video very informative makes you want to have a go
I would like to try seafishing because I enjoy being by the sea. Always enjoyed saltwater fishing where I used to live.
It's great fun catching mackerel on a light spinning rod.
Great video lots of info love sea fishing helps clear the head 🎣🎣🎣
I would love to win this fishing kit as both my boys love fishing. My father passed away in 2021 and loved sea fishing and I inherited one or two rods. I have taken my boys mackerel fishing in the past as they wanted to know why Bampio loved sea fishing so much and they loved every minute of it. Winning this would enable me to watch both of them fishing at the same time, which would be awesome and something my father would be proud of. The only downside will be them arguing who's kit it is.

I've had mackerel from a boat but never been brave enough to try from the shore, something I'd love to take my 2 kids and get them hooked on!
I had the experience of going mackerel fishing for the first time last year on a boat off the Norfolk coast, and fell in love with it - as well as reeling in a good quantity of fish that fed my family over a weekend. I want to try beach or pier mackerel fishing as the next step from coarse fishing, and what could be better that using the gear and tips from this video? looking forward to the excitement of trying it!

Good to see Shockleaders mentioned. It really bugs me that tackle shops will sell " Mackeral Kits" to holiday anglers without them. Ive seen some very nasty accidents with leads cracking off on crowded beaches. 😢😡

started beach fishing this year after 60 years coarse fishing - watched plenty of helpful videos on u tube to get started but this was more detailed particularly with regards to the length of the shock leaders and knots used. Also ironed out some of my bad casting habits - cheers for that. Where can you pick up the booklet with size limit specifics to species - that would be so helpful. Although i always return i have been asked for fish by other anglers and people generally walking the beach and i'd like to be sure that what i give away are legal
Would love to start fishing next summer My lad is 9 and we live by the sea near whitby
I want to get into sea fishing because it reminds me of my grandad who loved the sea and my uncle who loved fishing
