Its funny as we have struggled to find many mackerel this year so far. We had east winds at the start of the season which lasted for weeks and seems to have thrown the fishing into disarray here. Everything seams to be very late arriving apart from spider crab which came very early. Nice seeing the mackerel coming from the shore like that.

Thank you👍 the mackerel in most places in the UK can be hard to predict when they will initially show up. This usually depends on the weather but usually end of June through to end of September will be most productive. They are not as predictable as many think as one day they will be there in great numbers and the next nothing.

Do the mackerel come in close to shore on a seasonal schedule? Your lucky, in Hawaii if word got out that fish were being caught like this you’d be shoulder to shoulder with 150-200 other fishermen. It actually happens here during the summer when juvenile Big Eye Scad come in close to shore.

@PiscatorUK-Fishing

Ай бұрын

Many thanks for commenting. Yes the mackerel are seasonal in the Uk and do come in very close to the shore. Mackerel are a very popular summer fish with anglers in the Uk as they are relatively easy to catch, beautiful to eat and make an awesome bait. Some popular areas do get busy, although not like you described in Hawaii😂

@@GeorgeHopcraft for lure fishing, I recently got a 10ft rod from angling active. The stealhead Iconic Ron Thompson it’s a budget rod but great value. Any way the reason I got it was because it is one of the lightest rods I’ve picked up at that price. The 9ft will also work. I went for the 10ft as an all rounder and for the bombarda www.anglingactive.co.uk/ron-thompson-steelhead-iconic-spin.html The rod I was using in the video is the Rovex Captive 11ft, it’s a heavier rod but casts 3oz 90gram easily which I use for light beach fishing for flatties. For a reel I tend to stay away from the lower budget end too many bad experiences with them and they don’t last. For lure fishing I would go for a 2500-4000 size real. Penn battle 3 or fierce 3. They are good quality bomb proof reels with excellent line lay on the spool which is what you want for casting lures. There are many others out there but I don’t like to comment on something I’ve never used. Hope this helps mate. Tight lines

@PiscatorUK-Fishing

2 ай бұрын

The main thing is not to let you weight sink to long. Try casting in and winding in straight away, so as soon as your weight hits the water lift and pause and wind. Next cast maybe let it sink for a second longer. Also try using a lighter weight or even a metal lure as your weight which takes longer to sink and you will also catch fish on the lure too. Many people forget that even when you wind in straight away after casting your weight is still sinking. If you feel yourself hitting the bottom lift your rod up high and don’t stop winding until you get it in. When I go to a new area that maybe a bit snaggy I never let the weight sink too long. Many people think that you need to let your weight hit the bottom before winding in, mackerel can be caught very shallow

Hello. I like watching your videos. I'm from Ukraine. In Ukraine I really liked to go fishing. There is no gear or knowledge of what can and cannot be done. I saw a leak of this place in the comments. Thank you. but there is a question: when does the season for mackerel begin and end? If you fish in this place, do you need a license and where can you buy it? thank you and sorry for the trouble.

@PiscatorUK-Fishing

Hi, thanks for watching. You only require a licence what we call a permit to fish for sea trout and salmon in this area. All other species are free, however, if you do catch a salmon or sea trout in this area it is illegal to kill them without a license. Mackerel should show up in our waters round about June and will stay about in good numbers to the end of August/September the odd one or 2 will still be about after that but not many sometimes until the end of September. Stay tuned to the channel, I will let viewers know when the mackerel show up, either with a video or a post for subscribers.
