lovely lovely mackerel. best eating fish there is

Rebeca is the best 🤩👍👍👍👍

I gave your 'feathers' a try last week. Absolutely slayed the mackies and out-fished every other type of feather/sabiki/hokai on the boat. Thanks Troj!

Nice, I tried them against a friend using hokai years ago which we rated very highly. On that trip the red an blacks fished about 3 to 1 but the test was only short as the friend switched to lures I gave him :)

I’m going to give your patterns a try this summer where I live on the north east coast near Sunderland. But to be honest when the mackerel are in you can’t fail. My wife will kill me if I bring another mackerel home this year, but my dogs absolutely love them, my wife can’t stand the smell of them!🤔😂👍

Good to see plenty of mackerel and scad, food for the bigger fish, thank you both, take care, Norfolk Ray

Rebecca one fisherlady. Good with the net also. You make a great video Troy. It's seems to me you have a full day with all you do each day.

Another great episode Team Troy. Be interesting to see a cook up with the Horse Mackerel. Nice bucket of Mackerel, a few Pollock, and a lovely Bass. Well done Team. Unfortunately the aforementioned KZread catchup is on hold, both of us seem to have imported a nasty strain of Covid from France, and we are not well at all. Darned annoying after avoiding it through all the lockdowns before. Stay safe & well both of you. 🎣🎣👍👍

I bought a nice Heavy jigging rod the other day 24-37kg 2.10m 2 piece to go with my long cast spinning reel with 40lb mono, can't wait to use it soon.

Nice catch troj few shad and mackerel and a bass👍👍

You have best videos. thank's

Yeah Troj the horse mackerel are good to eat, they call them Jack Mackerel in New Zealand, I smoke them sometimes or fry them whole, most people use them as bait or throw them back but surprisingly a lot of what people turn their nose up at are really good eating.

I tried them only once a few years back and found them very boney and not much taste compared to mackerel. I guess I can try again, maybe smoke a few. Is there any particular flavouring people use on horse mackerel or is frying the best way to cook them.

For me, scad is much tastier then the mackie. The small and medium size fried and the big ones, in the oven with some táteis is delicious

You Tube unsubscribed me from you somehow - glad to see you are still fishing though.

Afternoon troj I was just wondering do you still have your boat still. As I'm coming back home around October time to live as I'm going to look for a boat for fishing and a few pots to sustain my food supply . Thankyou kindly Colin.👍👍🎣🎣

Another great instalment Troj and Becca,great to see you throwing back when you reached what you just needed. Bet its been a while the catches were so good and plentiful Troj Quick question dont the Pollacks swim bladder blow up at great depths?

Yes they do the ones at 150ft the eyes literally burst out . Also in not so deep water if you bring them up to fast. The trick is to get them back instantly then one good kick they can get back down. Get one that's just a bit to long getting the hook out and its over for that fish.

Another great video ☺️ if you don’t mind me asking what lures are you using for the mackerel ?

Hi Troj. I particularly like your content because in North Norfolk, where I live, the local fishing economy is very similar. But here’s my question: is yours a truly viable business? I hope the answer is ‘yes’. But I’d be fascinated to know how!

What's a horse mackerel ie, what's the difference between them

@Trojwaterman

2 жыл бұрын

They share the name mackerel but not related horse mackerel are a member of the jack family or Carangidae

For me to fish in say 50 - 100m deep or 164 feet to 328 feet deep I'd have to travel 30 - 39 km's out from shore but while the winds are only 14 - 28 knots the swell at 14 knots wind is around 4.8m with peak to peak every 15 seconds, at other times it's every 9 seconds in higher wind. Kind of dangerous in a tiny boat I would think.

@@Trojwaterman Yeah here is a very slow progression of depth until you go about 40 - 65 km's or 25 miles - 40 miles before you get into deep water between 100m - 1000m if you want to get pink snapper or any larger fish of 5 kg - 20 kg. There is another place up north about 400 km's up that is 80 km's off the coast before getting out where the waves are slight & the depth is over 100m but it's too far for me to travel sailing.

Trying them at the moment different ways. Down the Mediterranean way some people go mad for them. As for bones after filleting one seem the same as mackerel and the outer spines on the tail just come off if you skin them. I will be doing a cook up on them soon.
