Those mackerel were certainly hungry mate!!! so many times we(As anglers) go with a set up geared in mind for a specifci species. But im losing count of the times ive watched mackerel and bass smashing bait fish in close to the shore early morning or evening and cursed myself for not having appropriate tackle/ bait to nail them. Hey ho,it makes us better anglers in the long run! :-)

Great video, apart from the bass lure fishing, I liked the mackerel chasing in the bait fish. Never minded people taking mackerel for the table or for bait, but do object to those anglers that just waste the fish, personally I think there should be a limit on the amount you are allowed to keep and people who catch excess of the limit should put the excess back with a rubber gloved hand. Well done on the 6 lb bass and thanks for posting.

Yea I’ve been a bit slow to adapt but crushed barbs might be a good start , some of mine are and it does make a difference . You can but dedicated lure singles too.
