Pound for pound they are incredible fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 hello, good luck to one and all who can get out and do some mackerel fishing, nothing like eating a fresh caught one, better than from that supermarket that keeps saying every little helps !!!!! i always keep harking back to the good old days catching some off Bognor pier, and my favourite beach being Chesil in Dorset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh is less than 2 hours out of water and even that is pushing it, 10 minutes is better Edited July 12, 2019 by Yellow Bear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get a few. There's been a feeding frenzy by gulls off Exmouth and Dawlish Warren. I suspect whitebait, but no one seems to know. But I know a man who will. If By East Devon you're between Exmouth and Seaton, watch this space. If there's anything on, I'll be on Budleigh beach with the fly rod.

wymberley Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Yep, was whitebait but the mackerel didn't play and the 'bait has now pushed off. The mackerel are about apparently but no great numbers. As ever, it's all about being in the right place. Not too clever here (Exmouth) as there wasa major cliff fall which has literally muddied the waters. The guys are hoping the blow will clear things up for when the wind drops this evening.
