oldypigeonpopper Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Hello, as above, Have put my old Mentor hat on again to help a young chap start Beach and Trout fishing, the latter is easy with Farmoor being a good venue, but not been beach fishing for many many years so looking at some days on the Mackerel around Hayling, Selsey, Portsmouth , maybe Chesil Beach , if you hear when there's mackerel about give us a shout👍 Edited July 5, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 In Cornwall the mackerel is still too far out for spinning off the jetty . but the boats are catching plenty How about treating him to an hour mackerel fishing trip, they are about £15 here in Mevagissey so probably about the same where you are he should catch a lot of fish which will greatly focus his interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved to fish off the beach years ago and could put a bait out 100 yards plus, with old age now be more like 20🙄 Edited July 5, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be a journey for nothing if the mackerel start feeding and moving inshore on the first of the flood tide just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
