2023 Mackerel Bashing

The Mackerel are back which means free bait for the creels. Barry heads out before dawn to catch some mackerel before pulling the four sets of wooden creels in the Norwegic sector and shooting them inshore.
Also there was a quick repair to a flag end that had been run down and the rope was cut.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hello John. Thank you so much for your kind words, sir. We are so glad that not only you have enjoyed our vlog, but you love the direction that OMAHB is heading in. We can't thank you enough for your wonderful support. Have a great weekend ahead. All the very best.😍😁👌

Wow the accent takes me back Barry to working in Leith in my twenties and one of very few surfers that called Pease Bay their home break. Now in my seventies and calling OZ my home I I still remember catching Mackerel with my old man on feathers and a sinker with a hand line, Great footage.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Doug. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for sharing some of your memories of mackerel bashing and surfing. I do hope that you like what you see and have a little return visit to our channel to see what the next adventure is up next for the Lynsey B.😍😁👌 All the very best.😊

Hi Paul. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this accurate comment. The government has never cared about the working man throughout history. They got rid of the ship builders, the coal miners, and the steel workers. Fishermen are just next on their hit list, unfortunately 😞😞😞 We hope you enjoyed the vlog all the same.

[@dennisking1555]

I used to love fishing for mackerel in the 1970s it was magical, Blue shark fishing waters on the see front in Rhyl north wales I was in my teens and couldn’t wait for the holidays,we were from Coventry Hard work on a trace of six, They were much bigger then ,it’s nice to see it still off the line My last trip was with my youngest son in colwyn bay 2005, we would venture out off the coast near Llandudno the great Orme and bout 6hr trip memorable experience he loved it ,that day I spent most of the time untangling his fishing lines lol

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Dennis. Thank you very much for this wonderful comment. We love to hear how OMAHB kick starts the memories of such wonderful times.😁👌 That's always the worst about a 6 trace line, the tangle 🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣 All the very best.😁

Thank you, bud. All credit for this vlog must go to the wonderful Jeff Carter. This man works so hard bringing quality vlogs like this.😍😁👌 Yeah, I was shocked and took a wee minute to figure out how we got into this situation and how to solve it.🤣🤣🤣 It's nice to see the mackerel running. It's far cheaper and fresher pot bait than the frozen stuff we have to pay over the odds for. Plus...it's blooming fun.🎣🎣🎣😍😍😁👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hope you have a great weekend, bud. All the best.😊

Chap on Anglesey showed me how to quickly despatch mackerel, I expect you do similar. Index finger into the mouth, pad upwards, to the back of the head, thumb on top of the back of the head, quick twist upwards to snap the spine. Love a bit of mackerel and great sport on really light tackle.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi John. Thank you so much for your comment. There's also the knife at the back of the skull and draw it forward method, very barbaric, but does the job just the same. I must admit, I prefer the way you described it. It's far quicker and less messy.😁👌 Mackerelling is such fun when they are running. We love this time of year.🎣🐟😁👌 All the best. 😊

[@shaunjones6049]

1975 , When I was 9 yrs old my dad took us fishing , out of Lyme Regis, on a 2hr mackerel charter boat trip we were fishing with hand lines . I never forgot the magic of that bump bump bump when I caught my first Mackerel. It was a Tuna in my mind . A gift from the sea. I always tell my kids, fishing is like Christmas, You never know what you will get.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Shaun. Yes, there's nothing quite like that 1 St hit from the mackerel. I really love this time of year, mostly because they are tuna sized.😉👍🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't worry, you're nothing the only one, to think that😉👍🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and sharing your fond memories of your experiences.

Hi Barry. I just binge watch everything you posted. Took 3 days lol. Can i make a suggestion. When out at sea it would be nice to listen to you talking and just to hear the sounds of the sea and all the other sounds on the boat. Its way better than that music playing... Don't know if other ppl have the same views ? Just a thought. I have subscribed and keep the videos coming. Absolutely brilliant watch 👍

[@MacLeanComms]

@elmerfud44 - this is Jeff Carter (OMAHB Cameraman / Editor / Producer). First of all thank you for subscribing to the channel and taking the time to binge watch the videos. On your suggestion, as Barry says we do take all views into consideration. Sometimes we need the music to cover up the howling wind, the blank spaces in between chats and to put underneath the drone footage. However the latest few vlogs I have edited I have left some of the sequences without music as the ambient noise from the sea-birds etc has been good (plus Barry has been very chatty - more than usual). So please bear with us, we will have some sequences with music and others without. Thanks again for your support :)

The government need to but out of everything, but we all need to get together to make it happen!

[@onemanandhisboat]

Oh for sure Andy. I've said it before, I would trust the government to manage a sweetie shop in the middle of a playground. About time they started they done some good to this country, instead of take,take ,take attitude....but that will never happen, it doesn't matter whose in the hot seat....they all end up the same eventually 😔

Cygnus 21 lovely build I have worked on bigger versions always decked in and a bit rolley poley always with a wheel house what speed does yours do seems to clip along well. Great video's

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi there, Clevelander. Thank you very much indeed for your kind comment. I've worked on a GM33, 2 infact. And we used to own a GM32 before the idea of the Lynsey B came about. Great sea boats, but like you say, very rolley Poley! Can't beat the Cygnus roll🤣🤣🤣🤣 She does 5.5knots at 1700 rpm. Obviously, she can do more, but being a displacement Hull, she will always be limited on speed. But what she lacks in speed, she makes up in sea keeping. She is the BEST boat I've ever had the pleasure to sail/ work on, for her size😁👌 Hope you keep with us, bud. All the very best.😊

I've been getting loads full of tape worm n eggs

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Gary. Ooooo, that's not a good sign that! With the tape worm.🫣😬😬😬 But the eggs are definitely the way forward. Happy fishing 🎣🐟😁👌

[@jamesclose5862]

I know I asked before did you catch the people messing with your pots ?.

[@robertwilson2007]

Atlantic and Atka mackerel from Alaska are high in inflammation-fighting omega-3s and low in mercury, but not all mackerel get a thumbs-up. King mackerel, from the Western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, has a high mercury content. Zumpano suggests limiting Spanish mackerel as well due to mercury concerns.

Thank you, Jackie. Yes, I hurt it a few weeks back lifting these stupid steel pots, and it's been giving me jip ever since....mind you, its my own fault, I'm not as young as my mind thinks I am.🤣🤣🤣🤣😁👌 I'm sure it will heal over time.🤞🙏😁👌 We hope you're keeping well? Much love and hugs.xxx

[@ringstinga]

Love the area up there ! Do you still get motorhomes in the car park above the harbour ?

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Jim Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated, mate. Motorhomes are everywhere at the harbour just now. We can't even get parked to get to work in the mornings.🤣🤣🤣 I wish ELC ( East Lothian Council) would be more accommodating for motor homes. After all, they do bring tourism to the area.🤷‍♂️😁👌 And maybe the lads and I could get to work in the mornings🤣🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy the rest of your evening bud. All the best.😊

[@seawench555]

So did u lose all ur pots when the line was cut, could a boat propeller have cut it.?🌈😲 great channel.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Sea wench. Thank you for your comment. No, I didn't lose my pots, as we have 2 ends on our fleets/ strings. It was just a matter of going to the other end and hauling from there. If it was in a prop, the rope itself would be all twisted before and after the cut.😁👌 I hope that answers your question. All the best.😊

[@ianstokes3282]

Great Both informative & realaxing to view is it essential to go boat fishing for Mackeral to increase your chances ? As I’ve never caught any off Chesil beach in Dorset or Ilfracombe pier North Devon ? and exactly how far out and deep is 14 Fathoms ? Would be great to know that keep making the videos looking forward to the next buddy 👍🏻

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Ian. Thank you very much for your interesting questions. No, you don't need a boat to increase your chances, especially if you have a long pier. It really all depends on your area and how the shoals are moving through that area. Ask a local fishermen, they can give you a better idea of where and when best to fish. Fathoms is basically half in meters. So 14 fathom is 28 meters. It's the way fishermen have always measured. For us, 14 Fathoms is about 1.5 to 2 miles out, depending if we are east or west of the harbour. I hope these are the answers you're looking for. All the best.😁

[@garry9999]

Jusy joined yer vlogs, how the hell do you make ends meet. It looks very frustrating having to put the smaller ones back, but I can see why, food for the future. All the same wouldn't mind having a go myself, those Mackerel looked tasty.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Garry. It's a struggle at times to make ends meet. But every fisherman and their families go through this year in, year out. Oh you're right shout the mackerel. 😍😁👌 We hope you enjoy the channel. All the best.😊

[@RobCardIV]

can unlimited ammounts of men n women go to sea and farm until gone? i dont understand it myself either.but i sure subscribed mate. thank ya very much for sharing the adverntures.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Rob Thank you very much indeed for the comment and support by subscribing 😍😁👌 For the UK, at least we hardly have a fishing industry now, all thanks from poor management responsibilities from our government. They would rather sail sustainable small business under the bridge and increase industrial fishing (ships) and you can tell their plan due to the ridiculous regulations of small business are having to suffer, because of there greed....but as far as my comments go, this is world wide🫣🙈 All the best 😊

[@Fishhunter0]

Put a short up to film to show the weekend warriors how to get through the bouys/flags /buffs whatever you lads call the floats 🤣 not always easy to negotiate when some lads don't sink the rope. teach people how to look for both ends . So they can work out what direction the strings/fleets are running. ps what's happening with the orkney

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Lee. Thank you for the wonderful comment and idea for a vlog. You are absolutely right ✅️, it is VERY hard for folks to dodge ends, especially at this time of year. After all, it's about everyone enjoying the water, not just the fishermen. 😁👌 A vlog to teach how to negotiate flag ends would be absolutely perfect and helpful. Thank you so much for the great suggestion ☺️ Keep up watching and passing on these wonderful ideas for vlogs. They are critical in the future for OMAHB. We hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. All the very best.😊

See lots of undersize lobsters....don't see many "poos" though. Does anyone fish up by the Tyne & Tyningham.?

Hi Bob Plenty of wee ones mate, and the poos are kinda taking off now, so hopefully see some more lobsters soon.😍😁👌 Yeah, there gear EVERYWHERE!...it's absolutely disgusting 🫣 Only going to hurt themselves long term....but you can't teach stupid bud.🤷‍♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hope you're both keeping well Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@dunureman]

Hi I seen your video about making scupper covers from stainless but I see you have changed your mind with them. Was there a reason for it? Ave just bought a boat with scuppers and was looking for ideas for covers.

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Craig. Thank you very much for your comment and question. It was more to do with the dreaded MCA route. The basics answer to your question are the scupper covers I have now, will let more bulk water out ( not that a 21ft boat will be out in conditions to get bulk water🙄🙄🙄🙄) Where as the stainless cover would only let out inches of water out per scupper, if that makes sense? So, as nice looking, and probably better for keeping water out a small vessel, in the MCA's eyes, they are no good.....but! That was just my vessel, I'm sure you know how the MCA work by now, with the inshore sector ( they DON'T!😡😡😡) I hope your boat will be different. 🤞🙏😁👌 I hope that answers your question, bud. Any more, just fire away. All the best.😉👍

[@dunureman]

@@onemanandhisboat Thanks very much for replying. Yeah that’s makes sense you need to keep yourself right. Ave bought a 27ft boat purely for pleasure so I don’t have to worry about MCA. I think I’ll go with the stainless option because I think it looks better. Thanks again for replying and your help. All the best buddy👍

[@onemanandhisboat]

did you loose ya pots after the rope cutting

[@onemanandhisboat]

Hi Peter. No, I didn't lose my pots, we have 2 ends on our fleets/ strings. It's just a matter of going to the other end and hauling from there, then sort it out in the right direction when you get to the end of that fleet.😁👌 Thank you so much for your comment 😊 Enjoy your weekend All the best 😊

Hi Richard. Thank you kindly for your comment. As long as I get to the mackerel before the predators do, then that's all my worries taken away for the day, but I'm sure with all things at the Sea, not every day is guaranteed 😁👌 Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening. All the best.😊
