EASY Mackerel Fishing - Catching and cooking the freshest fish on the shore

[@peterwebb1026]

So much to like about this video. Single hooks, so much better in my opinion. Catch and release, only taking what you’re going to eat 👍 then the cook up, from sea to plate. Yum 👍thanks for the video!

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Thanks for commenting Peter. Grilled fish on the beach is just the best. I’m sure there will be comments about handling mackerel before releasing them and that they don’t survive. In my opinion they have a better chance of surviving than being chapped on the head.

[@pauloneill9880]

Aye, chapped onthi heeed

[@mickmckay65]

It's Stevie Gerrard with a Scottish accent 😉 joking aside, great video, and well done putting the smaller ones back, too many people take those home and then complain when there's no fish about the year after.

Yes another angler with circle hook use on lures.Tops!!!

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

It’s the way to go John, even reduces snagging over rough ground. Thanks for commenting👍

[@michaelsrowland]

What are circle hooks?

[@johnmaggiorino4493]

@michaelsrowland If you might not know....they have a point that bends back towards shank of hook,thereby not hooking fish deep and have less chance of fish throwing hook because of its shape...circular in setting movement and unhooking movement

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Thanks for replying to the question John👍

Great method to catch them, nice filleting skills, I'm not brave enough to show my fillet attempts 🤣

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Thanks Phil, it was a fun day although had to search about for the fish.

[@boxu3353]

nice video,can u fishing mackerel all year round?

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

No mackerel are more of a summer fish, usually the better the weather there’s more of them

[@robbieallan6522]

Great video, I got out on a last minute session today just used limpets collected off the rocks met up with a friend and fished 2 hours b4 high tide to 1 hour passed and we both caught a wrasse and I was more happy for my m8 cuz he's fished with me a few times but today was the first time he hooked up. Also glad you don't believe the rumour that holding a mackerel will kill it shortly after release I've heard it but they would be floating around everywhere if that were true in a couple of places but aslong as you treat em like any fish you intend to release they should be A ok.

[@nicolarse-stubborn]

Mackerel dont float they sink so its unknown if the die as it cant be proven

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Cheers Robbie, great you got out with your mate and got something mate. Yeah I often wonder how those people know the mackerel don’t survive after being handled must put trackers on them😂

[@andrewwarburton3943]

Even more fun if you go lighter again. 3-12gr rod and a 7gr Mepps. Or my personal favourite my trusty fly rod. 😊

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Cheers Andrew, I bet there fun on the fly rod👌

[@leftmono1016]

Great video 😀👍 What do you look for in an ideal mackerel mark? I’m only able to fish off the rocks a couple of times per year and usually catch coalies, pollock and the odd wrasse. So my knowledge is very limited when it comes to sea fishing.

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Cheers buddy, access to some deeper water if possible but not always necessary. A bit of tidal flow can help.

[@leftmono1016]

Any chamce if you could do a video on how to rig the mackerel strips onto hook douglas ? Be hood of you could bud as im not sure how to do it Cheers

Great location,you lucky fella, my belly was rumbling while you were eating the mackerel, could you please tell me what size circle hooks you put on the lures.

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Cheers John, thanks for watching. I put size #2 but could probably get away with #1. I had to get small split rings as the eyes of the hooks are quite small. Tight lines👍

[@1Gillon]

Thats right by my house. Good little spot. Will maybe bump into you if you are round again. Also great video as always

[@fordtrac7171]

Does the tide effect mackerel in your experience ? Was this low tide in the vid .

[@PiscatorUK-Fishing]

Hello my friend. I’ve had mackerel at all states of the tide. On the video I started 2 hours on the incoming tide up to high water. In my experience I’ve had more fish on an incoming tide. Thanks for watching and commenting. Tight lines👍

Where is the location

[@nitram157]

Is that a 5000 size reel not heard of a 500 ?

[@josephbest6216]

500 is very small usually for ultralight such as stream trout fishing setups or dropshotting

[@josephbest6216]

Tbh I’d probably put a 1000 with that rod and lure setup but there’s a lot of overlap
