Was at Roker pier on Monday and had a good bag of decent sized Mackerel. Hoping to go back on Friday. Thanks for the great vidios.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Well done. Thanks mate 👍

[@garyshears1947]

Great video Gary. That's how mackerel fishing should be done 👍

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Gary 👍

[@robbeard6929]

Love it, I wish it was summer again, sick of all this shit weather now, Spring is nice though, and colourful.

[@ajdexter4195]

I like the fact you dispatched the injured one, mackerel usually don't make it after being handled anyway, we usually take 4 or 5 but some people take 20-30 plus which is far to many and they won't get eaten, such a waste and ruins it for everyone else!!!

[@Adam_Outdoors]

That's a complete myth regarding them dying after being handled. Studies and tsts have been done and proved it wrong.

[@liamthewisey9486]

Was out Thursday still not a sniff of Mackerel up north east Scotland. Cupple good sized coley and pollock tho!

[@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony]

[@twinz0wn4]

One mackrel are in, are they able to get caught from the beach straight away or does it take awhile longer for them to come in this close?. Caught over 50 up amble on Saturday

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I usually leave it until they are fully in before I start getting them from the beach.

I tried this a while back but unfortunately my rod feel in and now my reel has had it.

[@davidbooth1100]

Great down there Gary, don't they die after been in contact with the warm hand..?.. keep them comin m8. Davey.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Some people say they do some people say they don't i was wetting my hands before taking them off the hook hoping that was helping.

[@twinz0wn4]

How deep was the water? Did not know they'd come so close in

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

2 to 3 foot..... I think they only come that close in when the light starts to drop.

[@nicholascavie2464]

Good video cobber brings back memories when i fished Hastings beaches and old pier in my teens do you ever fish for garfish ? Good fun on light gear, good eating green bones put people off. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick

Thanks Nick, I havent managed to catch a garfish yet its been on my fish list for ages now but they keep managing to evade my hooks.

[@matkapsabri1087]

Hi gary I am a first time fishing in the UK which is the best fishing rods and feathers for mackerel or do u sell fishing kit I live in Whitley bay cheers

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi, I dont sell fishing kits sorry. If you go to the local fishing tackle shop they will be able to advise you on the best rod for your budget and usually have a good selection of mackerel feathers.

[@stevewillshere1161]

Get daylights feathers best there is in my opinion🙂

[@byrobills1826]

What’s the rod and reel thinking about using spoons and hogs off the shore

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Both diawa bg. rod is bg spin902ML reel is a 3000

[@phildean8797]

I love just off the groyn. How close to the main pier were you? The mackerel shoals are massive this year.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Roughly in the middle of the beach Phil.

[@phildean8797]

Any sign of the herring. They’ve been busy as well. The Kit Kat ship on ocean road is struggling to keep up with demand. - great problem to have at the moment.

Thanks 👍 tight lines.

[@richardsales6996]

Garry just a short question is there enough water on that beach you were fishing off at low water 5.1m tide same question for the first gate on ss pier pls

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

The beach is fine to fish at low water but i think it will be to shallow at the fist gate because of the rocks at the base of the pier.

[@richardsales6996]

The thing is that i want to fish tomorrow morning at 0730 ish but low water isn't till 1030 ish in a 5.1m tide

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Ah right im not sure i don't normally fish the tide out from either the beach or the first gate. If i had to pic tho I would fish the tide out from the beach.

[@richardsales6996]

When you fished the beach the other day was that from low to high yes

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Yes from low to high.

[@nufckyle1477]

Can you catch mackerel through the night or is it just day time mate?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I have caught the odd one or two through the night but that was on bait that i was using to target other fish mate.

[@stevecoppin4278]

hi do you ever fish around the blyth area which is my neck of the woods

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi Steve, I dont normally fish around blyth. Only fished off blyth pier once about 4 years ago.

[@stevecoppin4278]

@@fishingintheukgarywood thanks for the reply can you recommend anywhere in your neck of the woods to fish with easy access as i've had both knee's replaced and long walks is not an option

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

No problem Steve, the first part of south shileds pier fishes well a couple of hours before and after high water just after the brigade hut upto the first gate and is close to the carpark. The walkway has been fishing well for herring at last light park at the side of the yacht club and its just round the corner. Milldam opposite the customs House fishes well for flattys at night you can park close to the water. Hebburn Riverside near the boat club is canny fishing from the corner between the boats and just along from there is the second carpark where you can fish out of your car a couple of hours before and after high water. Pans Bank in Sunderland is canny because you can park right near the water and fish out of your car. If I think of anymore places I'll let you know.

I don't think it matters there what tide i think its more so first and last light.

Great fishing mate just a reminder Mackerel will die after you touch them, if you can, release them by shaking them off the hook.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks mate ill remember that for the next time.
