MACKEREL FISHING AT EASTBOURNE MARINA ROCK ARM USING LURES, FEATHERS AND FLOATS (UK SEA FISHING)

So I had a day off work and decided to head down to Eastbourne marina Rock arm for a fish and to try catch some mackerel.
Armed with two telescopic rods one on a lure and the other set up for float fishing.
The wind was in the east but is the saying true!?

Nice one I didn't even know those rocks were there live in Polegate but always fished seaford and Pevensey. Its so draining when you just only catch one. Took the family down to Tide Mills in that heatwave a couple weeks ago hoping to avoid busy beach so I could fish but still busy and no one else fishing, I went for it anyway and bang first cast a decent mackerel felt like a genius for being the only one fishing providing for the family......5 hours later nothing but sunburn and a sore shoulder.

It's hard work sometimes Some days it looks ace on paper you get there and it all changes lol

[@ionutoncescu]

went to seaford todays evening and yesterday evening, mackerel was crazy couldnt take to much coz im on a motorcycle, but yet so fun and the fresh fish its delicious especialy cought by me on a 6ft 6 piece rod so i can fit in my backpack 😀

Hey mate good video. Weather was not on your side . I'm always float fishing great fun caught plenty . It's all about covering your depth . Rough ground with lots of kelp is a good place to start float fishing for pollock and wrass. What I do is cover my depth so example . Start at 6ft if nothing keep lowering it a foot at a time as soon as you find the right depth it's ding dong. My favourite bait for float is. Lugworm/ fresh makrel . Can't wait to see more .thanks good fishing

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks for the advice I will deffo put it into action on the next session I try :)

[@danharvey7717]

Good vid thanks. Always the way eh, perfect for fishing, tide, weather, wind, day-off and the buggers don’t want to play!! Still a good watch with commentary thanks. Tight lines.

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

[@paullowther8729]

[@fishingwithtednfamily]

Not good conditions for mackerel! One mackerel is enough to fish for hours -it's very tough bait and you should get 20 strips easily from one fish. The best day floating I had was on the East pier at Newhaven. I had 55 mackerel and 24 GARFISH. (Not counting the fish I lost) It literally never stopped. Sadly I doubt those days will return. Good video and keep at it - try when it's calmer. 😊

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks I think I will take on board your advice head for the inner wall on a calmer day :)

[@nicholascavie2464]

Nice try Jason u need 2 fish 10/ 12 feet under float for garfish when mackerel are running but of course u need mackerel whent and fished marina midweek useing chicken gut as bait got some good sized bream .Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Would love to catch a garfish I think it will have to be a mission of mine soon :)

[@ianturner3033]

Hi. Same as wicked tuna, but I fish off a pier, over sandy ground, for mackerel. I start at 5ft and alter the depth till I find the fish. I also use an adjustable cork rig in the choppy weather or fast tides. The guy catching next to you with the longer rod, I assume using lift and drop method, will have been covering more of the water depth than you on a shorter rod. Maybe if the sea seemed a bit choppy, I would have tried the other side of the rock arm to see if it was a bit more sheltered and calm. Bait wise, I generally cut longish triangles off the thin silver belly, hook it twice at the thick end, and leave the pointed end to flap in the tide to try resemble a bait fish. The silver belly is easier for the mackerel to see as it flashes in the sunlight. Just like the bait fish it is chasing. Sometimes I just use a lead to hold bottom with a set of hockais with mackerel bait on some of the hooks. These are just my opinions. 🤔 If I can be of anymore help, feel free to ask. Loving the channel♥️. Thanks for sharing.👍👏 Take care and stay safe. 😷🙊

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks for taking time to share your advice I will deffo try the tips you have suggested. Thanks so much :)

[@TheAnglerDad]

Love the videos! Recently been to filey beach east Yorkshire and seen a few people fishing, looks so much fun. I'm just wondering where can I get the telescopic rods from? I tend to use ultralight on canals but want to give sea fishing a go 😁

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

The one I got was from Southern Angling Specialists tackle shop in Chichester :)

[@TheAnglerDad]

@@TheEastbourneFisherman thanks for the reply mate, can't seem to see it on there website. Could you tell me the brand? Thanks 👌

[@aggassixiaomi935]

I have been there twice this month and there is no fish there. Only catched 2 macrells from the beach 🏖️. Seaford is full of fish. Go there. Good luck.

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks mate :)

[@paultaylor5750]

This is best spot mate, you should definitely fish the other side, it's much flatter conditions and I personally do all my fishing the harbour side, Just be respectful of in and out going boats. ( always a idiot that comes far to close whilst your fishing so be prepared to quick retrieve) Bass always on the harbour side . Floating better on other side but it's difficult due to high current.

[@TheEastbourneFisherman]

Thanks mate I will try the harbour side it does make more sense to fish the calmer side also the second rock arm Pevensey side is good too :)
