That Mackerel salad looks brilliant mate

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Cheers 👌🏻

[@davymass9216]

U know what u r at in the kitchen aswell good video mate

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks mate.

[@teamthorak]

lovely catch and cook, wish we had some action here

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Apart from a few mackerel there’s not much else being caught here at the moment either from the shore. Hopefully it picks up for you soon. Cheers.

[@michaelmaher3213]

Two lovely mackies cal.i love the fight they put up.that meal you cooked up and put together looked amazing.well done cal.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks a lot Michael. Yeah we love a mackerel 💪🏻

[@stoney332]

Great session if theres a lot of mackerel about is there a good chance the bass are amongst them

[@timothyjohnston6314]

That was a delicious looking meal Cal. Perfect for summer. This Mrs does something similar with pickerel👍🇨🇦

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Cheers Timothy. When’s the wife starting her YT cooking channel?! We can trade recipes haha 👍🏼

[@timothyjohnston6314]

NICE Catch n cook Cal.. more of that please???

[@heartoftheseason3453]

That's a Top notch lookin Mackerel salad.. Nice vid Cal

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Cheers mate, the dressing makes it.

[@jackd8747]

"Nothing fancy..." Yikes, you make it look so simple Cal. Might give this a bang this week (if I catch some mackies after work tonight). Now where's that tahini........? Cheers buddy - good shout. Loving the catch n cook vids. Inspirational yo.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Na there’s nothing fancy about that mate, I keep it simple when cooking fish most of the time. You can get tahini from most supermarkets over here 👍🏼

[@jackd8747]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL yeah man, we have some but never used it like this. DEFINITELY giving that recipe a bang. Ever thought about a recipe channel or book even? The scoff you knock up in no time at all ticks all the healthy, appetising and even dare I say, alluring. I'm writing these down mate... Thanks again buddy!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@jackd8747 I’m not equipped to set up a cooking channel. It’s crossed my mind but it would take quite a lot to do it successfully. Fishing is easy to film with GoPros etc, a cooking channel would definitely need good cameras and someone else to film it. Never say never, but for now I’ll stick to the fishing.

[@jackd8747]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL Ah, that's a sod! You need a second. While there are catch n cook things out there a plenty, you have an edge man. What you do is a cut above (no smoke blown!) - seriously, I like what you do and there's a niche. Down with the never say never. I hope it comes off Cal. All the best mate

[@mickwalsh8136]

Great catch and cook cal,looked delicious, you need to give your mate smash some cooking lessons lol,he only knows how to boil and make wraps 🤣🤣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

😂 To be fair I think he's experimenting a little more now 👍🏼

[@waynestewart8740]

Brilliant as always cal..really enjoyed that

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

That’s good to hear mate, thanks a lot!

[@Dannykeenan1664]

Great job with the 40g jig. I had a few Mackerel last week in Devon, gonna try this recipe on my next visit. Cheers Cal.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Nice! Yeah give it a try mate. Mackerel Ceviche is also amazing 👌🏻

[@jamesduffy5019]

Love that recipe Chef!! Dressing very nice. All I need now is to catch some bloody fish!! Dragged myself out on Sunday first light to fish the tide up on a mark I like, 3 hrs not a sniff, not even a Pollock! The lack of fish now in around my area is so disappointing. Hope to be out on my boat soon so that should bring a few in I hope!! Thanks for the recipe Cal 👍

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks a lot mate! That’s a shame about your session. The fishing over here has been really bad lately too, although this time of year is always rubbish here. That’s why I've been on the mackerel a few times.

[@yvonnetresidder9171]

Brilliant Cal, that looked delicious. I wrote down the ingredients in the sauce. Sounds like something I don’t usually cook with, (anchovies). But I am interested to give it a go. Thank you.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks. Anchovies are great in things like dressings etc. They add a saltiness to the dressing without adding a fishy taste. Well worth trying.

[@PilzE.]

Pulled out three plump, sweet, Cornish mackerel on Friday evening, on an after work session with a workmate at St Agnes Head. First of the year, fresh mackerel is amazing!!! Definitely appreciate the mackies more after you sharing about them now being on the amber list, and no longer sustainable.

[@rjonnyg]

I caught 2 good Mackies at Penhale Corner Perranporth and the day before nearly landed a 10lb bass it jumped out the water before my eyes and spat the lure gutted

[@PilzE.]

@@rjonnyg We are living the dream, Brother! That 10lb bass was just a warm-up for the 12lb you're going to land this weekend!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Nice one mate! The first mackerel of the year are always exciting. Hopefully they’ll be many more to come, it’ll be interesting to hear what the mackerel fishing is like where you are this season. We'll see how it pans out over here.

[@PilzE.]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL No probs, Cal, trust me, my friend, you'll hear of EVERY single fish I catch this year!! 😁

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@PilzE. 😂👍🏼🎣

[@romanomorelli2831]

Nice video Cal i received my expanse LS. From Grant couple weeks ago just the right size for Irish bass 15/60gm i too amaze of the casting distance love it

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Nice! Yeah the distance you can cover with a longer rod and heavier lure it pretty crazy.

[@Banoffee-bs2oz]

This is definitely my next purchase, would you recommend using the 3500 slammer on this rod or a slightly larger reel like the 4500?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

I use the 3500 which will more than handle anything the Uk has to throw up.

[@TheGhs1]

Great vid 👍subscribed

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks mate 👍🏼

[@Seany596]

I finally broke my drought of getting blanks and caught a ton of pollock but the bass are just (for me) impossible to catch so I try and go back to your videos to do my homework about the sea bass 😁👍🏻🇮🇪

[@Seany596]

@Feckin Fishin Ireland

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Well done on the pollock 👍🏼 Sometimes it can be like that mate, if the bass aren’t there, then you aren’t going to catch them. If it makes you feel any better, the bass fishing over here lately has been terrible so I've not been out much. They'll show up soon though, hang in there 👍🏼

[@Seany596]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL cheers for the words of wisdom Cal they help a lot 👍🏻😁

[@abi1816]

how many lb braid are u using

[@patomalley1744]

Great video Cal, except for the olives that looked deliciously fresh, what is Tahini? 👍👍

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Cheers Pat 👍🏼 Not a fan of olives no? Tahini is made from ground sesame then you can add other things to it to spice it up a bit.

[@stevegleed5]

How far can you chuck a lure with the Samson bud?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

I've been meaning to get a rough guide to figure out the distance of a cast. The reel I'm using has a retrieve of 103cm per turn of the reel so I'll have to count the turns next time I'm out.

[@CoastalGardening]

👍👍

[@bennyhaslonghair]

My local beach is Folkestone and everyone seems to be catching mackerel. We got 1 in a few hours. 😅

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

That's how it goes sometimes isn’t it. If you’re there at the right time it can be great and other times you struggle to catch.

[@Y0utubeatlas_]

i want to buy a rod for fishing exactly like this what would be better (casting weight 10-35g 8 foot spinning) or (casting weight 15 - 40 9 foot spinning)

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It depends what you’ll be using it for mate. I use a 9ft rod for my bass fishing at the moment which is rated 7-35g. Most of the lures I use are between 15g and 30g so it works for me. I have 8ft rods which i really like too. To be honest, either of the rods you mentioned will be ideal for lure fishing. You can still ping out a 40g metal on a rod rated to 30/35g, you just have to be a little careful. A longer rod will get you a little further cast too.

[@henrydunne3051]

I'm glad someones having luck at doyle 🤣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

I've still not tried doyle yet. It's hit and miss there.

[@henrydunne3051]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL I've tried all around that area and not had anything, could just be unlucky but I feel like its not as good as a few years ago

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@henrydunne3051 Yeah you’re right mate, it's not. Some days it can be awesome, but those days are a lot rarer then they used to be. Can just be right time right place sometimes. Doyle was rubbish for mackerel last year.

[@williecosgrove]

4'25 you should cut its gills and bleed it ,makes for better eating

[@PilzE.]

Mackerel are the one fish we never really bother bleeding, but each to his own.

How about next time doing a catch and cook Bass will increase your viewing.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yeah I’ve done a few C&C’s with bass before but I don’t keep many bass so that’s the reason. I’ll do another one throughout the summer at some point though 👍🏼
