MACKEREL FISHING WITH LURES | CATCH & COOK | SMOKED MACKEREL

In this video, I head out to see if I can catch some mackerel to cook up later that day. I'd be using little metal jigs and some small soft plastics.
After a really fun session early one morning, where I'd also catch a surprise fish and see a passing dolphin, I cooked my catch in my new Ninja Woodfire oven.
This cook up was a simple but very tasty light lunch which went down a treat. I'd simply smoke the mackerel then load up a tasty sandwich!
Join me in this video to see how this session went and stick around for the cook up afterwards. Thanks for watching and see you on the next one 🎣

Great video mate, thanks for sharing. Living in Oklahoma we have awesome lakes, but my dream is to ocean fish like this. Liked and subscribed!

[@mitchellsteele3878]

Nice session there Cal and bonus bass 👍, another very enjoyable vid, many thanks, Mitch 👍

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thanks very much Mitch 👍🏼

[@dmp2000uk]

Great to see you back doing the catch n cooks. Love the cooking parts as much as the fishing part. That’s the beauty of sea fishing - it’s a pleasure in two parts. Keep including the cooking !

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Thank you mate. I love the cooking aspect of it but it would be a lot easier and better quality if someone else was filming 😂

[@Kernow84]

Thats why i love the old sink & draw method cal absolutely deadly cracking video as always boss 🎣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It’s always a killer 🎣

[@Scotland_my]

Top tip for smoking any fish is a quick cure. 50/50 salt and sugar seasoning then over night in the fridge uncovered on a wire rack. The dehumidifier in the fridge causes it to form a pellicle that the smoke sticks to. The smoker looks banging, looking forward to seeing what you stick in it. 👍🤤

[@georgeholmes6099]

As in like caster sugar?

[@Scotland_my]

@@georgeholmes6099 aye or granulated. Any sugar and salt works as long as it's 50/50 by weight not volume. 👍

[@Codeagles1]

I came here to say the same thing. I've started smoking dogfish just to make use of the nuisance fish. Cured for no more than 30 mins and oak smoked for 30 mins it's lovely. 😊

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@Scotland_my that’s the same way you make Gravelax. 50/50 salt and sugar, cured for 36 hours in an airtight tray.

[@Scotland_my]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL aye exactly, just without the green stuff. The pellicle is a game changer with the smoker though. It's like a natural glue for smoke flavour. 🤘

[@MauserGSY]

We've bought a big Ninja bbq smoker so will def give that a try.

[@cmdrskyrunner6122]

Great vid bud, thanks for the education. Your like my Attenborough for fishing.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Haha I definitely wouldn’t go that far but thanks!

[@jmfjmf2542]

Excellent vid, mate!

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@jmfjmf2542 thank you mate. I appreciate it!

[@user-it5dx6et4i]

Mackerel is one of my favourite fish to eat

[@paulbarry6451]

Great video as always....have you ever caught anything else on those metal lures ?

[@adrianbryant7342]

That's a nice way to serve up a mackerel yummy. I also take my hat off to you for saying you were going to dispatch your fish 😊 Nothing angers me more than people not dispatching there catch. And saw that dolphin just break the water right in front of you that's so cool. Once had a pair come right upto the side of a boat whilst out fishing then come up the other side, Magic 😊

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yes mate, over here they’re very common to see out on the boat. That’s the closest I’ve ever seen one from the shore though. Such a great sight to see!

[@fishypie]

hiya just subbed pal. i just love mackerel, best eating fish in the sea. went down newquey cornwall a few weeks ago, 2 hour boat trip 30 quid 11 anglers 5 mackys and i had 2 of, bloody hard work

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

That does sound like hard work mate! Nice you got a couple though. Would love to fish around Cornwall sometime soon. Great shore spots around there!

[@chosenone8454]

Great video Cal mackerel not arrived on beach here yet they are offshore in boats got out yesterday on beach mainly to try new rod Century graphex 9ft 6 and Shimano c5000 same as yours loaded with 1/3/1 braid was gobsmacked how it flew out there braid was expensive but so worth it

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Nice! I’ve not used the Century Graphex rods before, mainly because they’re pretty pricey right? Look like great rods though!

[@davidstorton910]

I do like your smoker

[@johnnybreedt3653]

That is a posh smoker!!!!!

[@paulhiggins8774]

Did you have to eat that in front of me I’m bloody starving now, I’ll be over tomorrow for the bass 🤣🤣

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

I ended up cooking the bass on the beach the next day. It was 👌🏼

[@TheGun311]

Fantastic video! I love the set up you're using what reel / rod combo is that, looks like one of those Shimano twin power c5000XHG ?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yes it’s a Twin Power 5000XG on a Shimano Technium 21-54g rod. Great piece of kit 👌🏼

[@robertgorycki3592]

dużo za mało radości, dużo za mało uśmiechu ale i tak jest spoko, wszystko sie da naprawić

[@karlstokes874]

My mouth is watering at that bun. Tasty tukka for sure

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It was pretty basic but still tasty 👌🏼

[@karlstokes874]

@@FISHINGWITHCAL basic maybe for you Cal.... I have trouble with our air fryer! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@EmoGamerMonkey]

Could you do the same with a 2 or 3 rig feather? Or would it be tangle central? Just thinking small weight at the end and if you it into one more likely to hit others? Or am I being stupid...new to this sort of fishing so any help is great. Cheers and they look bloody lovely to eat haha

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yes mate a lot of people tend to do that. You can either fish a small weight at the bottom or you could use something like a 40g Seeker. It’s an effective way of fishing especially in deeper water. In theory, the bigger lure at the bottom should tempt any larger fish that are chasing the mackerel.

[@user-st5tj8ws6o]

Good vid where about is this thanks

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@user-st5tj8ws6o it’s in guernsey.

[@peteleicester8941]

Does braid cast further out mate not had much luck

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

It all depends on your casting technique, reel size, rod, lure, etc etc. generally, yes. Braid is a lot thinner than mono therefore, it’ll peel off the spool much easier then casting mono and you’ll have much more contact with the lure. I’d fish with braid hands down over any mono!

[@garyneal1454]

Hi, what smoking pellets did you use? Many thanks, Gary.

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

When you buy the Ninja oven, it comes with two different flavours of chips. To be honest, it’s not an authentic way of smoking anything, it’s an easy way to do it. I used the standard ‘sweet’ blend which tastes like a sweet Smokey flavour. There’s not a lot of depth to it.

[@EddyYounes111]

What is the jig brand ?

[@EnemyLines.]

Majorcraft jigpara 20g

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

Yes mate, as said above.

[@JamesClien123]

Do you fish for a living or day job?

[@FISHINGWITHCAL]

@@JamesClien123 no, only for fun 🎣

[@NIKITATAKOKALIUK-cd3pg]

Where did you fished?

[@user-ye7sj7gm3f]

Plz tel me that you Didn't keep that second mackerel ??? That Bass was too small to be killing and keeping ! (it WAS NOT 42..... YOU STRETCHED IT BOTTOM TAIL-END, IT was barley even 37, YOU TOOK a Liberty !!!!!) In a year's time THAT could have been a real NICE fish for someone. I Just unsubscribed seeing this barbarity. Shame on YOUR GREEDINESS !
