Spinning for Mackerel from the Pier | Sea Fishing UK

[@dixieboy5689]

We love fishing for Max in Eastport , Maine, USA. The town breakwater gives lots of space for fishing and relaxing. We use 4 or 6 hook Sakbiki type rigs. Shiny mylar wings, green bead. , red lashing at the eye of the hook. Max love it. A friend ties lots of these and will give them to the kids and out of towners. Come get one. Fish on !! Thanks.

Can you do much spinning/lure fishing from here in the winter?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I haven't tried lure fishing in the winter from the here. It's closed to the public at the minute because of the damage caused by the storm.

Hi bud what size rod do use my dad has big sea rods etc then a river rod got nothing in the middle

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi mate, I'm using a 10ft spinning rod.

[@dannyladd234]

Hi mate got a question if you have time to help just started spinning on pier last week, I've just bought new reel has 10lb mono on will it be safe to cast 60g lures if I use some 20lb mono leader the length of the rod ?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi mate yes that should be fine the rule of thumb is 10lb breaking strain for every 1oz of weight.

[@dannyladd234]

@@fishingintheukgarywood thought so mate do a lot of the beach but wasn't sure if was same with lures cheers for reply

[@paulbrannen8834]

When does the Mackerel season end in the north east?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

It depends on the weather and sea conditions but its usually some time In September

[@georgeholmes6099]

Hi great video! What is the setup including bait/hook/line/leader for mackerel? Cheers

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi thanks, the rig is a herring rig size 5 hooks , the lure is a 40g silver minnow, line is 25lb braid and the is leader 20lb amnesia.

Love the videos Gary, do you need to put some oil in your reel its very noisy.

[@andrewprice3369]

What was the rig was it Feathers than spinner on the end?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Yes, a couple of feathers with a spinner on the end.

[@ipaales7552]

Another cracking video marra ... do the mackerel hang about till August 🤔 cheers all the best 👍

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks mate, yes they usually stay for a while if the weather and the sea stays settled they can stay until September.

[@colinedwards3593]

Another good one Gary what the best time to go low tide or high tide or does it not matter

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Colin , I usually try to go a couple of hours before high water and fish the tide in then back out for an hour or two.

[@kevintodd6150]

Hi Gary. I tried the Leas this morning(3rd Aug) for the first time, but wasn't sure where to go! I parked just past the bus stop past The Bamburgh pub, walked down the path then turned right at the cliff top! I managed to scramble down the rocks and fished for 30 mins, but lost some gear, and there were no signs of any fish! High tide was 7.30 and I was there for 6.30. I ended up going to the pier for high water, but the gates were closed! Do they close them for a reason, as the last twice I've been there they've been closed? Actually, the Port of Tyne van drove through the gates, went to the pier end, told the anglers there ( who must have climbed around the gates) to move, then drove back again and closed the gates behind it. I travelled from Whitley Bay, and was disappointed that I couldn't get on the pier end !

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Seems like you were in there right area from the rocks I think this year has been a bit hit and miss from there. They normally only shut the gates and ask people to leave when they are doing work on the end of the pier and have the divers in the water doing the repairs. This time of year you can normally catch from the start of the pier over high water.

[@kevintodd6150]

Hi Gary, once again, thanks for your quick reply.There were half a dozen fishing at the start of the pier, but I couldn’t see any fish lying! My brother in law goes boat fishing and he says there are stacks of mackerel about and there are loads being caught off the rocks at Craster and most of them are a good size. He puts it down to the Avian flu epidemic.There are more sprats and bait fish as the bird numbers are down, resulting in more food for the mackerel. Having fished there today, I can appreciate how much time and trouble it must take to video your fishing antics, so it really is much appreciated 👍

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Kevin, hopefully you get some soon good luck 👍

[@prs32123]

@@kevintodd6150 Kevin the pier is locked every night but they don’t ask you to leave the pier they just warn you they’re locking it,and if you don’t go off with them you need to make your own way off around the gates.i do a fair bit of night fishing on there and during winter time the gates are normally locked when I turn up.

[@kevintodd6150]

@@prs32123 Thanks for your message.I can’t understand that if they allow you to fish when the gates are closed, then why would they close the gates sometimes? When the port of Tyne authority van went to the end of the pier they obviously told the anglers to come off, as before long, half a dozen lads ( some with bikes), made their way to the gate, where they proceeded to climb around, as the driver had locked the gates after she had drove through.Most strange 🤔🤔🤔

[@pauljohnsontwonoviceangler6170]

We enjoyed that. Are there many snags in that area? We assume that was at high tide?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Paul, yes its quite snaggy close in to the pier all the way along with rocks and weed. Yes it was over high water.

[@germckevitt4427]

Is that a mackerel lure on the end of some feathers?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Yes its a silver minnow.

[@garrymatthews8262]

Mint videos mate, what weather conditions is best for fishing for mackerel? And what time of day is best mate?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks mate, settled conditions are usually best along with a high tide at first and last light.

[@MRAJW100]

Are you best fishing when the tides coming in or going out?

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

I usually prefer to fish when the tides coming in.

Great fishing, new subscriber here in London, where about that pier? Cheers

Thanks, its in south shields.

Hi bud. is the end of the per still good to fish at low tide? thanks

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Hi I dont usually fish the end if the pier at low tide its usually better at high tide for the mackerel.

[@ianturner3033]

Canny session. As usual informative and enjoyable. Wonder how long the pier will be that empty. 🤔😄😀 Thanks, Take care and stay safe.😷🙊.

[@fishingintheukgarywood]

Thanks Ian, it was a little busier just before I got there most people left at high water. I think it will get a lot busier over the next couple of months. Take care mate.
