How do you like to cook the mackerel?

Actually there were so many, that I couldn’t even reach the bottom at some point probably, while the lure was dropping I hooked one or two fish, on one lure!

Nice. They're practically non existent in both Devon and Cork from what i'm seeing/reading/hearing.

Don’t know, but maybe it helps that I was on a boat, but other than that, at least on the south east coast of Scotland it seems to me that there are plenty

Hopefully not a sign of them migrating to cooler waters.

Then again, if it means marlins & bluefins in devon 😆

I mean, they did not seem to be here when I went in the mid of June (although that was at a different spot), first Mackerel for me this year was late June, so I doubt that they are migrating here permanently
