Down on the south coast in England I caught 52 mackeral in a space of 3 hours :)

@CaptainClungee You don't get mackerel on the south coast of England. They take herrings from the North Sea, spray paint them and release them from places like Penzance and the Isle of Wight. Taste them and you'll see.

@Polyfooka You do get mackerel on the south coast you mug.

@xLampy Next time you catch a "mackerel" give it a good rub with your thumb. When they can't find herring, they use big sprats.

aught 15 off buncrana pier last night. There was literally hundreds of mackerel swimming just beneath the surface chasing all the sprats.

@hachano24 Ah, Buncrana. That's one place where not just the fishing, but also the craic is always mighty!

that looks like great fun!

@Polyfooka Yes you do if you don't believe me go down to Seaford on the south coast near Brighton and fish at high tide of the beach and I can guarantee you will catch at least 5. Just use mackerel feathers and a beach caster rod.

@spartan111andre yes but he can probably catch ones much bigger than you can so..
