Mr. Graeme Pullen, I might not met nor know you in person, me and the wife has started fishing (specially Surf fishing) since we move to Florida. We thank you for this youtube advise about fishing. We watch almost all your episode. You the Man! Totally Awesome!!!!
better to just insert a knife behind the head, if you interrupt the spine and cut downward, both blood flow and all vital functions through the spine get completely interrupted.. much more humane than almost any method, instant, and bleeds the fish as well.. best way of preserving meat.. get that fish on ice and you will be happy...
They have Spanish King 👑 mackerel of the florida Coast that are 7 times bigger than our UK 🇬🇧 mackerel, guy called Yak " fishes on TH-cam for them over you're way. Great show aswell as this one 1⃣
This video couldn't have come at a better time, I'm heading out on a charter boat in a couple of weeks to jig for mackerel for the first time, your advice and tips will really help me to not look like a complete beginner lol, thanks again Thumbs up great vids.
Growing up back in Rhode Island it was possible for two guys on a small boat to land 400 pounds an hour late March early April. I've seen the schools 20 feet thick under the boat. But here in Virginia... they're so few and far in between it's not even worth looking for them. One of the best baits out there and fine table fare fresh, smoked or canned. Thanks for the vid. You took me back for a little while.
I love mackerel fishing. Got hooked fishing for them off Sandown Pier in the Isle of Wight several years ago when I first started fishing catching 5 at a time on multi hook feathers. Super fast and furious fun.
Them first few Joey's you reeled in would have made a great live bait for the bass! It works well for us here in wales and always has. Great videos with a no nonsense approach Graeme and Mike always keep them coming. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Macks are a great gamefish in their own right.They hang around the West End of the Cape Cod Canal most summers until late fall and are prime bait for large striped bass. When the bass are sated,and fishing for them gets tough,macks will take a streamer on a fly rod or a slender spoon like lure on fixed spool.They fight harder than most inland trout. The late great Frank Woolner wrote about this angling,freshwater tackle in saltwater is a delight!
I was on a trip last year, and we were in a huge school of mackerel. They're fun to catch, but not the best eating. We primarily use mackerel as bait for bluefish and stripers.
We actually do the exact same thing here on the west coast of the United States. Here in southern California we have such an abundance of Pacific chub mackerel that we can catch them off of the pier day and night from spring to fall. In the winter I think they head south to warmer waters. Though don't quote that. I have heard conflicting information on that subject without any confirmation either way.
Like that...."use what you want for bait or eat lets not be greedy"....had 6 lines out on the go and bucket of mackerel. They are commercial fished to extinction anyway. I could fish all day and get blanks or handful. I tend stop after 5 max anyway in one day.. harder each year
what you were saying about handling the fish with a cloth you should handle witing with a wet cloth or you can scold them thats how many witing are found laying on the shore after releasing them.Atb.
I have to agree, mackerel is one of my favorite fish!!!! Pickled, stewed, salted and pan fried, water cooked, steamed, any way way you dish it, I'll eat it!!!
Here I KSA we usually catch trevally and a different species of mackerel and they only go for small sized sabiki feathers. I was wondering if u could make a video on how to make some
Great tips, very entertaining you loon, was you related to Bruce Forsyth? I’ve just got back into fishing after an 8yr break. You and mike have been a breath of fresh air, hrs of entertainment, name says it all ‘Totally Awesome’. 👍🏻
all my skipper knew was how to drive a boat he did not know a thing on fishing he even wanted use to jig our feathers up and down as much as we can. he was so bad at fishing LOL. at least your a good fisherman and knows what he is doing keep up the vids
how can we get a hold of those mak feathers you have?....and what size hooks on there?...or could you make a video showing us the materials to make our own just like the feathers on yours...would seem if you got that from a commercial mak fisher it would be what i would want...thank you love your vids ,you your family and friends do a great job making the vids always entertaining.
Hey grahame go down to chisel beach I and my dad had 100 Mackrell go down fish from 2 hours before sunset then fish all the way to dark silver feathers of beach 3/4 fish every cast
Thanks for your reply love your vids,I just started sea fishing and bought a mackerel feathers set, do I keep the little green balls on the line that comes with it. Thanks.
Jan. 1974 …...with gurdies, 3lb leads & 24 x plastic tube @ 15" intervals we (4 hands) had 802 stone of max off Lizard & next day Looe pals had 1380 stone (160 stone = one ton!) all 'shaken' not stripped. Beat that! (We WERE hungry pro. fishers though not dizzy danglers..... fishing for the fresh market & getting 40 pence per stone on a good day!!!)
Do you use fish finder? And also did you hold the boat in one place or you let the boat to drift? Great video !!! Need some tips in few weeks thinking to go with my rib boat to the sea fishing any tips would be great!?
Amazing video Graham 👍 I am trying to learn so much from you & Mick, Thank you so much for all the video's ☺ (I am wanting to start fishing & hope to get my son interested) you are an insperation to me, please keep up all the great work, any advice on pond fishing?
For me, mackerel are EXTREMELY easy to catch. All I need to do is chum the water with mackerel carcasses (the guts, heads, and spines), put a little piece of a mackerel fillet on a size 1 J-hook, drop it in the water, and my dad and I will be catching them like nobody's business! However, it might work differently for other people.
I know right!! I fish in long beach harbor and I cast lures most of the time, or a bait holder hook with a slice of mackerel, or even some sabiki. I throw rapala husky jerk, rapala x-rap and yo-zuri. or a small 1oz freestyle jig that i yo-yo.
The cheapest and best tackel to fish mackrel. Just use BLACK hooks. All You need. Make youre own. Take a trash bag over your fish Box. And make a smal Hole in the bag. When You Get a fish. Put them down the Hole. Then You dont Get any blod in the boat if they are kicking Around With the tail.

where can I buy these hook feathers ?
Get them online mate ✌
@@raripaintt7298 online or a fishing shop

Yo that tip on unhooking fish was awesome thank you
A true master angler. Incredible knowledge and understanding of all things fishing.
Awesome advise, respect from Southern California.
Brilliant video thank you! Saved me a lot of time trying to figure out what to do!

Great video... but this Canadian girl was wondering just what is a feather that they use in fishing for mackerel? Yeah now I know!! Thanks!!
I was on a trip last year, and we were in a huge school of mackerel. They're fun to catch, but not the best eating. We primarily use mackerel as bait for bluefish and stripers.
They do make a good livebait for many predators.
I’ve had one of the biggest trouble hooks they make hooked in the inside of my thumb

In the winter I think they head south to warmer waters. Though don't quote that. I have heard conflicting information on that subject without any confirmation either way.
I should have said that we also use much lighter gear here.
Great information 👍😊 can't wait to try a go at it.
What about catching makeral from a pier? Like here in Portsmouth
Jack Beames you can use spinners or mackerel lures
for anybody in Britain you may want to try south shields pier for mackerel in summer it can be really good as the pier is a mile long
+Tyler Robb Roker pier was good this year, less snaggy too :-)
Brilliant tips. Thanks.

Ireland haven't had a decent season in two or three years it's supposed to be decent this season though
Pirks make a good weight for extra attraction and its an extra hook.
I use a 30 gr Dexter wedge and caught a bonus 3 1/2 pound Pollock on the Dexter last year
Hi Graham,
If possible can you do a video to show us how to tie mackerel feathers to your main line. It's something i just can't find anywhere !!!
Sir may i ask if you dont mind .which months is the best for catching mackarel.thanks
what you were saying about handling the fish with a cloth you should handle witing with a wet cloth or you can scold them thats how many witing are found laying on the shore after releasing them.Atb.
Does it really matter if you're taking them back?
How can u fish .comfortably with all those rods in your way lol...there's a rod in every rod holder lol geez
I have to agree, mackerel is one of my favorite fish!!!! Pickled, stewed, salted and pan fried, water cooked, steamed, any way way you dish it, I'll eat it!!!
My greatest catch was 336 mackerel and herring (about 300 macks) aboard The Explorer from Sheepshead Bay
Do you think a 12.6 ft bass rod that casts between 1 and 4 ounce would be ok for feathering for mackerel and lure fishing for bass graeme ?
Sounds OK.You definitely don't want anything too heavy.
Do you have a video on how to tie the feathers?
Here I KSA we usually catch trevally and a different species of mackerel and they only go for small sized sabiki feathers. I was wondering if u could make a video on how to make some
Thanks for safety advice , 4/0 through index finger no joke .
mackerel is one of my favorite fish to catch, great eating and great bait. also nice to get a full house on the feathers
where can I buy these hook feathers ?
@@raripaintt7298 tackle shop just ask for feathers or type them in on ebay
@@wetkneehouston6293 thank you I'll look into it, I'm located in Los Angeles I hope they are out here
Hey is the Indian Ocean makrealthe same with the Atlantic mackerel
Here in Japan we call it Saba
What was in the Chum bag? Is it really works to attract mackerel?
Mostly mashed up Rainbow trout mixed with bran,then frozen down.
@@TAFishing Thanks a lot for a good advise!
Great tips, very entertaining you loon, was you related to Bruce Forsyth? I’ve just got back into fishing after an 8yr break. You and mike have been a breath of fresh air, hrs of entertainment, name says it all ‘Totally Awesome’. 👍🏻
Quite interesting and very well explained. Thumbs up.
Question can I fish for mackerel from the shore?
Yes but it would work better from a pier
i use green black and sparckle there great catch me tons
Very useful info cheer's mate and repect from ireland 💚
At what weather temperature was this?
Please help someone ,do you put spinner attachments onto your mackerel feathers.
Not spinners,they would slow the retrieve up too much I reckon,mostly what they call "bar spoon" shape.
all my skipper knew was how to drive a boat he did not know a thing on fishing he even wanted use to jig our feathers up and down as much as we can. he was so bad at fishing LOL. at least your a good fisherman and knows what he is doing keep up the vids
Should you bait mackerel feathers
I catch them off peggyscove nova scotia with just a Devil spinner lure.
Another great video. Thanks. nice bucket of fish there in short time by the look of it. Can mackerel be caught off a pier?
yeah
What were the other rods catching ?
In Australia we use them as live baits..
how can we get a hold of those mak feathers you have?....and what size hooks on there?...or could you make a video showing us the materials to make our own just like the feathers on yours...would seem if you got that from a commercial mak fisher it would be what i would want...thank you love your vids ,you your family and friends do a great job making the vids always entertaining.
That vid is on Paul Adams channel is called coffee mackerel feathers or something
Thanks for your informative video. Would you care to share your chum for mackerel? Thanks in advance
Can you please get me no if you can catch mackerel of the Beach at aldinga ..?
What line would you guys recommend for a pulley rig
15-20lb amnesia and 50-60lb shock leader, I'm assuming you know how to make pulley rig😄 hope this helped
+TheGamingMaster! Thanks mate
Hey grahame go down to chisel beach I and my dad had 100 Mackrell go down fish from 2 hours before sunset then fish all the way to dark silver feathers of beach 3/4 fish every cast
Very helpful video thx!!!!🐟
Were can i get a tach like your
Thanks for your reply love your vids,I just started sea fishing and bought a mackerel feathers set, do I keep the little green balls on the line that comes with it. Thanks.
I think the may be luminous beads,I guess yes,keep them,but ask at the place you bought them.
Do you kill mackerel when you catch it or let it die by itself
I'm going perr fishing tomorow I never went sea fishing before have no bait what do I do
You are the legend! Thank you for teaching me 🍻
Can u catch mackerel with a cheap portable rod and reel ?
We have done. Casting would be the main priority.
do u need a relatively strong rod to catch 3 r 4 mackeral on 1 rod
Mikey Spikey not really, from my experience
Can not use lead in Danish waters (or lead in land for hunters) is that legal in UK
When sea fishing you can fish with leads
Nice one enjoyed it
Do you know if the Shamrock Bullseye Feathers are good for Mackerel and Pollock ?
“All their birthdays have come at once” lol
can u catch mackarel with spinners
Mikey Spikey yes you can
Mikey Spikey feathers are cheaper and youve got chance of getting more to be fair mate
Can u use daylights aswell
Never thought of polishing /scraping the lead as an extra attraction! Thank you.
Total Awesome Fishing, Hell makes sense to me.
Great video 📹 thanks 👍 🎣 🌊 ⚓
I've just got given ur book from 1970 and it's epic p.s the book is freshwater fishing baits
I ordered that book and when It came I thought it felt a bit heavy and it was a bag of groundbait some how
What size lead were you using ?
Brilliant informative video. Thank you
So you don’t used bait?
Awesome video, thanks for the tips!
I love fishing
i thought i reconsidered that shaw line lol are you out near black gang
No,the only Blackgang I know is I think is right round the back of the Isle of Wight ? St.Cats area ?
yeah that's the one just that cliff ledge with the tower on top looked similar to the one at black gang

please let me know how to what bait for mackerel
LEONARDO PEREIRA When I go fishing on a boat I use sardines or anchovies they seem to go for them usually.
Excellent video.
Why is Bruce Forsyth doing this video? 😄
Nice to see you....
Alex Hamilton ha ha, never though of that. Now that’s all I’m going to see lol
@@folksurvival to see you

I caught one with a snapper popper
what size of hook did he use? what size of hook do i need for pier fishing mackerel?
I recommend about a size 4/0 or 5/0 or you could use a spinning lure.
Maybe a freshwater size 4 wide gape hook
Arvin G mm
Arvin G dunno what technical size it is but they are normally about 1cm wide. But if you buy a set of feathers they normally already have hooks
I use 1/0 2/0 from pier they work fine
One time I caught a 4lb mackerel on a rapala x-rap at killybegs harbour
Thanks
Can you catch them of a pier
where could u get the feathers
Most UK sea fishing tackle shops will have some feathers.Or try online. They are not expensive.
Yes john amd fish and boats 🇺🇸

why you have 5 extra rods on boat?
So it is in water like trolling? 🤔
In California, you catch them like crazy off piers
