    Those Mackerel reminded me of my childhood holidays in Cornwall...We had bona-fide 2lbers there back in the late 70s,80s...My old grandad used to call them Ocean Goers lol...Happy days fresh smoking them on the Beach..
    Cheers Billy....Cheers for the great video again 👍 👏

      Mackerel fishing in Cornwall where I live can still be very good and the odd 2 lb one can still be had from time to time, great sport on light tackle caught individually.

    I love mackerel fishing, provided it's one at a time and not by the string load. Tasty, great bait, and they go like the clappers on light gear.

    Ain't it so? Was a time when we fished land locked salmon called Kokanee in Pacific northwest waters of Washington. Ya gitcha a pot and throw in some whole kernel corn, a box of cornmeal, and a can of minced Mackerel, maybe with some special oils thrown in for measure.like Anise. Stir that all up and fling it across the water with a salad spoon a 'chummin''. A kernel of corn on a small hook for a tender mouthed Kokanee cast along the thin chum line. What fun. Schools would pass by and the fishing was a frenzy. Then nothing for a while. The recipe was dead without Mackerel. For your distance casting you might want a Trebuchet to fling the chum.

    For me cod is the stinky one, they're just nasty. Always defecating everywhere 🤢. Nice mackerel! They really do get big here, I caught many weighing almost 2kg. They're like baby tuna especially if you get one on every hook on the feathers.
    Great video as always Billy!

    Looks good - I've caught mackerel of 1kg+ in Malangen - amazing fight, feels like something much bigger. We've fished Arctic Norway every year for the past 20 years (apart from COVID time) and we were wondering if it was worth trying further south - is the fishing around Trondheim as good as it is around Tromsø? In particular we love big coalfish - my PB is over 15kg, so getting to something like that would be great. I've actually posted a video of one of us catching a big coalfish on a fly rod - it is pretty intense!
