      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...

    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.

  • @steveg8322
    @steveg8322 6 років тому

    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!

    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.

    • @TAFishing
      @TAFishing  8 років тому

      Feathering for mackerel is about the same from shore as from a boat,except you are more likely to get snagged up and lose all your gear if you use a heavy lead from the rocks.Should be easier from a beach,but keep your fishing weight lighter than normal as most of the Mackerel will be running near the surface.

      Not spinners,they would slow the retrieve up too much I reckon,mostly what they call "bar spoon" shape.
