  • We're out here today in Cape Cod, on calm waters jigging for mackerel, and we'd like to show you how to catch mackerel.
    Primarily, we're drifting in waters about 70' deep, though targeting suspended Atlantic mackerel about 30' to 20' deep. I'm fishing with a custom rig of a stingnose jigging spoon at the bottom, with two teaser-t's tied above it.
    How to cook mackerel with no fishy taste: • How to Cook Mackerel a...
    You can buy already pre-rigged mackerel rigs and they work great to catch mackerel. Though today I wanted to try a slightly different mackerel rig. Both are very effective at catching mackerel.
    The technique we're using is a simple drop and jig technique. The hardest part is getting your line in the target line. A good way is to use a line counter on your reel.
    Mackerel tend to move in large schools. So often you'll go through periods of nothing, then suddenly slam into a frenzy of them. This makes for an exciting day on the water!

    I used to catch the Tinker Makeral in Long island sound in Connecticut with the colored surgical tube umbrella Makeral Rigs,than due to the waters getting dirty they vanished in around 1980.and I fished off a jetty.they were to fishy and bony for me so I'd freeze them,than when I went blue,Striper, or fluke fishing I'd cut chunks and it worked great.much better than Bunkers.

    I used to use Sabiki rigs to jig for baby bluefish, aka 'snapper'. It was fun catching them by the bucket and then cooking them up and eating them! Haven't caught mackerel with the Sabiki rig yet, because there's no opportunity for me right now. I am a true boatless angler.

    As an FYI, there is a very easy way to unhook these fish. Simply grab the shank if the hook. Use pliers. The fish will unhook itself in about i.5 seconds. I used to fish for these commercially with rod and reel, and we had to get them off the hooks and get the rigs back down where the fish were swimming.
    Also, we always tried to keep a well-hooked mackerel swimming under the boat. That keeps the rest of the school around longer.

    Great vid! Reminds me of when I went fishing for mackerel with my dad and brother. A huge school came by and everyone on the pier was catching fish. We were pulling up 4 or 5 at a time. By the end of the morning, we had filled our ice chest! Although it was just mackerel, it was one of the most fun times I've had while fishing. Very exciting!

    I like canned mackeral LOL! I guess the oily nature scents well for bait. Are you guys Canadian? for some reason I had thought that if not guess I thought you were often in the Canadian side of the great lakes..

    • @thundermistlures

      When we first went out, it was very foggy & viability was reduced, so we put our life jackets on :)
