Welcome Glenn.

 

The mackerel are here in force at the moment. You can catch them virtually anywhere. Go out of the Swash Channel turn left and then look for 40ft plus of water and drift for a while.

 

If you dont catch anything try going to slightly deeper water. Most catches are near the surface, but drop the feathers to the bottom and then wind up until you hit the depth where the shoals are, then concentrate on this depth.

Welcome Glen

enjoy the forum biggrin.gif

 

earlier today at Swanage the Mackeral were very thick on the ground.

 

we caught six when our bream rigs tipped with squid were lifted off the bottom by the tide.

feathers would have filled up very quickly indeed.

 

If you are after the bream that are out there in most areas, head into the bay and look for concentrations of boats or pot buoys, anchor in front of a rocky patch or drift with ragworm tipped with squid or mackeral strips and you have a chance of a nice fish or two.

 

Please return what are not wanted for the pot as we are all trying to concerve the fish as best we can

 

Have fun
