personally i think 40 fillets is enougth to freeze for bait and if u run out mackrels not exactly the dearest fish to buy, couple of quid from morisons at the most.
why do they do it
they must get some kind of a hard on walking off with 100 mackrel, only reason i can think of
howay lads invest in a spinning rod, believe me its much better and enjoyable fighting a macky on them than your 13ft broom shank
only 1 word barbaric

you have edited the original post ,so must be a tad concerned about what it has attracted in the way of answers - Problem is though Davy red has "quoted" also ,so it stays on the board for all to read what was said before your edit

hadn't noticed the herring as well being mentioned. If anyone wonders how quickly stocks can collapse, just look at the poor herring and the history of the herring industry

New season, same unbelievable tactics and excuses.
New season, same unbelievable tactics and excuses.
This subject rears its head every year at this time. My opinion,.. take what you need to eat or for bait, and return the rest. Dont dump them on the pier, leave them in bags, or give the f******s to chinese blokes.
strings of feathers were designed to take mackerel for bait, not to catch 200 plus a session. If its for sport, use a spinner and light rod for christs sake.
Every singlle mackerel dumped on a pier is ammo for the anti angling brigade.
Its unnecassary, pointless, wasteful, and downright infuriating.
Dont be surpriseds when piers are closed during the mackerel season, or limits put on the amount of people allowed on for Health and Safety reasons.

It's strange isn't it? While the rest of us lament the over excessive nature of pulling in "tonnes of macky" there's been little feedback from the lads that are doing it.
Do they feel chastened by the general lack of support from their peers? (saying that - intelligent people aren't in their peer group clearly) Have they seen the errors of their ways? Can they actually justify why they are doing it in an intelligent argument?
Probably not - they are "problies gan doon the peeyah the neet to scope oot wot the chinky fellas are pullin in coz it's pure cush" (with a can of fosters in their back pocket?)
Am I being harsh? Am I casting a stereotyped image of these plums?
