as soon as the sun comes out they expect the mackerel to be there.
haha, shame they aren't in yet mind - could just do with a couple of hours and my spinning rod. nowt like an early session on a sunday morning with a spinning rod - in fact I might have to have a try this sunday up at st. marys - don't care if i catch out, the wander around the island is nice enough

Come to think of it heres another one I heard at ASDA the other day.
I was picking up some oil and 2 lads standing next to me, one of them says to the other looking at the WD40 tins something like
"aw ya remember when I caught all them mackrel off roker usin this like just sprayin it on the hooks nebody else could catch anything"
I had a little giggle to myself second time this year I have walked past WD40 and someone has mentioned its fishing powers actually

so it starts, now i have a few things to say about fishing for mackerel and the so called macky bashers that go with it.
one, i have been sea fishing for well over 40 years winter ,spring, summer and autumn and i really look forward to MACKY BASHING during the summer months for a few reasons and the main one is that it's FUN, light line and light tackle, when you hook one of them stripies they go off like a steam train. plus there is't much else to catch anyway and don't start telling me there are other species you can target i know there is but mackerel are plentiful, bass and rays aren't and i like to go fishing to catch fish isn't that what its all about catching fish.
two, i am sick of hearing self righteous experienced sea anglers on this forum knocking the youth, ok they don't know a lot about casting and you do get a bit of flying lead in the wrong direction but hey we where all kids at one time and all of us had to LEARN and the best place to learn is watching and fishing with lads who know what they are doing, MACKY BASHING is how most of of us started and got hooked and the future of our sport depends on the kids so leave them and their rubbish casting alone, they will learn as we all have.
three, ****heads its easy to knock a few idiots and its only a few who get rat arsed on the piers and everyone makes a big thing about it, much much more that it really is, i don't mind a couple of cool tinnies my self on a hot july day, that does not mean im a **** head and to be honest all the time i have been fishing i have not seen that much misbehavior on any of the summer marks.
hopefully tight lines for the summer
