Why does anyone need 80 mackerel

Why does anyone need 80 mackerel

Beats me.
I usually keep about 30 to 40 over the entire season which does me for bait over the winter. I only ran out of last years a few weeks ago.

80 mackeral!! theyll be wasted.Me and me sons eat them,so al take half a dozen home to eat the rest go back.

 

[Hadji Kareem]

80 macky and 79 of them will be left somewhere to rot. Get enough for bait, to eat and leave them to the next person.

Just heard that someone has caught 200 macky off Seaham pier?? I hope 190 were put back.

What an absolute waste! As you have said, take what you need and put the rest back.

Because theyre f*cking idiots who will never catch that many fish over the course of the coming months due to lack of angling ability so they fill their boots whole they can

IMO anyway, Its not so much mackie bashing i dont like, its the cretins it attracts

 

[lumpsucker]

Probs sell them door to door to boost their giro

Just hope the Chavs don't get out as far as St. Mary's - want to head out for a bit at the weekend and fancy a bit of peace while I wander round!

Hi Guys
Not sure if you are aware that once we touch the skin of a Mackerel with bare hands, you might as well kill it anyway, it dies a horrible death otherwise, if returned.
Fish for what you need then stop, or take great care in releasing them.

You're right but one way to unhook is.
Hold the hook and shake gently, they drop straight off without having to touch them.

I fish for them just for a bit sport and never handle them if I put them back. A pair of small nose pliers is all you need for spinners and a Gemini disgorger for when your float fishing, simple really.
