hahaha:D so do you think he's taking the pi#s, or just doesn't know anything about it and trying to make conversation?
 
2nd of June was our first fruitful macky bash last year. Mind you I am in Scotland, but not much different all over I suspect.
 
I love the mackerel, fav fish in the sea as great to catch and great bait as well as a sure sign the summer is here.

Anyway i cant see them showing on the piers before the late May bank holiday, whatever it was last year add 3 weeks to it.
 
Me thinks more,the sea is flat today & you start thinking, then tomorrow Its rough, at least a month for me,I love fishing off the Pipe at W/Bay 2 rods, one for the Flatties, and a 12ft carp rod for the mackerel, with a dexters on the end of it, 4 am start and hope its a nice sunny day
Had a great one a few years ago, went out at 3.30. as I took the rag out of the fridge, spotted 8 cans of Jon Smiths in the fridge & thought boll57x Im taking them with me,What a cracking day/ morning, only caught 2 but had a great morning , picked some winckles on the way off the pipe,at about 6 in the morning cooked the lot up finished the last 2 cans and went back to bed for a few hours,, A great day out/ morning and wor lass was still asleep. didnt know I'd been out, Brill.
 
Think all forecast point to everything turning up later but for the mack:red:

£1 virtual bet first reports;

Boats: end of May early June

Shore: (sorry:() Late July might even stretch into August before they turn up in numbers

More than happy to be proved wrong:red:
