Mackerel

Buzzing! Got my trackies on, t-shirt off and tucked into them, with my burberry cap on (don't need sun cream me), 2 crates of tinnies, a multi pack of Asda's own crisps and a Twix, 40 fags, a lighter (for lighting fags and fires), a crappy old rod that i bought when i was 12, some feathers from me budgie, a couple of rusty hooks, and now i'm going to come down the pier and show you 'experienced' fisherman how you're supposed to fish!

:D ;)

Oh the joys of the makky bashing chavs eh!
 
Its the reason i dont fish piers as all you get is "ere mate can i buy a weigjt of you and a hook and some line and whats that bait ya using got any spare
 
I love fishing for mackerel and I do go out early in the morning to fish for them , not because there is no chavs at that time [and usually there isn't ] but for me it is simply the best time to catch them, as for the chavs and summer fishing yes you do get the odd lunatic who hasn't a clue and is a pain in the arse but I have come across the same type of people at night in the depths of winter cod fishing, I really do think a lot of people on this site make a bit of a song and dance about chavs and mackerel fishing just my opinion.

Me too Paul. We have encountered a few "chavs" when we ill advisedly went to Granton Breakwater near Edinburgh, which we won't ever do again and once in Blairmore, although those drunken louts were in their mid 30's!

Young people have precious little to do in the Summer, whether they are off school, or college, or unemployed. With little cash what options are there? So if they can have a cheap day out fishing for mackerel, then why not? Perhaps a little more patience on the popular venues is needed. Or like us, take yourself off to quieter spots where the ones with no access to cars can't reach. Let's not tar all the young because of some. It's like non anglers blaming all anglers for leaving their rubbish behind.

Anyway, when are the mackerel going to show? I am going stir crazy waiting! :)

PS Where have you been Paul. Haven't seen you on the site in absolutely ages?
