Mackeral @ the canal
 

any reports?

I'm going to try it tomorrow

how should i go about catching them, can i use freshwater tackle? what should i use, i was thinking sabiki rig or small cast master. what end should i be expecting them, i didn't need a specific spot but i was thinking the east end and over by the scusset.


oh and any recipes?:hee:

recipes for bait

my step dad eats it

Tastes great and very good for you as well. A little lemon over some frshly broiled mac fillets and I am quite happy! :rotf2:

Wash it down with some cod liver oil

Anything shinny, I like small kastmasters 3/4 or 1 oz.

Treat mackerel like tuna and you will be very pleasantly suprised when you eat them. Bleed them immediately (slit their gills and put them in a bucket of water), then ice them. When you filet them make a vertical cut to remove the lateral bones, then slice off the dark meat and discard it. The remaining white meat is every bit as good as bonito. Not fishy or oily at all.

skunked today :[

possible chance i might go tomorro

Smokem and they are great!!!:smokin:

I would love to get some but I just winterized the motor today.:fishslap:

When they get here if they get here east end is the place to be!!

And as numbskull said treat them right and you will love them!! I deep fry and make sandwiches or like fish and chips they are great!

Nice on the grill or baked also!

Good Luck!!
