How big are the mackeral? Are they those tinker mackeral that aren't too big? If they are, I would stick to them. Look for schools darting back and forth. That means something has spooked them. I can't really help you out but I think if there are going to be any bass, they will be by the schools of mackeral. You might want to try catching a mackeral and throwing it back out with a live bait hook stuck in his nose.
