Well if 2010 was the year of the mullet run then 2011 has been the year of the mackeral.

Here in Newport we generally have a spring run (late April/May) for larger mackeral, then some small (tinkers YOY(young of year) sometime in July which would hang around and grow until October, then another push of larger macks in late November to just about mid December.

Nice white water yesterday - sure looked bassy. I'm sure there are a few guys takin some in the historic winter over areas.
