If you have chum sometimes it can take 1\2 hour for them to find you.
I prefer to troll until I get one and then start chumming

I don't do high speed, after a while you learn spots where you will likely find them, (like Ronnie said) structure. I always look in deep water and slow troll around til they hit... then chum only if I have to. Seems once you start hitting them and some blood and scales go into the water, they hang around. We loaded up with over 60 in 15 minutes yesterday.

I caught the biggest mackerel I have ever seen. I took a picture it was so freaky. This sucka was like 18" long and FAT !!! At first I didn't think it was a mac.
