If you want to load a bucket, use a mackerel tree on a medium heavy rod. Something that can cast 1-2 oz on the end of the tree and lift 4-5 macks out of the water.
If you want to have a ball, use a light freshwater rod and some small metal lures. Mackerel give a pretty good account of themselves on light gear
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
soo you can take a mackeral tree ring thing and cast it out from the rocks from the canal and reel it in with nothing on it and you'll catch mackeral?!?! sounds too easy
Pick up a mackeral rig from Red Top Today at the Canal. The Mackeral were at the Canal all morning, tons of boats and guys were there too.. All standing in one area at the end of the Jetty..
Go tomorrow morning, there were absolutely no fish between 11AM and 3PM.. Put a folk in me.oke: . Striper season is finally done.. Skunk twice now.. Will look into catching Togs, Mackeral and Flounder instead.. Good luck..

Stick a sinker or a 2-3 ounce diamond jig on the end so you can cast the rig out there. There is a "snap" at the end of the rig for attaching a small jig. A cod might bite on to the jig (hey, one can always hope).
Off the pier I've mostly used a 6' freshwater rod throwing 1+1/4 ounce metal . hopkins,castmaster,diamond jig,deadly #^&#^&#^&#^&... They're in and out ,, never felt like throwing a tree all day .. Tin foil off your cigarrete pack on the hook works .. After you catch a mackerel you can bait fish them with a bobber and mackerel for bait . A strip of mackerel skin works great . In the ditch do it thier way... long rod with a tree
