what does one use to catch mackeral?

Sabiki rigs, the bigger sized ones I don't know the number. Sabikis are killer but like stated earlier are more intended to load a bucket.

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

tube tree rigs hold up to hundreds of macs with something chrome on the bottom.
the cristal flash long hair sabikis work best but a dozen macs and there torn up.
