Mackerel

Hit the CCB chasing mackerel for the first time as captain.
Other than finding the fleet, how do you target an area for them?
Is there a science to it that I couldn't figure out?
I had a chum-basket which I'm not really sure did much other than have them hang around the boat once they found me
Could have been my imagination, but they did seem to frequent a certain area...??...I must have been crazy though because that fish is always on the move.
Fish/finder marked them when I was already on them, but never really helped me find them.
Please tell me I'm not crazy and that it's just plain luck in finding them...
..and yes, the birds helped now and then when they were bustin up the bait. Also caught a couple with those ugly lampreys attached, ...that's amazing in itself. The dang lamprey was almost as long as the mack, how the hell can a lamprey catch AND attach itself to a swimming machine like a mackerel? Love to see that!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
