I worried about keeping mackerel, however I watched a BBC program where a commercial ship vacuumed like 7000 tonnes of mackerel in one take to sell to Japan. Totally wrong.
The super trawlers are a joke! So are any trawlers for that matter. The answer to protecting any species of fish slaps you in the face but unfortunately, nothing will be done until it’s too late. It’s a sad situation.
Our local lobster stocks are crashing because their grounds have been overrun with spider crabs migrating north with the warmer seas, our local lobster can’t compete with them. There’s a big push locally to try to persuade locals to start adding more spider crabs into their seafood diets, to help sustain the fishing industry. Problem is, most people prefer lobster and are willing to pay for it, spider crabs are worth much less at market. The local oyster industry is under threat as a result also. The seas are definitely warning.
You've sounded the dinner bell for any local anglers who know you. Beautiful sized mackerel and yes, they should be better regulated. It's the same here in Dublin with throngs of people lifting them out when they're around. I can do without, or a limited bag, as long as the mackerel biomass recovers.
It’s a popular spot that place. Throughout the summer they’ll be people there everyday. There’s no need to load up on them. A few per person is more then enough isn’t it.
@@lees2559 Yeah, at Sorrento Point? It's the same at Balscadden and they're justifiably starting to get some heavy criticism for it. Next to Dalkey, at Killiney, can be excellent for decent bass during a night time spring tide.
You want the government to put measures in place? I'll tell you something, its not the guys with a spinning rod on the cliffs thats reducing numbers but the amount of commercial fishing. If defra was really serious about keeping stocks sustainable they would target commercial fisheries and not the individual angler
Hi, How about showing a bit of respect for the fish laying on the rocks. Give them an honourable death by covering them up and out of the sun ( if any ). If you carried a small bag with ice it would do wonders for the Mackerel that spoil very quick. Regards. Ted.
Had a cracking session there once about 15 bass nothing over 2lb and 78 mackerel. I usually go on high tide. Put my gear and clothes in a dry rucksack and swim across the gully
Great session and wise words about conserving stocks yet you keep 6 fish?!!! Not sure if you're practicing what you preach, surely 2 fish would be enough for a good meal and put the rest back?🤔
As in, mass commercial fishing mate. Any shore angler taking 5 mackerel won’t even put a dent in the stocks. 1 seal or tuna alone would devour plenty more then that on a daily basis.
Yeah it got a soaking a few weeks back. I oiled the line roller last week and went out and used it. It was fine but I went bassing in the surf again and didn’t rinse the reel after. It could do will a service really.
@@FISHINGWITHCAL it’s disgusting how these industrial factory ships have been allowed to devastate fish stocks. Environment this environment that yet they are quietly allowing big industry to destroy our seas and fish stocks for huge short term profits. And the politicians turn a blind eye. Grrrrrrr
Nice little Haul there call ,ive yet to catch one lol maybe this year lol ,where in the country are you ,Im in Wales . ive liked n subd you ,bring em on .
Cheers Cal enjoyed watching that and the fun you had watching that one escape. They actually been having a few up here in North Devon the past few weeks. I've never heard of them being around that early before. I. Need to get out. First bass season yesterday
Been catch8 g mackeral from Torbay for 60 years. They have dwindled massively in last 10 years, with mainly joeys these past seasons. The number anglers taking and killing many joeys, is disturbing. The growth in seal population has also hammered the spring shore pollack runs. Even the ballan wrasse, a winter banker, have been decimated. Long gone are the berry head, spark plus, rotten bottom, hardback crab, and plenty 3-4-5 lb fish days. Nice video. Large mackeral are mor rare than bass thee days from the shore. Thanks
Geddon Cal! Nice to see them in. Was on Cornwall south coast on Sunday - beautiful weather, but blanked, so I guess they're not quite here yet. Soon though! Here's to your 7k subs too buddy. Cheers, Jack
New to shore fishing, but isn't there a size limit for landing mackerel? I've caught 2 the other day and they both were shy of around 1cm from the limit, which I read it was 30cm. Is this right? I haven't seen you measure any of your mackerel at any point and it makes me wonder if that is the law or not.
UNFORTUNATELY 30CM FOR THE UK IS INCORRECT... CHECK YOUR LOCAL, IFCA, FOR MINIMUM FISH AND SHELLFISH SIZES... AS IN CORNWALL, IFCA, MACKEREL MINIMUM ARE 20 CM...
@@petergarbutt9521 Ok. Sorry I thought the Uk minimum size was 30cm. My bad. Obviously I’m not from the Uk so I don’t pay too much attention to your size limits.

People moan about less and less mackerel yet take bag fulls home , just take a couple put the rest back alive 🎣
Well said call mackerel depletions have being considerably noticeable from shore fishing for at least a decade
Sea temperatures are NOT rising! It’s industrial overfishing by purse Seine netting, not sports fishermen

…Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but it was just bought up in the video, we also have tuna here now.
A few mackerel we take won’t make a blind difference to what commercial fishermen catch.
Thank You for Sharing Your session
Once again I learnt very much from You
Tight lines
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you found it useful! 👍🏼🎣
They were nice sized mackerel . Looks like they would be fun to catch.
the mackerel are coming in strong , it makes some good fishing
I agree that take limits are needed. Not for pleasure fishers - But for the commercial boats that rape our water's.

@@FISHINGWITHCAL Yeah, it definitely is. Greed just grabs people in the moment.
It’s not Rod anglers who are responsible. It’s factory vacuum fishing ships.
Yep seen it in Dalkey a few lads had 2 mack rigs tied together buckets & bags full no need for it

Nice vid I love catching mackerel they put up a great fight for there size
Yeah they can really go some sometimes!
There are some monster mackerel about already, unusual for this time of year
Sensasi strike rock fishing emang joss mantab kang
Gotta love catching mackerel. Cant wait until they hit our coast.
Had a cracking session there once about 15 bass nothing over 2lb and 78 mackerel. I usually go on high tide. Put my gear and clothes in a dry rucksack and swim across the gully
Nice mate! I've only ever had 1 bass off there before 😂 Love it in the summer though.
mackerel been caught here in Dublin since the second week in april a few lads caught dozens of them i have to get out meself this week
Nice! Hopefully they stick around for a while.
Great session and wise words about conserving stocks yet you keep 6 fish?!!! Not sure if you're practicing what you preach, surely 2 fish would be enough for a good meal and put the rest back?🤔
Encouraging signs after a long winter. Great vid.
Too right. Roll on summer!
'We need to stop fishing for mackerel' while he's fishing for mackerel.

Excellent cal, cormac put me onto you.. I'll have to swat up now.. Keep it up 🤝🤝🤝
Thanks mate! Appreciate it 👍🏼
You need to clean your line roller on the reel before it stops rolling and damage your line i think that's what is making the noise while reeling
Yeah it got a soaking a few weeks back. I oiled the line roller last week and went out and used it. It was fine but I went bassing in the surf again and didn’t rinse the reel after. It could do will a service really.
Could you please share the location? I love to go fishing 🎣 too many thanks
New guy here .. can i ask the rod your using and the line/breaking strain please?
Hi. I was using a Shimano Aernos 7-35g rod. I use 20lb braid on the reel too.
Great video of mackerel fishing with metal jigs.. 👍👍
There are hardly any mackerel on the south Devon coasts these days their numbers have dropped and dropped. A fish once common is becoming rare.
It's a sad state of affairs isn’t it.

Luar biasa tempat mancing sangat mantap kawan, ijin nyimak🙏🙏
Hi buddy
What type of lure using and how many grams is it
Hi mate, it was a little sidewinder jig which weighs 20g. I also like the Majorcraft Jigpara in 20g too.
jeez there in early
Location ?
I won’t see the mackerel here in Southeast England until late Summer, perhaps they tour the UK! 😊
Haha yeah. By late summer last year I struggled to catch many!
Where is this place ?
Cheers Cal enjoyed watching that and the fun you had watching that one escape. They actually been having a few up here in North Devon the past few weeks. I've never heard of them being around that early before. I. Need to get out. First bass season yesterday
Stop trawling
Haha used same lure & had my first batch on monday in cornwall sink & draw method deadly class cal 👌
Someone put me onto those little metals last year. I really like them 👌🏼
@@FISHINGWITHCAL They are class and man do they fly never heard of them until wayne from anglingaddict75 mentioned them
Nicely Cal! Dinner time. Well done bud - SMITHY 😉🤙🎣🐟
Oh man. Nice video.
Am looking forward for this summer. So much fun to cast them with a single lure.
Greetings from Denmark
Yes mate, roll on summer!

That’s not good to hear. Unfortunately it's like that around many parts of the Uk. Let's hope for a more positive season all round.
What type of leader have you got on?
3ft of 20lb fluorocarbon for the leader 👍🏼
That's a decent first catch, last week I had a couple, too small to take but in all a good day, on Skerries eel, what this location? Looks tranquil
I’m in Guernsey mate. The first ones I had last year were in May so nice to get a couple a bit earlier this year.
Thanks Cal, always a pleasure with you!
Thanks mate! 😁🎣
Where is this place? Australia?
New sub here, love the videos, mackerel is my favourite fish to eat, can't wait to get out and try for them
Thanks for the sub! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello mate where is that spot
It's on the east coast of Guernsey mate
Where is this place bro? Could you please give this address

Thanks a lot mate 👍🏼I'm sure they'll be showing around that way very soon.

Decent day Sunday so got out in the boat. A whopping 3 mackies! And so the season begins. You were quite right!

Yes mate you’re right. Uk minimum size is 30cm. Over here it’s 20cm that’s why you didn’t see me measure any of them.
