Great video ! Fishing for mackerel with a single hook and light gear is my favourite type of fishing & agree totally with your comments about releasing fish .
going to give it a try next week in cornwall. Totaly agree about not unhooking high. Have seen a lot of vids where they just drop them onto the rocks high up which i think is really bad.
Great video Mike, people are right about the trawlers & mackerel, i remember fishing in Cornwall when i was on holiday in Tintagle, catching dozens of fish with my parents with hand lines, now i live in New Zealand where the fishing is fantastic,( now i also have a 30ft boat) been here since 1975, but have trips home often, still have family in Essex, will be back for 8 weeks end of May 2019 but wont be fishing which is sad, wife wants to sight see Europe, all the best keep vids comming
great video mate. policy forget that fish don't usually ever experience out of water gravity and that any slight drop could damage them. I eat most I catch as much as poss but if returning I try to induce the least amount of stress on the animal as I can. respect the animals for what they provide. keep it up! :)
spot on mike, watched this video and then put it to practice, used a small 10gram dexter wedge on a dropshot rod paired with a nomura kuro, took them down to falmouth and fished from the point far side of swan pool, what a great days fishing, mackerel after mackerel even a good size wrasse jigging about a foot off the rock in a deep pocket. thanks to you and your dad, its watching these your videos that made me get my gear back out back of garage, and now me and my son fish all the time, with him being 17 now its great to find something we can both do together
Superb videos guys ... brilliant to see a father and son with common interest .. id like to have same with my dad .. but at 92 hes just a tad too old .. lol .. tight lines guys .. George :)
Meister Mouse not so much for fishing as while we can increase fish stocks i think we may have some issues trying to artificially lower the sea temperature
good video. your explanation for retrieve and jigging was the kind of explanation I was looking for on the drop shotting and fishing for pike with lures videos.
I'm watching these videos as I am thinking if taking up sea fishing again. I'm from Houghton le spring so not far from shields. I here the council often close roker pier during mackerel season.
+Steves Outdoors NE that was 2014 for repairs and now roker is open always except for bad weather and shields is open edxept for bad weather and night but you can climb around still but like i say some great fishing off the top for mackerel, pollock and flatties in the summer months
+Tyler Robb Roker pier was featured on Countryfile the other night..I see they are planning to open up the tunnel and do tours. Bet that's a great reason for the council to close it to the public. They won't want people who are paying for a tour to face chaos pissing all over the lighthouse. But like anything its the behaviour of the minority that causes problems for the rest.
Keep the good work up Mike! Great tips & video. One day you may reach the dizzy heights of your old man! Seriously though mate, you're getting there fast (only 'cos I've been reading articles & books your Dad has written for donkey's years long before the internet). Cheers mate & tight lines.
Great vid Mike I've realy turned to sea fishing in last couple of years so that was a Wednesday night bonus. Also dropshotting and jigging addict in last couple of years. Hint hint lool
I heard if the scales come of mackerel and u return them or if you touch a mackerel with dry hands and return them they will die with in 36 hours. Thats what i heard. Love the vids👍👍
Hi Mike....those jigs your using are vertical shore jigs....and the reason they come with one hook is because they are for vertical fishing and the hook is near the head....what i am saying is that your meant to fish it the other way around than you fished it! :) but yeah they worked the other way around as well! Thanks HTO for making them. Great videos... please keep them up I enjoy they a lot!
honestly thank you for the tips pal I bought the same lures but only the 12g baitfish was available and 10g tronix wedge and I honestly had a great day out today had a good few school bass off the baitfish and caught my first garfish on the wedge :) just want to say thank you :)
Im proper hooked on spinning/jigs now iv actually never caught anything of spinners/jigs before and now i have im hooked like a kipper lol have you ever used a mepps black fury number 2 in bright aluminus yellow before iv ordered one of them now for brown trout can't wait to get back out there again :) Barry
Quick release of the fish is a must, better going back with a chance of survival than getting binned because nobody wants them or left in a freezer for months then getting chucked, if you arent going to eat it dont kill it, great videos guys and nice to see your girlfriend enjoying it ;-)
Excellent video... I am new to lure fishing and the 3-5 second wait then jiging in the retrieve technique will be tried ... I wonder if the mackerel here in Perth Australia are the same as UK's
Hey Mike, What size jig are you using? I think you are using these ones: www.tronixfishing.com/product/hto/hto-metal-lures/hto-shore-jig/ The website doesn't really say the length of the lure. I like the size of the one in your hand at 10:38, can you please tell me the weight of it? Thanks.
Hi Barrie, I see no reason why you can't use single hook lures. All depends on fishery rules wherever you are fishing. Many people prefer to fish with single hooks
Hi ,,I am a bit of a beginner,,,do you do videos that show you how to tackle up, hooks to use etc..I am interersted in fishing of rocks inFalmouth,, best be a float I think,,any helpful videos for me please ?,,thank you Angela
what spinning rods and reels are everybody using looking to update my gear in the january sales so need to get a idea of whats good and whats not. thnxs in advance
+angus macdonald I'm getting back into it. I've got a 7ft 3" wychwood agitator dropshot and a fox rage warrior 7ft 10 - 30g, both rods are great for light action fishing. The agitator is really nice and cost about £55. The Fox rod was only £26 and is very good value. My reels are shimano exage FD, £50 and superb.
The one that looks most like the baitfish mackerel eat. The lure colour I was using that caught well was called "baitfish" most of the best mackerel lures are natural or silver colour - Mike

@@TAFishing thanks very much I was told that when the water is warmer at the end of the summer is the time the mackerel come close to shore is that true?
Another great vid Mike thanks, great venue and all the tips you need. I've done all types of Fishing inland but never done any sea fishing either on shore or boat. Do you need a particular fishing licence for sea fishing ? look forward to the next vid stay safe.
Yes you can just tie the jig straight to your mainline. However my mainline is braid, braid is not abrasion resistant on the rocks. So I have about a metre of fluorocarbon which is tied to the braid with either the albright knot or a swivel. Mike
Thanks Mike mine is just the old school cheap line I think it's a 10lb line I think I will try a meter on a swivel next time give it some more movement in the water cross fingers more bites and tight lines lol cheers Mike
Mike just learn from the master "rusty"! When it comes to returning lob them in a bowl/ grenade pattern! Really agree, you try to always get it right, In favor of barbless hooks, even shark hunting, Cheers
+1 on the releasing aspect... too many pansies these days think its absolutely necessary to use a wet rag, make love to the fish, then revive it before releasing. I personally just throw them back like you do and havent had a single fish die on me.
Light line fishing has to be the best way to catch mackerel, especially with single hook lures/spinners rather than these strings of feathers lobbed out with a 6oz weight from a 14 foot beach caster. Some good points made about releasing fish alive too. Nice one!
Even a 10-35 may be too heavy for Pollick and Mackerel. Personally I would use a 10-25 with 8lb mono straight onto a 10g Toby. Light and fun. Just be careful with the tide and rocks as it can be dangerous.
Good video and in your dads footsteps, informative and approaching aspects that create interest and communication between others and there’s nothing wrong with that, dipped into your magazine the other evening, very good and helpful, well done for the putting in the time, I personally would pay a quid as a contribution towards costs, I don’t know if you can arrange it, but I have and do click on articles etc and by choosing the arrow on the top right of screen am able to choose place into iBooks, I couldn’t do it with the magazine but think it would be a good aspect if you could.

I think you would get quite a following, don’t know why your Dad haven’t put a book together he has the knowledge. Anyway brilliant work with a nice genuine delivery. Cheers DG New Forest
Thank you I'm in the US we don't have same names I'm assumings silver, like the lure at an angel we call the kassmaster. /______/ you had a diffrent name for it spinners ever try mepps silver for mackerel?
Usually I use the countdown method, If I bump the bottom (got to be a little risky) then I know that it takes a certain amount of seconds for my jig to hit the bottom, next time I cast out, I won't let it sink for as long :) You almost have to hit bottom to begin with, just to gauge how deep it is. Unless you hit into a fish before you hit bottom, then you know to fish at that level. - Mike
You will need to check the tides so you can go around the rock point without getting too wet; are you familiar with the area? I would recommend going there as I have caught loads of Pollock there!
i shall add yet again ,, handling a fish with dry hands does very very little damage , if any at all , as i handle my koi carp weekly , they don t seem to mind it and over the years we have suffered from very very few fungal issues , .even in my OVER-CROWDED PONDS
Awesome stuff ! love the show btw ! i have a question grant I'm fairly new to stripe bass fishing and i live near a river that has a pretty swift current what would be some sound advice such as lures or would chunk baits be better ? thanks in advance :)

Another Totally Awesome Video! Well Done guys!!
Superb videos guys ... brilliant to see a father and son with common interest .. id like to have same with my dad .. but at 92 hes just a tad too old .. lol .. tight lines guys .. George :)
Looks like a right lark. I'm hoping to do similar in cornwall, around may time.
+arcanekrusader I never seem to catch much in the sea, mind you!
Very insightful, mackerel fishing in cork has gotten worse and worse, those Icelandic trawlers are depleting the huge shoals.
True, it's a shame, once upon a time the sea in the summer was almost overflowing with mackerel but now it's only the odd few.
+Meister Mouse I heard that mackerel stocks are actually booming but due to water temperature changes they've moved further north
+Kieran Clark That's good news!
Meister Mouse not so much for fishing as while we can increase fish stocks i think we may have some issues trying to artificially lower the sea temperature
2018 was the worst I've seen in cork harbor for mackerel since the 80s. Hardly any of them.
Fun stuff!
Good tips il try some spinnfishing for them this year but still i enjoy the angling better for mackerel just to see the float dive :)
good video. your explanation for retrieve and jigging was the kind of explanation I was looking for on the drop shotting and fishing for pike with lures videos.
Great one Mike,good explanation on catch and release.
great video mate i will try this out next weekend as my dad lives near a beach i will give it a little go see if i can pull out anything , cheers

Steves Outdoors NE isn't that the truth
What a place to fish, looks beautiful there.
Love the knowledge this channel drop!
Could you explain why a low rod tip is better?
Love you guys!
Well explained video , thanks Mike
Nicely explain on the types of jig like the video.
Keep the good work up Mike! Great tips & video.
One day you may reach the dizzy heights of your old man!
Seriously though mate, you're getting there fast (only 'cos I've been reading articles & books your Dad has written for donkey's years long before the internet). Cheers mate & tight lines.

I fish with a rock fishing rod and 10 gr jigs , a more fantasiastic retrieve with various types off rod movement and have awesome results
Great video guys/gals. tight lines from Florida! :)
Where is it I love fishing I watch you every day
great video and equally great tips
cheers !!!

First time I've watched a Mr Pullen Jnr video...very cool and useful :)
honestly thank you for the tips pal I bought the same lures but only the 12g baitfish was available and 10g tronix wedge and I honestly had a great day out today had a good few school bass off the baitfish and caught my first garfish on the wedge :) just want to say thank you :)
No worries, glad it worked for you! It worked again for me on the weekend as did the tronix wedge. Both excellent jigs! - Mike
Im proper hooked on spinning/jigs now iv actually never caught anything of spinners/jigs before and now i have im hooked like a kipper lol have you ever used a mepps black fury number 2 in bright aluminus yellow before iv ordered one of them now for brown trout can't wait to get back out there again :) Barry
good vid..best way to catch these fish and wise words
So show some of the jigs & spinners you use for mackerel.
You can use near enough anything I put an inside out part of a crisp packet on a hook and caught
Great Vid!!!
Quick release of the fish is a must, better going back with a chance of survival than getting binned because nobody wants them or left in a freezer for months then getting chucked, if you arent going to eat it dont kill it, great videos guys and nice to see your girlfriend enjoying it ;-)
I know this it late but you could use it as bait also which mackerel are commonly used for
yes of course as long as its a legal fish u can use it for whatever u want
I catch Mack’s for the soul purpose to freeze then and use them as striper fishing bait they love Mackerel
keep up the good work gents love your videos
Excellent video... I am new to lure fishing and the 3-5 second wait then jiging in the retrieve technique will be tried ... I wonder if the mackerel here in Perth Australia are the same as UK's
Are there any good places in the south of England to catch mackerel
Thanks for the tips
Sorry for the newbie question, but are these weighted and act as your bomb weight to cast
Most lures are weighted and come in different sizes for casting further,or fishing deeper water.
mike the fact that it burns it is rubb... is!. you should try keep them for bait i mean a whole fillet or live bait it is fantastic. Great session
tried cut anchovies nothing but once i put mackerel on the hook kept catching them
Hey Mike, What size jig are you using? I think you are using these ones: www.tronixfishing.com/product/hto/hto-metal-lures/hto-shore-jig/ The website doesn't really say the length of the lure. I like the size of the one in your hand at 10:38, can you please tell me the weight of it? Thanks.
... I asked the question too soon, you mentioned it at 14:00 it's 7g. Thanks anyway
I think it's really great that you list your gear used in the description it's so helpful. Do you do this on all your videos now?
+marc snelling Hi Marc, we don'y usually, I just did in this video to make it easier for people. I will look into doing this for future videos. - Mike
Like your style!
I’m new to mackerel fishing, how can I find out when to catch mackerel in Scottish waters? What time of year? Or are they there all the time?
Ask your local tackle shop.I would have thought summer and autumn the best time,assuming they come into the area you are thinking of fishing.
tell me Mike can you use those small single hook lures for fresh water fishing jiging. regards barrie
Hi Barrie, I see no reason why you can't use single hook lures. All depends on fishery rules wherever you are fishing. Many people prefer to fish with single hooks
movie uploaded in December but what month it was ? please let me know
August
Awesome vid well done
Awesome and thanks !!!
Hi ,,I am a bit of a beginner,,,do you do videos that show you how to tackle up, hooks to use etc..I am interersted in fishing of rocks inFalmouth,, best be a float I think,,any helpful videos for me please ?,,thank you Angela
Try Achill island some day lads if you want a challenge.. big Irish records have a go..
have you ever fished in north devon?
was the seabed rocky or sandy? thanks
It would have been rocky because pollack only live on a rocky/weedy seabed
love your video.
the thing i like about mackerel is the skin pattern they have
what is your mackerel limit? here in bc it is 200 per person.
I may have that Jig was it made by Jackal Outdoors
what spinning rods and reels are everybody using looking to update my gear in the january sales so need to get a idea of whats good and whats not. thnxs in advance

I have a spinner fishing rod and a set of spinners passed down by relations, can I use it to cast things other than spinners?
Yep you can use jigs with soft plastic lures (keep them small, around 2-4 cm long)
+TAFishing Thank you very much, this really helped!

When is the best time for mackerel??
Evening or dawn spring tides,high water coinciding with low light.
@@TAFishing thanks very much I was told that when the water is warmer at the end of the summer is the time the mackerel come close to shore is that true?

EXCELLENT
quick question do you use a swivel at all on the line or do you use line straight to the jig thanks Mike
Yes you can just tie the jig straight to your mainline. However my mainline is braid, braid is not abrasion resistant on the rocks. So I have about a metre of fluorocarbon which is tied to the braid with either the albright knot or a swivel. Mike
Thanks Mike mine is just the old school cheap line I think it's a 10lb line I think I will try a meter on a swivel next time give it some more movement in the water cross fingers more bites and tight lines lol cheers Mike
No worries! Good luck!

Hi where abouts in Cornwall were you ?
thanks for replying,,,very grateful
Looks a lovely spot, is it a secret fishing place?, if not where is it please
really nice video, but we in the netherlands have not that kind of conditions:((
mackrel fishing in Holland sucks last years
Light line fishing has to be the best way to catch mackerel, especially with single hook lures/spinners rather than these strings of feathers lobbed out with a 6oz weight from a 14 foot beach caster. Some good points made about releasing fish alive too. Nice one!
Great Video. Do you use a shock leader at all?
Pls bro I wan to try n use lures can u tell me tis spot pls bro
Tnks
Pompeii
I accidentally bought 4g spinners, would these be ok to cast on their own? Or am I going to need to add weight?
It will be difficult to cast 4g in windy conditions, on a flat day you should be ok. That will work fine for vertical jigging - Mike
The jigs I use are 7-10g
Thanks, learned the hard way that they don't work. Getting really poor cast lengths even with a small ball bearing weight attached
It's v.good for casting
Even a 10-35 may be too heavy for Pollick and Mackerel. Personally I would use a 10-25 with 8lb mono straight onto a 10g Toby. Light and fun. Just be careful with the tide and rocks as it can be dangerous.
Pollock damn autocorrect.
Nah I don't think you can go to big when mackerel fishing as long as you're in reasonable sizes
if people are worried about touching fish ,then use a small landing net and unhook them in that
Did you use any lead while you were using the jig ?
No just used the weight of the jig which I think was 7grams
TAFishing thanks Mike

Anyway brilliant work with a nice genuine delivery. Cheers DG New Forest
Hi Mike, do you use a leader for mackerel?
Hi, when I am using the reel with braid on yes I use about a 4ft fluorocarbon leader
Thanks again Mike👍
you just hooked another subscriber thanks for the tips
Great vid could you tell me some tips on carp fishing please 😃🎣
Thank you I'm in the US we don't have same names I'm assumings silver, like the lure at an angel we call the kassmaster. /______/ you had a diffrent name for it spinners ever try mepps silver for mackerel?
is that a 4000 sized reel
+Matthew Agnew he said 3500
Dont you worry about being snagged on the rocky bottom? How do you know that when you counting you not going to hit bottom?
Usually I use the countdown method, If I bump the bottom (got to be a little risky) then I know that it takes a certain amount of seconds for my jig to hit the bottom, next time I cast out, I won't let it sink for as long :) You almost have to hit bottom to begin with, just to gauge how deep it is. Unless you hit into a fish before you hit bottom, then you know to fish at that level. - Mike
hey guys brilliant video what cameras do u use for recording?
where in cornwall was this please>
kynance cove
thank you sam ,,is it easy to climb down ?
You will need to check the tides so you can go around the rock point without getting too wet; are you familiar with the area? I would recommend going there as I have caught loads of Pollock there!
No I am not familiar with that area but if I am down there I will have a go, thanks
i shall add yet again ,, handling a fish with dry hands does very very little damage , if any at all , as i handle my koi carp weekly , they don t seem to mind it and over the years we have suffered from very very few fungal issues , .even in my OVER-CROWDED PONDS
