PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 slimy's
just wondering if anyone could supply me with a pic of slimy mackerel, not sure what they are yet, just became a keen offshore fisherman and was also wondering about any bait for them?
(Google "slimy mackerel", then click on images link up top for more pics)
Bait Jigs are prob. the most effective way to catch them(If there a bit quiet, I also put a small piece of squid/pillie on the bait jig hooks) - When your jigging at bait grounds, you'll also pick up Yakka's, which are also a dynamite bait.
A rod around 1.8m is ideal for both jetty, rock and boat fishing.
Hook Selection
No.8 Beak-Nickel "Holdfast" nylon snelled hooks that come pre packed are ideal. Mackerel have small,soft mouths !
Baits Used
Small pieces of Fish Flesh, Prawn and Squid. Also small lures like Juro Shiners.
Berley Mix
They usually repond to any form of berley.
Rigs Used
Rig No. 1
Rig 1, a double dropper paternoster rig, is perfect for fishing off jetties, and intended for use when the mackerel are feeding on the bottom. The purpose of the spring sinker is to hold a berley mix in place, and slowly disperse it within the vicinity of your hooks. When cast, take any slack out of the main line to ensure that if a bite occurs, your rod tip will bend.
