This is for some sea fishing, first will be some spinning for a mackerel, that will then get chopped up for bait for a couple of long distant lines, then spinning while waiting for some bites on the the other 2

You hope, may just be spinning all day.

Finally got round to ordering a tail tidy, hopefully it arrives by the weekend and doesn't prove too irritating to fit, ordered a slightly smaller plate to go with it too.

[dynax]

Bought a screen for Xena should arrive tomorrow sometime, might even get chance to fit and test it

Okay using feathers from a pier or boat, but will be on the rocks and spinning will have chance of a variety of quarry, also more chance of getting into the bigger fish with lures plus it's makes for better sport playing a single fish than hauling out brace after brace

It's true . I take an all purpose telescopic rod to Scotland to fish for Mackerel in the various deep harbours . It can be very frustrating when you catch four fish with the first cast and have nothing to do for the rest of the day except eat them . I always plan to fish for brook trout but it's impossible to find worms up there .

[dynax]

[mention]fastbob[/mention] Trout will take small spinners and i have caught Trout on little jelly shrimp lures,

I’ve caught Sea Trout in a Scottish sea loch ( Loch Long ) using feathers.

& very tasty they were to.

Catching fish & cooking them on the beach is one of life’s great joys.

Here you go Dynax a bit of bait for you just in case the spinner doesn’t work.

Looking at getting a smallish portable smoker, will have to get one that uses the paraffin blocks as opposed to a spirit burner type

[Tiggie]

I'm pretty good at the filleting

 

 

And the cooking

 

 

Just need to practice the catching bit

[Mickly]

Filleting Mackerel is an art I haven’t mastered - it’s a complete git ... I always end up taking out bones with a pair of pliers before cooking.

I’ve discovered that it’s probably better to cook them whole & remove the bones as your eating them.

[Mickly]

I’ve managed to catch 6 different species using the same lure off the same mark in Cornwall:

Mackerel

Bass

Gar

Pollack

Wrasse ( that was a bloody surprise )

Coalfish

Also saw a Sunfish there once.

Fishing with bait there could also be good, but the Spider crabs are a bloody menace .... caught a couple of those too.

Easy peasy. With Mackerel, I slit down the belly, remove the innards then place it upright on a chopping board. I then use the palm of my hand to push down on the spine and the fish spreads outwards until it is flat on the chopping board. Then pull out the spinal cord along with the attached bones.

Fillet or cook the fish whole. Works every time for me
