Sardines and Mackerel are the two top nutritious fish you can eat - and should be an important part of anyone's diet - DARKSIDER sent me a box of Mackerel over a week ago - and the Mrs has been cooking them up for us to eat here - and they are delicious 😋 -
Many thanks DARKSIDER! - Grow On! - and Fish On! mate -

Be careful these days, don´t go to town, that they don´t fishing you in the riots!
Riots for now are lying dormant so instead of listening to all the media bull,, i will have a day or at least several hours on the water and will be targetting everything but mackerel,, since ive said that now, watch this space :biglaugh: Well time for the off nearly one more hour or so T.B.C.:wave:

I think the riots were just a question of time and sadly not the last in Europe. The media sucks, they told everybody was a nazi, but I think it was more ordinary, simple, angry people.

But what I wanted to ask, do you fish the mackerels with a net? I think so, got no idea about fishing.

Well back from my little fishing trip and it was ok but not great had a strong undercurrent today pulling the line everywhere so had to work hard for the fish and as said watch this space ha ha ha should never of opened my big gob ha ha todays catch was 56 fish altogether gave some away on return but kept some i had no intention of keeping them but needs sometimes must, the weather was ok a bit of a swell to start with then it turned out very sunny and hot compared to an average day here i kept think it was 27 alltogether 1 pollock 10 mackerel and 16 whitefish through a few back not worth keeping to small undersize to live for another day alls well that ends well so they say.

Thanks for looking in guys always appreciated 100 percent and janKowalski yes my friend i use penn and shimano mostly cannot fault them to be honest bulletproof some would say sort of.:good:

Hermanthegerman no m8 never use a net, all line caught rod and reel always more sport and a lot get away compared to a net more for next year in a way, provided the big boats stay to there quota and keep away from inshore which is not always the case seen it with my own eyes taking food from the table for the small boating community but hey thats business so they say and yes i agree about the riots dont get me started ha ha anyhow thats it for today stay tuned, as its T.B.C.:good:
