Best time for mackerel ?

Fri Jul 17, 2009 9:45 am

Hi

I have been having a great time recently with the mac on evening tides. Can anyone tell me if they come in on all high tides or is it just the evening tides ?

Thanks for any help.

They come in with every tide and if its a deep water mark they'll be present all stages just not in as many nuimbers....

And they follow in the sprat which follow in the good plankton which come in with warm water which follows good weather :)

they come into a local harbour every august, never any earlier, they are there at most states of the tide, but just feed on the push as the sprats, sandeels and whitebait move in, they can then be caught on all methods, i get them on general coarse tactics on a feeder rod, GREAT SCRAP!! :!: :!: ..
