nice tope well done.was up in chaore two weeks ago and the only mackerel we could pick up were when we nearly back in at pier after a lot of trying after running out of frozen mackerel and up there a month before and couldnt get any the east coast just dont seem to be as good for mackerel as south and west.

Three weeks ago we filled 2 buckets in an hour or so but i was out on Friday and struggled to get ten in half an hour. Out at the bouford bank they were more plentiful.

Dbrock, nice tope mate. Was out there on Saturday and picked up half a bucket at the start of cable rock on bray head. Got a few more when the tide slackened off near the mouldage.
