Hi,

Have caught them in the past using sabiki's/feathers/spinners, but only ever seen them coming in with the mackerel. Haven't seen big shoals of them in a few years though.

you'll not see them for another while as the post goes above,at least until the mackeral show & the weather picks up,i find very small spinners can be good for them & when you do hit a few of them get as many as you can as it might not happen again for awhile.

As above posters say, they are mostly caught later in the year when the mackerel begin to show. I've had a number of them on silver Toby lures last Summer.
