Beginner tips on mackerel fishing

Mackerel fishing you say? Anyone can catch mackerel, yes while I agree in principle there are days when we struggle to fing them and this guide is intended to help the novice on such days, although I think some of you more regular boat anglers might find the article of interest especially the safety aspect covered later (not to mention the best mackerel recipe in the world)because in my opinion mackerel fishing on a full charter boat can be the most hazardous form of boat fishing,but by following a few simple safety procedures your day can be hazard …

Last years winter festival was …
