This is a sea angling forum for the debate of all angling related topics, including: shore fishing, boat and kayak fishing. Here you will find pictures of anglers going sea fishing and catching fish. You will find angling related debate. Sometimes anglers will retain fish for the table. Whilst we respect the personnal choice of anglers to follow catch and release practices, this is not a conservation forum and devout conservationists unable to accept anglers sensibly retaining fish should seek out alternative forums. Anyone preaching catch and release or criticising other peoples reports will have their posts removed.

just a thought but are you convinced that there were no bait fish?......

its possible that the mackerel themselves were the 'baitfish'

-i.e. something much bigger was hitting them from underneath?

possible candidates might be porbeagle or thresher or tope .....
-or who knows maybe even tunny (bluefin tuna)?
