MACKEREL ROCK

 

HOW TO FISH

This rock is home to some of the largest Mackerel around the Island that can be caught from as early as April on feathers and spinners. You will also catch plenty of Pollack and Wrasse on worm and crab baits.

Big Mackerel baits will put you in touch with Rays, Conger, Bullhuss and the ever present Dogfish.

As winter comes so does the run of Codling and Coalies which come in at 5lbs+ to worm and crab baits. You will also catch the larger Whiting and if lucky the odd Ling to sandeel and fish baits.
