I enjoy fishing, but haven't gone for about 7 or 8 years. Brother-in-law likes fishing, the kids (used to) like fishing, but we're all at a point where it's rare any two of us have time off at the same time.

Took the kids sea fishing for an afternoon on our last holiday. Caught mackerel and some unpleasant looking spiny things, threw spinys back but took the mackerel home and cooked them up goodly.

Do you need a license or permit to fish in the UK?

Mackeral are bait in the States. Chop em up for chum, and get the spiny fish (Sculpin) and others to show up. Preferably sand shark.

My kids and I love to fish; piers, barges, boats (sea) river banks, bridges (freshwater).

My daughter landed a baracuda and a few red snapper at Scouts SeaBase this summer.

Lads, what if we organized a forum fishing meat up? Serious. It's a bit late this year with summer winding down, but next year?

they do make great bait, but it's a shame more people in the states don't appreciate them as good table fare.

Tbf this was specifically a mackerel fishing trip so I assume the guy steering the boat used some sonar shit to find a school of them (I have no idea how it works). It's an easy trip, 2-3 hours tops, guaranteed to catch plenty, I figured it was a good intro for the kids.

Maybe it's the reality of the YouTube generation, but if something isn't fun within half an hour my kids have moved on.

I did something similar years ago off the Isle of Lewis. I think mackerel are just dumb AF and the skipper knows where to find them.

They taste delicious fresh through, much better than from the supermarkets which must be a few days old.
