Mackerel are not the hardest fish in the ocean to catch, I will at least admit that. They are, however, a very exciting game fish to fish for though. The coolest part about fishing for these neat looking creatures is that you do not need a boat. Yep, you don't have to pay all of that money for a fishing charter or guide. Will you probably catch more fish with a deep sea fishing guide? Usually you will, but you can still catch a good many without a guide. I will show you how I catch mackerel from the shore.
When I am trying to catch mackerel from the shore, I always use lures, more specifically a gotcha lure or a spoon. Mackerel love these fishing lures. On several occasions, I have successfully landed over twenty Spanish mackerel while fishing from the shore. I usually either wade out into a couple of feet of water or go out to a pier. The method is actually quite simple. All I do is go out early in the morning and look for schools of bait. IF you find the bait during prime feeding hours, then you will more than likely find the mackerel.
Once I have found the bait, I simply cast near them with a gotcha lure and hope for the best. I pump the rod when using this plug pretty fast, because I usually get more fish that way. That's about it folks, I hope that this information helps you to catch more mackerel in the future. Good luck fishing for mackerel.
