Mackerel

From my experience fishing around UK and Scandinavia the weather does not matter much for the fish, but the temperature of the sea.
They should be around Britain since a couple of weeks.
Lovely fish, I hope you catch lots and lots! Happy fishing and eating!

They'll be in any day now, I think. As mentioned above, the boats are catching them in moderate numbers so it won't be long before they're being caught from the shore.
They seem to be getting later every year in this pert of the UK (Wales). Last year there were none in any significant numbers - well, none that the beam trawlers didn't get.
Interesting........
Wonder if the Gulf Stream is weaking and you are getting more cold water over you?
Here, the Gulf Stream is getting a tad warmer earlier each year.

We are now in our house in the Lofoten Islands. Last night we got the boat and drove it home. Fished a bit, wife wanted fried mackerel.
Got none, but some nice sized Coal fish.
Locals say though the Mackerel are plentyful this year.
Will go out later today.

We found a good shoal on the kayak last night, managed 20 decent all of a good chunky size, we released half a dozen small ones and dropped a dozen on the way in. Also managed 3 codling, one was borderline in size but they all went back. A few will get frozen down for future bait, but the majority will be thrown on the bbq! Yum!
