Scalie Mackerel / any around yet?
Submitted by scano on Fri, 2009-01-09 15:36
Not sure if I am jumping the gun or not but any reports of some Scalies comming through as yet?
Keen to start collecting some bait for Salmon and Tailor and they are always good at staying on the hook (a lot better than Mulie's)
I normally go to Eshed to catch them when they are comming through but I am not sure if they have come in as yet?
any spots or reports where they are currently being caught would be good.
and finally does anyone use them as baits out deep? for Dhuie's and Snapper ect? I myself haven't as yet but I reckon they would work pretty well?
