Have promised OH a mackerel fishing trip, just one of the short jobbies to start with, from West Bay or Lyme, but I have NO idea when the blighters are around to be caught; I feel sure there's an expert out there to educate me Thank you!

Water temperatures are maybe three weeks ahead of last year.

Warm, settled weather is best. Some of the kayaking guys and girls have been catching them for a few weeks down your way.

It's going to be a blazing hot summer because the BBC said so.

I was fishing off Brixham Breakwater yesterday-they're starting to arrive, give it another month, try Hopes' Nose in Torquay; almost guaranteed to catch (any fish).
