My 2024 Experiment with Catch N Cook Mackerel Changed Everything 

Thanks mate for watching and leaving a comment, appreciate it👍

@@briancoles3281 thanks Brian, yeah we’re all good buddy, same to you. Tight lines if you get out mate👍

@@stevie9899-e6j 😂😂I could just imagine, I robbed one of my mums biscuit tins. The thin tin base makes it very easy for the heat to penetrate and get the chips smoking. Thanks for taking the time to comment, it’s much appreciated buddy👍

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing hi pal, I bought two small £1.50 oven basting tins from Asda and will be making a smoker with them today, one is the base and the other is the lid, .......can i ask do you prefer using wood chips or wood dust and why ? I popped up to Glasgow Angling Centre yesterday for some but they were sold out , so i'll order some on Amazon. Cheers

@@stevie9899-e6j good idea with the two tins. I tend to just use chips due to their versatility as I use them for other cooking, they’re handy when bbq in, just chuck a few on the coals to give a different flavour. I find that wood dust can burn off really quickly, it does generate a lot of smoke but it can be too much and overpower the fish. Dust is probably better suited to the mentholated spirit burner as it catches with less heat. I’m sure other people will have a different opinion but this is just my experience pal. Amazon is probably the best place in terms of variety and cost. In the chips though you will get a lot of different size chips, I prefer the smaller grade chips and pick out the large chunks and use them for the bbq.

@@stevie9899-e6j cheers for the info mate. I usually wet cure all my hot smoked fish in a brine but on the beach it’s easier and quicker to just put on seasoning. Happy smoking and tight lines for some fresh mackerel mate.

@@bigrossi3258 That’s brilliant David. it’s great to get feedback like this from beginners, as that’s what most of my videos are for. Tight lines buddy👍

@@tonyallen1953 thanks Tony, appreciate the comment buddy👍

@@liammcvey6517 loch Long and Loch Fyne are probably the better places to catch other species. Loch Long is particularly good for pollock, codling, wrasse, conger eels and occasional dog fish. The Clyde estuary will produce flounder and dabs.

I think they are, you’re not going to get them on every cast but there are some big shoals of fish about. Tight lines buddy

@@stephenraisbeck thanks Stephen much appreciated buddy

@@johnmaggiorino4493 nice one John, you can do so many different types of food with a little tin like this, including shellfish👌

@@robertgreen5217 thanks again Robert, appreciated buddy👍

@@Stevie_ONeill_Flyfishing thanks Stevie, appreciated mate

@@thebigfish75 thanks as always Ed. A few viewers have already mentioned about raiding the cupboards for tins. I had a little chuckle just thinking about it as that’s exactly what I did when I was looking for a tin myself😂

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing hahah happy days mate , I'm just about to chap the neighbours 😂😜

@@orlandogarcia9751 thanks buddy any suitable tin will do, the lid doesn’t need to be tight fitting. Some aluminium cooking foil will do. It’s great to know my videos reach wide and far. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, it’s very much appreciated👍

@@Swordsperi Ardwell Loose Bay at the rocky outcrop casting towards the Yellow marker buoy. Really surprised you don’t get any from rock marks in deep water.

​@@PiscatorUK-Fishing thanks

@@napieraerialphotography6785 Not sure Andy, I’ve never heard anyone cold smoking mackerel

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing me either, worth trying I guess? Just threw some feathers from here, no luck :(

@@frankys_cool-channel420 just Arbroath harbour itself mate. You might get some around the beaches there there if they’re there in numbers. Probably better getting a wee charter boat trip at Arbroath for decent numbers

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing ok cheers mate

@@spartafishinguk thanks buddy, how are you getting on with the SIB

@@PiscatorUK-Fishing Not too bad at all mate. had some lovely Codling last week. Gonna try St Abbs this week into the deeper water

@@spartafishinguk nice one mate, I’m looking forward to your future videos👍

@@Alan-iu2el thanks Alan much appreciated buddy👍

@@orlandogarcia9751 thank you my friend, appreciated👍
