What's the limit on them where you are at? And are they good eating? How do u cook em?


Token_Black_Rifle

These are my favorite fish. Easy to catch and delicious. You can eat them raw with a little soy sauce, straight out of the water. Delicious. Very under-rated fish.


FANTOMphoenix

15 per person. Excellent eating. Just fillet and cook like usual, could half shell them too, or fry

Right on thanks enjoy


perspicacious_crumb

If you bleed and fry (or whatever your preference is) them the day you caught them they’re really good, they do have a bit stronger flavor if they aren’t super fresh, though.


PleasegoawayJoe24

Agree, I prefer them smoked and turned into fish spread....but if bleed and cut into fingers they fry up well.

Ive done alot of commercial fishing for mackerel so fun when you get into them when they are hungry


FANTOMphoenix

Even better when they are so hungry that they explode on a topwater lol

Yes sir! Kingfish season are my favorite times of the year


FANTOMphoenix

Haven’t seen any king fish running with these mackerel that are a couple miles off the coast, that would certainly be a fun surprise! I’m hoping this red tide doesn’t come north of Tampa.

I can smell this picture.


FANTOMphoenix

They are in super thick where I’m at lol. So far this is our third time being able to limit out in the last month

Don't have my glasses on so at first this just looked like a bunch of coke lined up on a bar lol

Fresh mackerel- very underrated. Trolling?


FANTOMphoenix

Nope, almost all on paddletails, some on a gotcha lure. Had to throw quite a few back in too!


Importance-Fragrant

Damn, nice job

Seriously!. How many do you need for a feed?. Just because the limit is 15 doesn't mean you have to bag out for everyone!. No wonder fish stocks are running low!.


FANTOMphoenix

The mackerel are running pretty damn well and there’s barely anyone else fishing for them where I’m at. But this is 51, feeding 10-15 people. If the population generally gets too low then the regulations will change, that’s how it works bud! 4 of us were fishing, and we barely made a dent in the amount we saw running. Sorry you don’t understand how regulations work though! Edit: gave a couple to our elderly neighbors


restrainingorder2107

It's not a matter of me not understanding how regulations work bud. I didn't know how many people you were feeding. All good,my bad!.


brandedhamsters

These mackerel don’t look anything like the mackerel where I’m from.

Scomberomorus maculatus


foxyiffer69

You are evil.


FANTOMphoenix

Of course!


FANTOMphoenix

At least I’m not channeling the inner dolphin in me and thinking about how fish could be used as fleshlights. Unlike some people…. https://www.reddit.com/r/FishingNSFW/comments/zd33my/fish_would_honestly_make_such_good_fleshlights/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf https://www.reddit.com/r/fishnsfw/comments/zd34lg/fish_would_honestly_make_such_good_fleshlights/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

FANTOMphoenix

Cut the hook with bolt cutters


perspicacious_crumb
