You'll need to use a running ledger rig as they are very bit sensitive, half a mackeral bit indication will be very gentle so keep a close eye on the rod tip. If fishermen are regularly discarding fish guts, then fish around this spot, they've put down ground bait. It's said that mackerel gone past it's best is good but I haven't noticed any difference. I get best results at night on a calm warm evening

Oh and carefully plan out how you will land the fish, if you get specimen size they can impossible to land
