Fishing

Hi all
Just a quick question.
Say when fishing for mackerel, using feathers.

Is there a chance of catching other types of fish.
Thanks

Black feathers are great for pollock and bright feather with rubber heads are good for cod and both of these will catch mackerel aswell
Often seen lads using tin foil on bare hooks catching mackerel on dunlaoghaire pier

White feathers are a good all-round feather for catching all sorts. Happy fishing ;-)
