i live in edinburgh and the mackerel are here now...i caught 11 at the weekend i also seen a few young guys catching lots 1 guy caught 53 although i dont see the need to kill so many

i know a few guys who have caught lots from a boat in north berwick last week just wondering if anyone has had any luck from the shore im in edinburgh so i go to granton and cockenzie power station to catch my mackerel ill be popping along there soon to see if anything is happening

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/20070423/tuk-...ak-dba1618.html just a warning to anyone planning to fish the sea in or around edinburgh im just wondering how long these things take to clear up as it looks like my mackerel season will not happen this year looking at the bigger picture ..we have some nice beaches in and around edinburgh so summer trips to the beach with the kids looks like it will be a no go unless they clean it up soon

where do you have to go to get a license for the sea ? how much are they?

i will be checking out granton breakwater in edinburgh very soon to see if the Mackerel are here yet it has been a great place to catch them over the years as well as cockenzie power station http://homepages.ed.ac.uk/evah01/venues/venues.htm#2

glad to know this as i released a few last summer which going by your info they will be dead i will pass the word round the guys i fish with cheers
