Not sure about Cockenzie but Granton is fishing OK just now so I'd expect Cockenzie to be similar. Most people mackerel fishing round here will be using feathers (or similar rigs) which are very effective.

 

To be honest, if you really want to get the maximum fun from catching mackerel, try using a light spinning rod with a spinner - something like a Dexter wedge or abu koster. You'll soon find that mackerel can give a good account of themselves on light gear

 

Good luck
