Re: Cowes Pier Spanish Mackerel
wow. don't mean to seem harsh, that pic of the slimey was average at best...
ive got them well into the mid 40s. never took pics because they are basically bait..
they are way better bait than eating.
but ppl tell me trevally and couta are better bait than eating. id eat a trevally before anything else in the sea...
all the best, each to their own

Re: Cowes Pier Spanish Mackerel
Yeah, Mackeral are commonly eaten in the uk, great on the bbq when fresh, and very healthy apparently. Slightly different species, but very similar to look at.Nude up wrote:It's funny isn't it I reckon trevally are shocking for eating but fantastic bait couta (no worms) is very tasty and a great bait I have caught slimies both here and in Europe and both taste great.crumpet_avenger wrote:wow. don't mean to seem harsh, that pic of the slimey was average at best...
