LRF Fishing: Mackerel on Lures at Brixham

A Successful Dawn Mackerel Session at Brixham Breakwater! Lots of Mackerel caught on Lures, using Light Gear! Great fun! The Mackerel were sat hard on the bottom, so slowly bouncing the lure across the seabed was the killer tactic. When the fishing got patchy in places, I filled the gaps by using my 4g LRF Rod to pick up a few Wrasse. A typical Spring Session all-round!

4g Tailwalk Ajist - Shimano Vanford 500 - 6lb MajorCraft Dangan Braid - Drop-shot
8g Tailwalk Ajist - Shimano Vanford 1000 - 8lb MajorCraft Dangan Braid - MajorCraft JigPara 5g
24g Tailwalk Dageki - Shimano Vanford 2500 - 15lb Sunline Braid - Savage Gear Seeker 12g

Cracking video mate, I learnt a lot from that thank you. It’s given me plenty of little tips for when I venture down to the South/South West for a road trip. Appreciate it.

[PaulLumbard]

nice session with lots of fish, just out of interest what line do you use and what breaking strain thanks for any info.

[Aaron-pugg]

How far out do the rocks go there cuz every time I fish there I’m worried that I’m gonna snag if I let it drop

[JackMeredith]

Great video 📹 👍 I'm heading down in June do you find it fishes better on the flood or the ebb or any particular state of tide?

[Rubblechops]

Always too chicken to send pricey lures down that deep. But it looks like it can pay.😊

[matimus]

How can you tell what sex the mackerel was before you landed it My son wants to know thanks ?

[alanevans]

Thanks Dan, good video of a good session, shame about the rain and the idiot with no manners.

[Adam_Outdoors]

Do you use rubbing leader on your setups or just the braid you mention in description straight through to lure? I'm looking at getting into LRF.

[MrDazTroyer]

I've been fishing the otherside of the water at Churston Cove and caught bugger all. 🫤
