Agree 100% with terry f . I fished a float with a sliver of Mackerel belly cut to resemble a small fish, I had 5 Mackerel, a Saithe and 9 Pollock, Pictures in the Scotland section lolterry f. said:Mackerel strip, the silvery bit cut from the belly.
About 1 inch wide ,4inch long and cut to a point.
Hope it works bud,

It does work, the mistake some people while float fishing is to retrieve to fast, I dont and as you have found out, fish on the retrieve!Snaggletooth said:Just spent a week fishing for wrasse and pollack. No joy with mackerel but plenty of fish caught on rag using a single hook and 3 ssg shot on line. Slow retrieve had the pollack biting hard. Many others on harbour wall were float fishing with a lot less success.
Hope this helps.![]()
