My Aunty just went to the local fishmongers and bought ONE Mackerel.
Price.........................
£3. 45
Reason...............
'Theres not many caught and we have to buy these in from abroad'
We had trouble giving the bloody things away 40 years ago .
Now tell me I am wrong to keep harping on about overfishing...........But.....
There again.... As a person with an open ( but totally perverted mind). I can see the argument about pretending overfishing isn't happening.
The reason is the fish will become soooo expensive no one will be able to afford them so fishing will stop.
Good argument, and backed by the Mitisibushi freezing of all theTuna
Still I got a 28 lb Cod off spot X on Sunday that was full of roe, so how many fish did I kill that day, because none of those roe will hatch as I had them on toast.
guess that shows what a Hypocrite I am!

Sorry but it was 28 lb,caught from the boat .
But I have put it in the deep freezer, so that in a few years time I can sell it and buy all the grandchildren a house each.
Well if you can't beat them ,join them.
by the way, did you know that the netters are still catching Mackerel in the Solent?

Really? Water temp must still be fairly low then. It is becomming more noticeable how the summer species are hanging around longer and, in some cases like the smoothound not going at all 28lb is an impressive pig  |

Nice fish to land but, I have allways found that big cod ( not the mere 28 lb baby ones,) tend to fight like a wet blanket tied to a dustbin full of sand.
Still at least it as a bloody wonderful weekend, sunshine and not blowing and good to be out there. Fishing at its best!
friend of mine runs two small nets in the Solent , not commercial just fir his freezer and he had two mackerel last weekend down by Boldner.
I have allways wondered if some of them do winter over?
After all how would we know ?
No one fishes for them with feathers in January, most of the netters arnt out, so they could be out there, secretly building a nuclear reactor in the depths of Fiddlers Race , plotting their revenge for us killing their species.
Tell you dude once they get the bomb we are screwed.
And if you think I an going Doo LAA Tatt, then I suggest you Google all about Nuclear Fishion.
They go round all the French nuclear power station outfalls collecting the nuclear waste the French are dumping in the sea,, then swim over to here, where they are building the secret atomic bomb making factory in the warm waters of the Solent ,,that is kept at the same temperature all year round by the sewage that is pumped I to it.
All the people running their hot baths down the plug hole has got to raise the temperature.
Thats why Mackerel have that camouflage pattern on their backs, it's so you can't see them when they are stealing the radio active material.
Did is you know, if you Put the word Mackerel through an Enigma machine, and turn one disk backwards, it de cyphers as ' Aquatic Terrorist'.
The goverment have known about them since the 1940s, that's why they tried to eradicate them with the final fishing solution, when they go so desperate to prevent the Mackerel perfecting the bomb ,the English government even brought in the Russians to help exterminate them all.
But some have survived, and I think that any day now BOOM!!! Bye Bye Everything.
Don't say I didn't warn you all!!!!!!

Sorry false alarm.
Its Nuclear Fusion, not Fishon.
Not a lot to do with Mackerel after all.
Still can't be too careful in today's world.

If the Mackerel have solved the problem of nuclear fusion, they’d make a fortune.
(Probably explains why just one of the buggers goes for £3.45) ……..
