Ranked by how strongly mackerel show at each mark. The chip on the right is today's live fish forecast.
Best summer/autumn; feathers or small spinners work well on the flood when shoals push in tight.
Reliable in summer/autumn on feathers or small metals; fish into dusk on the flooding tide for best shoals.
Best in summer/autumn; feathers or small metal lures cast from harbour/edges on a flooding tide.
Best in summer/autumn; feather rigs or small metal lures in mid-water on the flood/early ebb when shoals push through.
Summer shoals; feathers or small metals from the rocks and deeper water at high tide, especially with a bit of swell.
Summer shoals hit feathers and small lures; look for tide lines/working birds and fish midwater in the run.
Summer shoals; feathers or small metal lures work best on the flooding tide and into dusk.
Best July–Oct; feathers/sabikis or small metal lures in the tide run near the harbour mouth; dawn/dusk often best.
Summer shoals; feathers or small metals cast into the flow—fish the calmer seams rather than full tide race.
Summer shoals in clear water; feathers/spinners from higher ledges into deeper water—move until you find them.
Summer/autumn; feather rigs or small spinners at the harbour mouth on a flooding tide.
Summer-autumn runs; feathers or small jigs cast from the harbour mouth on moving tides.
Feather rigs or small metals in summer when shoals are present; look for birds/bait in the tide run.
Summer shoals; feathers or small lures work well from the deeper, faster-water edges around high water.
Summer runs; feathers/sabikis cast uptide and let swing through mid-water. Expect better sport at dawn/dusk.
Summer shoals; feathers/strings from higher ledges into clean water—often best at dawn/dusk and on moving tide.
Summer/autumn in the bay mouth and outer rocks; feathers or small metals when fish are showing.
Summer/autumn shoals; feathers or small metal lures from any deeper-water rock ledge when fish are showing.
Seasonal shoals in summer; feathers or small metals cast into tide lines and over deeper water.
Feathering or small metals in summer when shoals push in; early morning/evening can be best in calm seas.
Seasonal (summer–early autumn); feathers/spinners work in clearer water around tide turns when shoals run the strait.
Shoals can come close in summer; feather from the rock sides or cast small metals—best on a push of tide with some wind/colour.
Seasonal summer runs; feather rigs from higher rocks into clear water—mind back-cast room and swell.
Seasonal shoals in summer; feathers or small metals into deeper channels on a pushing tide.
Summer shoals show in deeper water off the rocks; feathers/spinners score when fish are tight in with bait.
