Use feathers but no more than three,pick a set with a good heavy main
line50 or 60lb,use a plain 5oz weight & launch them out,allow them to
hit the bottom before you start to sink & retrieve. If you dont get a
bite after a few casts pick a different direction & try again. When
there are mackerel about it will be packed & every one will be after
them so be prepared for combat fishing especially in the school holidays.
