Default Winter mackerel! The Good ol Days!

Since there was a lot of talk about Boston Mackerel aka Atlantic Mackerel on my last post I thought I would do a follow up on them. Once upon a time packed party boats would go out a few miles in the ocean and load up on Boston Mackerel this time of year. Cold weather, winds it didn't matter they went out and caught! Burlap bags where full of fish. Not many coolers used back then this time of year. It was pretty much none stop catching once you found them. I'm sure all the old timers like myself know about this great fishing but I am writing this for younger fisherman who didn't experince it and had questions on my previous post. Back then the party boats went out pretty much till they were iced in! How time have changed! If anyone wants to chime in be my guest! It's that time of year!
