Mackerel Fishing in Scotland - When, Where and How to do it!

When to Catch Mackerel In Scotland Mackerel are one of the most popular and abundant species for the Scottish shore angler, great to eat and use for bait too. However, they aren’t around in huge numbers all year round so it’s important to time your trip right for the most chance of success. So when should you target Mackerel in Scotland?
