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?

The Glasgow City Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was introduced on the 1st June 2023, but there have been no changes for our staff and customers getting to the Glasgow Angling Centre as we are outwith the boundary of the LEZ and completely unaffected by the restrictions. Getting to us is easy via the M8 Motorway: If you're travelling Westbound come off at Junction 16 If you're travelling Eastbound come off at Junction 17 Glasgow was the first of four cities in Scotland to introduce a Low Emission Zone (LEZ), on 1 June 2023. Zones in Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen will take effect in June 2024. If you are planning to head into Glasgow you can check your vehicle's compliance online - you might be surprised at what cars are still allowed (or come see us first and walk into town instead). Where is the Low Emission Zone? The zone is defined on the North and West by the M8, by the River Clyde on the South and on the Saltmarket/High Street in the East. Signs have been erected both at
