Introduction

In this video, we embark on a commercial fishing trip with the goal of filling up our box with mackerel. We have a secret weapon - a Mel Gurdy and a Mel stripper.

Setting Up the Equipment

We start by setting up the 20 hooks on the line, ensuring that the line runs smoothly through the guide and rollers. This setup helps prevent tangling and ensures successful stripping.

First Strip Mac

Despite losing the first one, we quickly get into the spirit of things and start catching mackerel using the Mel stripper.

Using Feathers for Bait

We experiment with different bait options, including feathers of varying sizes. Our results show that smaller feathers are outperforming the larger ones.

Feather Size	Catch Rate
Small	High
Large	Moderate

Key Takeaways

Experimenting with bait can lead to unexpected results.

Fishing and Catch

We continue our successful fishing trip, catching sardines and herrings alongside the mackerel. Our catch includes a variety of sizes, contributing to an overall successful trip.

Conclusion

Despite encountering some challenges with the equipment and bait choices, we manage to fill up our fishing box and are looking forward to enjoying the catch.
