Why Knot?
What is it about pulling away from the harbor as the sun comes up that just can't be matched? You have the right bait, the right tackle, the tide is perfect, but still, nothing is certain. That is why it's called fishing, not catching. But for us, fisherman, days like this make it all worth it.

Finding the Bait
Sometimes finding the mackerel is just as hard as locating the stripers, if you can't locate the school you can't get them to bite. Once you find a school of mackerel, you can jig three or four at a time using a sabiki rig. After that, straight to the live well!
Rigging the Bait
I've found, that chunking the mackerel makes for easier fishing, but the fish you do catch are not as large. The chunking presentation.
For a live presentation, a hook can go right under the dorsal fin of fish fresh out of the live well. This will give the mackerel the ability to swim on its own.
