I found this from: Pelagics
A person may engage in recreational fishing for mackerel with a handline or by angling without a licence. As Gary stated above"
daily bag limit of 20 mackerel is now in affect.
Minimum size is 26.8 cm [10.55 in]". And that's measured from the nose tip to the v in the tail (not the tip of the tail fin).

Hi Sandman
These are the jigs I use fishing for mackeral
![6218]()
Out today off McNab lighthouse with a friend and we each caught 20 keepers each
between the 2 of us we released 29 small mackerel.
We caught 5 large pollock and release a lot of small
Friend caught and released 2 cod fish
I use my jig and friend use the mustad jig.
End of trip the pollock took one hook from friend 3 hook jig which is why I gave up on using them.
My jig still has all hooks attach.
Water temp 16 C
