I had one about 3lb or so quite a few years back. Took a whole calamari.
Destined for the frying pan I gutted it. It was absolutely rammed with crab prawns little fish. I dont know where the squid was going as stomach was packed solid and no room for owt else

Yes they do!!!
I’m grew up in west wales and did loads of bass fishing.
Apart from live mackerel I also got them on whole edible crabs, two foot long king rag and whole launce.
Lovely fish you have there!

Unfortunately they’re few and far between in the east coast of Scotland I do miss them.
There’s loads of cross over on the techniques used for them and pike.

Cheers

we catch the bigger fish on quite large mackerel lives, or life size mackerel lures ....and large sand-eels over a foot long and as thick as your thumb.......

We used to catch launce on small mackerel feathers..
.then thread a hook through the mouth and out the gills and lightly snick it in its back behind the head.
Target was bass but fishing off of eddystone light we caught mainly cod and some whopping great pollock

They don't fight any less on a 30-50lb class boat rod either

I used to catch them off the beach in a Seine and then free line them live off the rocks. Works just as well from the shore.
Scared to use a Seine these days for accusations of going after bass or sea trout.

remember going to Ireland in my twenty's with the local sea-fishing club , ended up catching a 21lb Pollock .... fish of the week actually picked up a club trophy for it too...
think is was westport or west point , but the sea fishing was out of this world , big cod huge coalies , Pollock , brill , turbot ,we had a fantastic time 5 days fishing and the digs were good and the hospitality was second to none ........the landlord of the digs even let us have is car so we could explore the area as we also took some beach fishing gear with us ....
what a place..... is was like stepping back in time in the village .....brilliant ,bet it has changed know though ........anybody know the area
