Fishing guide

Atlantic Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is a fast schooling predator found in Norway’s coastal waters and the open sea. It ranges from the surface down to depths of 200 meters. Most individuals weigh up to 1 kg, though some can grow as large as over 3 kg. Atlantic Mackerel feed primarily on planktonic crustaceans such as copepods. They strike hard and fast, making them excellent targets for casting with light spinning gear. Their speed and strength on the hook offer plenty of action, and their flavorful meat is a welcome bonus.

If you prefer to use natural baits, then the best way to catch Atlantic Mackerel would be to use Sea Worms on a size #2/0 hook.

If you are more into artificial lures, you should go for some Nano Spoons.

The most successful lure is Green and Black Nano Spoon 2 g, #2.
