SEALEGS® IS A REVOLUTIONARY PATENTED CONCEPT IN THE POWER BOAT MARKET Sealegs has been specifically designed and developed to take all the hassle out of the boat launching and retrieval process. The Sealegs system consists of motorised, retractable and steerable wheels which are fitted to specially designed boats to give users a fully integrated, turn-key package. The Sealegs system works by having powerful motorised wheels which give a user variable speed of 0-10km/h (forward and reverse) powered by an on-board 24hp Honda driven hydraulic power-pack. A Sealegs boat can be driven from a storage location, down a boat ramp or beach and into the water – all with the occupants staying in the boat and remaining completely dry!. Once in the water, the Sealegs wheels are easily retracted into the “UP” position and are completely out of the water. The boat is then driven and used as normal. When approaching land, the Sealegs wheels are lowered into the “DOWN” position whilst still moving in the water.
Mackerel fishing tips
Mackerel Fishing
I have a lot of respect for the Mackerel. Have a look at this article I wrote in 2007 about the Mackerel. They are a beautiful fish that taste good and are a great bait for sea anglers. They are powerful and can provide some great sport, but how do you catch them!!!

There a a lot of different methods for fishing for Mackerel and it depends on your location and experience as to which method you should employ. The two many categories are:
Both of these platforms can be sub divided again depending on your requirements. If you want to catch a lot of Mackerel for bait, from a boat, the feathering for mackerel is the fastest way to get results. However if you are on a boat and want some great sport fishing, then a spinning rod with a single lure or SWFF (saltwater fly fishing ) will provide you with some stunning sport.
I believe that Mackerel fishing, offers the new angler a great deal of confidence when setting out in the sport of sea fishing. They are not hard to catch from safe areas, you learn how to cast and handle fish, as well as a little on the best conditions to catch fish – this knowledge can be applied to other species.
The rigs you use differ depending on the Sport level you are looking for. Anything that uses multiple hooks for Mackerel fishing might take away from the fight. This is because the fish pull in different ways and you are fighting the dead weight not the individual fish! So the rigs are :
So you have been hauling Mackerel for years and are a good angler with a sound cast!!! Have you ever considered making more sport from your Mackerel fishing?? A two pound Mackerel on matched gear will provide some great sport, the best being on SWFF tackle. Here are some things to try if you don’t already.
The Mackerel is a much underrated fish. Its tastes great cooked on th BBQ. Get out there and approach your sea fishing with a new out look. Let us know here how you get on, or other tips by commenting on this post about Mackerel fishing tips.
