Winter mackerel from Elphinstone

A cold December day and the mackerel are shoaling close to Elphinstone and the anglers are hot on their trail

Three more for the pot

One string ashore with another coming up behind

Another bucket full

Big cast to reach the shoals

Anglers brave the cold

No elbow room as the anglers turn out in force

Happiness is a string of mackerel

Lady angler reels them in

Grab them while you can

Another full house on the feathers

Another trio for the freezer

Triple take

More feathers in the water than in an old pillow

Big cast to cover more water with lures or feathers
