Fishing for mackerel is better on the bottom.

From the point of view of mackerel's own habits, they prefer to move on the bottom, so if there are no special circumstances, you can take the bottom fishing method.

However, mackerel are not always on the bottom, for example, when the air pressure is low and the oxygen content in the water decreases, mackerel will also float, then you can take the floating fishing method.

In addition, sometimes when the temperature is favorable and the light is good, the mackerel may come up to the shallows to feed.

In addition, sometimes the temperature is good and the light is good, so you can also float. In winter, when the surface temperature is too low, the mackerel is usually in the shallow layer; in the warm season, when there is enough food in the surface layer, the mackerel may also come up to the surface. Mackerel like to eat small animals and use mussels, snails, small fish and shrimp, and earthworms as bait. Fake baits such as minnows and beads can be used for roadrunner fishing. Mackerel are also more interested in sweet flavors. Add sweet herbs such as black sugar paste and sweet potato paste to the bait, and the bait will be a bit more attractive. After the bait sinks into the water, you also need to shake it to entice the fish faster.
