Mackerel Tournament

[mamabear]

The annual king mackerel tournament in Southport, NC is the first weekend in October this year. Anybody out there going to enter?

Good luck!

Here it is a year later and this event is coming round again. We didn't enter last year but we sure did have some tasty grilled mackerel after the tournament. Mackerel stew is also a favorite. I can't wait to do this again.

We were visiting Atlantic Beach NC in August a few years ago. People on the piers were catching mackerel everywhere. Some friendly local folk showed us the gear to get and the "quick-jerk" technique that the king's like to bite. We used live mullet and caught a few keepers and quite a few almost keepers. Wish we could've stayed another day!
