Rock-a-Nore Fisheries The Stade Hastings East SussexMore information:
mackerel Scomber scombrus caught within the Eastern English Channel, specifically between Beachy Head and Dungeness, and offshore to the six mile limit by drift nets. Fishing is undertaken by boats under 10 metres stade-launched from the beach at Hastings. Fishing for mackerel is at a relatively low level (around three to five vessels only). . The Hastings-based fleet uses a number of different gear types but the gear covered by this certification is the drift net. The mackerel drift nets used are monofilament drift nets of 55 mm (2”). These are usually set around 4 metres below the surface, with a total net depth of around 10 metres.
