Re: mackeral in RI excuse my southern species ignorance, but what is a Tinker Mackeral? Size? Coloration? Edibility?

I think they are basically like your king mackeral,just a whole lot smaller,hence the saying "tinker".I could be all wrong though
I don't have a boat in the water yet,too bad.

Re: mackeral in RI A few years ago I got into good numbers of them in late April off of Point Judith, I would be surprised if they are already in Newport area but it has been a strange winter.
