Chasing Silver: Mackerel Fishing with Hazel Ann CN373 | Eyemouth Coast Drone Film

Join us off the stunning Berwickshire coast as fishing vessel Hazel Ann CN373 works the waters off Eyemouth in search of summer mackerel. Filmed by drone on 1st July 2026, this video captures skipper Keith Hood, based out of St Abbs, working the North Sea waters where generations of fishermen have made their living. As the mackerel shoals move along Scotland’s east coast, fishermen rely on experience, weather, tides, bird activity and modern electronics to locate the fish beneath the surface. From above, the drone reveals the beauty of this coastline and the scale of the ocean environment these small fishing boats operate in. Watch as Hazel Ann works the grounds off Eyemouth, surrounded by the wildlife that follows the arrival of the summer shoals — including a dramatic close encounter with a Northern Gannet as it sweeps past the drone. Mackerel remains one of Scotland’s most valuable commercial fish species, supporting coastal communities and forming an important part of the country’s fishing heritage. The sea changes every day, but the tradition remains the same — skill, patience and respect for the waters. ⚓ Vessel: Hazel Ann ⚓ Registration: CN373 ⚓ Skipper: Keith Hood ⚓ Location: Eyemouth, Scottish Borders 🎥 Filmed by drone: 1 July 2026 If you enjoy drone footage, Scottish fishing, coastal wildlife and stories from the working sea, please like and subscribe for more. #ScottishFishing #Eyemouth #MackerelFishing #StAbbs #FishingBoats #DroneFootage #NorthSea #ScotlandCoast
