If you don't catch mackerel off Dunlicky in August then you know there's something seriously wrong !!!

I think most of the people who fish Clare have noticed there is something seriously wrong, very few mackerel have been caught in the last month. I know they didn't really turn up in any numbers until around 25th August last year but we were catching a few before then.
On the plus side many of the mackerel haunts are deserted this year and there is not as much litter around North Clare.
