When posting a report it might help others if you mention what part of the tide you were fishing at.

Sunday 14th July
The castle Kilkee, early morning, the most beautiful morning ever, hour and half after high tide. 3 fishing, after 40 minutes guy, professional looking with 9 feathers on, caught 4 mackerel on one cast, all good size.
Guy in middle caught 3, I caught 3 good size pollock, swapped them for 3 mackeral. All fish caught at same time.
No more fish caught after about an hour went home.

Fished a rock mark in East Cork from low through to high tide yesterday. A Rockling on baut and a Pollockon a kilty, but no Mackeral. Tried all the reliable lures and even the no hoper lures but conclude they were not around the area.

Apparently mackerel fishing very slow around Dun Laoghaire to Greystones. Any joy round north Dublin or Louth?

No mackerel along Sutton towards Baily lighthouse, I fished the telegraph pole beyond RedRock beach, LionsRock also and. Howth harbour. Early morningand evening, used feathers, hokkais and spinners. The water was thick with bait fish but no other signs of fish at all.
I haven't seen a mackerel being caught around the bay in a couple of years, very dissapointed.
