I have been watching this one with interest. Any reports along the east coast yet? Or is it still a bit early?

[goingfranky]

Caught one small one just before high water off the end of parkmore pier in Galway Sunday evening

Probably a little bit early, not even catching many on the boats atm, only 2 mackerel caught out of 6 boats last Sunday

[barvkelt]

One nice one right on the 1lb mark yesterday in Co.Down while fishing for pollack

[hugo]

Several locals reporting good catches of decent sized macks off the North Mayo cliffs and rock marks in recent days. Nasty onshore North winds tho, so extreme caution advised.

West Cork, Baltimore up to Bantry area, shore and boat up to 5 mile out produced only pollack, no Mackerel caught as of yet

[ekuleo]

Clougherhead/Port Oriel at the weekend - 1 young lad with a rod out at the pier and another on the rocks further up with feathers. DIdnt see them catching anything though.

[Gonzo]

Tried Balscadden rocks in Howth this morning over high tide but got nothing, won't be going back there with the state of the place either

[cd07]

Gave up on that place years ago ...every lout and his mother up there trying for mackerel leaving the place like a tip

[Gonzo]

Yep beer bottles/cans and rubbish everywhere, whole place smells like piss

[cd07]

I seriously wouldn't bother stick local gonzo!

I spent a couple of hours in Clogherhead on Wednesday. No sign of mackerel or, for that matter, sprats. I caught a 3-inch Gurnard and a few 2-inch whiting so at least I didn't blank!
