Sea Angling Ireland

Hi All,

Just wondering if macks are still around in the west of ireland since our water temp is currently playing in the 13 to 15 degrees.

Thanks,

My nephew caught 30 mackerel in an an hour in Wexford on Sunday, still loads about I think

In big numbers now close to shore in Donegal

3 of us kayak fishing inside Bere Island last Saturday had 20-30 each, not actually looking for them. I'm thinking mackerel season has changed, I'd 10 in Cork Harbour in February while looking for other fish.

Any about in greystones or dunlaoghaire

I've had mackeral in November off skerries pier,and I've caught them in January in berehaven cork,I'd say if it's deep water you have a chance year round on the west coast ,try mack strip on the bottom if there not taking lures or feathers

cork harbour yesterday by boat 3 people fishing only 2 macks one was tiny fishing was tuff plenty of whiteing around, a few other fish were caught pollock coalie 3 dogs but over all fishing was tuff

Still a good few around out in Dublin bay.

Still plenty around Balbriggan ,very small though

There were areas of red bay stuffed with mackerel last week. A variety of sizes
