Howth Mackeral - Whiting

Hi All

I am Possibly going to launch the small boat on Sat for a run out of howth. Is there any point bringing a rod and doing some feathering for a few pike baits? Any fish knocking about?

Thanks

Adam

Seeing as how no-body replied I am not going to tell you how many dozen macks, pollock and whiting we got, what state of the tide or the successful rigs

or where

This time of year don't care really, What weight was the Pike

sorry adam its been almost a month since i was out at the boat. weather work kids football ect so i wasent able to give any info. but what i can say is i was getting mackeral till i took the boat out last day of oct last year in 30s and 40s on my own so they do hang around hope the trip went well

Ah go on then I forgive you

Yeah it was surprisingly good for this time of year. We got about 30 macks - a good mix of big fat fellas for dinner and around 15 joeys at about six inches which will be perfect for the pike

also got a lot of 4-6 inch whiting which I find are excellent wobbling and sink and draw baits which my mate has had a 20 on recently. As good as smelt for the wobbling. Five pollock from the rough ground on the bailey side of the eye

The pike in my avatar? 26.6
