Not sure how the harbour is fishing for them as I'm launching out of Guileen at the moment.
Struggling outside Cork harbour for them. Out on Saturday picked up 3 on the Smiths and a flurry of small 5" ones on the lings. Had a set of 8 hook bulls eyes hanging over the side all day.
Out again Sunday fished for 3 hours with 2 sets of bulls eyes over the side ended up with only 20 mackerel.

A bit late with this but absolutely cleaned up in Bantry Bay on Sat 15th.
Hat-tip to Bantry Bay Charters, incredible day out.
