Mackerel Cork Harbour

Postby BMcD » Wed Sep 22, 2021 10:58 am

I am thinking of heading down to Cork Harbour with the boat next weekend for a few days fishing. I was wondering what the mackerel situation is like there now. Are they about at all? Any advice would be great.

Thanks for the reply. Had heard they were very scarce. Good to know there is some around.

How did the trip go? We had about 4, off White Bay in July.

Decided not to head down after seeing the forecast, it didn't look to pleasant. We try make trip down again in a week or two, hopefully will get some more settled conditions.
