BOAT MACKEREL REPORTS 2020

To get the ball rolling for 2020

Post up reports of catches or the lack of them

Got two small ones and a herring close to shore off balbriggan yesterday

They’re early.. good sign!

Only had 1 in 2 hours off Bullock harbour , heading out of Graystones this week so will report back.

Courtmac full of them, and all very good in size. Freezer full for the season in 45min.

Had a nice few about 3 miles off Power Head. Getting them 4-5 a drop and perfect pan size.

Got 3 out from Rush today in 5 hours fishing..

Out of Dun Laoghaire today, only had about 20 between 6 anglers. All fish were small.

Mackerel gone very scarce out of Cork harbour in the last week or two.

Got 2 small ones at the Rockabill and 2 fairly decent sized ones outside the harbour at Lambay today

Out of Guileen today #hits loads of 6/7 inch mackerel about 2 miles off.

OOH, had these as a by-catch

7 between 2 anglers today off Lambay

90 mackerel between 3 anglers off lambay today was non-stop lads! there in!

Mackerel fishing was poor around Lambay today, only caught 5 between 2 anglers.. desperate!

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.

Good few joeys about at Lambay today

Mackerel everywhere in Dublin, mostly very small though

Mostly joeys off balbriggan with the odd bigger one but plenty about
