When do mackerel arrive in Kerry?

Tue Mar 28, 2017 8:38 pm

Hi

Was wondering if anyone could let me know when mackerel usually arrive around Kerry? Have a week planned mid-May near Waterville. Last year was around Clifden in June and did not see any at all, which left us struggling for bait...

Thanks

you could try Culoo rock on Valentia Island, not the safest place on the planet to fish. fish only on the calmest of days. http://www.independent.ie/regionals/ker ... 22854.html

Kevin should be able to help with the bait http://www.kbfishingireland.co.uk/

Hi Donal - thanks for the reply. Maybe i'm chicken, but looks a bit scary to me.... Will check it out if we have a calm day.

Spent a lot of time in Kerry Last summer on the north coast though and did not see mackerel in any good numbers at all. Saying that i was catching the odd few from may weekend on wards but they where few and far between.
