Mackerel Reports '11 here...

Just been out in Donegal bay on the Dunai Mara today. Mackerel are very small and not over plentiful. All still a long way from the shore.

Got a few off the back of the east pier dun laoighre this eve over high water, only fished for an hour. A fella i talked to had been there all day and had a fair few fish, he said most were got over low water

Got one at the back of pier in Dun Laoghaire last night, fished for 3 hours up to high tide, very poor.

Picking up a few in fenit. very hit and miss though.

2 hours fishing dun laoghaire pier- no mack, just one small pollock

Dunlickey, Kilkee 25th June - 6 in 1.5 hours early morning.
Bridges of Ross - Mackerel deep but seal robbing most of fish on way in!

Plenty of large mackerel around No.6 buoy in Cork harbour yesterday smaller joeys 3 miles off.

Plenty of macks outside Dun Laoghaire harbour today.

Yappo

picked up 8 macks in around an hour around Roche's Point yesterday evening from a boat. Starting to trickle into the harbour now hopefully. First of the season taste so good.

A few mack taken on boat off Glengad head and Culdaff, Co. Donegal today. Still scarce enough although some decent sized about.

Anto snr and Meself caught 3 each in killiney on the kayaks this evening

Just back from Greystones, got 15 on the beach using a Kilty.

Richie you say that your "Just back from Greystones, got 15 on the beach using a Kilty."
Well done, congrats! Just one questions, I'm assuming that was at the end of the South Beach? (close to Ballygannon). I hear that some Sea Bass have been caught there in the last 10 days or so. Would appreciate 'a steer' on this as I'm thinking of heading out this evening or tomorrow...

A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!

Donegal bay - Bundoran to Rosnowlagh rock marks. Sat 25th June - tried a few times in June and not a single mack.

Hi all,
went out yesterday in greystones, appr. 100 mackarel and 3 small cods on feather. Plenty everywhere, from 100-1000 meters from the Shoreline. ( not tried closer...)
I am sure, that in harbour was caught as well, lots of people were on the pier and rocks around Greystones.

Cheers!
