Shore Mackerel Reports '13 here...

14 fishing Clogherhead 3 hours before, and 1 after, high tide this morning. Not a thing caught. Water was lifeless!

1 got in renville oranmore only fished a few casts

Got out last Saturday in tramore tide 3hrs into the drop 23 mackerel in 2 hrs. The mate got a few Sunday not sure how many, hopefully there starting to show now

Any idea if they enter the Irish sea through the north as well as south - like the currents do before meeting near the isle of man?

5 mackies yesterday morning in about half an hour, on a kilty before I had to head to work. Kinsale area. Caught just after top of the tide.

well lads mackeral are in and there solid atleast of kinsale me and a buddy reckon we hit the 200 mark

Watched 9/10 guys in tramore this evening for an hour or so, each and everyone of them blanked. Was talking to a chap there who got 2 on the high tide this morning and he said everyone else there at that stage blanked.

Was in Dunmore yesterday evening, herself was fishing for mackeral but just got 2 pollock, had 8 wrasse myself

LOL

Heard dun laoighaire fished well the last few days

Spent four hours trying for Mackerel yesterday off Devil's Rock in Howth, then another two hours off the West Pier, not a nibble. New to the sport, must be doing something wrong!
