Plenty just out of Dunlaoghaire harbour this evening .I was out with the kids and didnt wet my own line for sorting out their tangles and removing fish.Filled the box and had to come back in after an hour .Probably just as well seeing as we were all soaked anyway with constant drizzle .

For the west pier casters they were well in casting range at times .No one fishing there tonight .They must all be fair weather fishermen .

Alright mate was out in Dun Laoghaire last week and caught four Mackerel at the back of the east pier, was talking to a few of the lads fishing along the pier and they say the mackerel are scarce at the moment around their , they seem to be their one day and you mightnt get another one for a few days, dont know about the rest of the city havent heard anything.
