No mackerel Sunday June 9th near Lahinch, fishing both sides of the high tide. I managed to hook a few pollock but no keepers.

3 hours before and 1 after high tide yesterday at Clogherhead. Around 10 people fishing. Plenty of small Pollock but not a Mackerel in sight.

Any in Belfast lough yet?

Anybody hear anything from Tramore or Boatstrand? Thinking of hitting high tide tomorrow am early.

2 rods fished Sunday in Boatstrand, 9-10am. Nothing (falling tide). We went around to Brownstown head for a look and met some people who had 1 mack between them.

Blank at Greenore yesterday. Just 2 people fishing for 3 hours up to high tide.

It's funny how as soon as the good weather is gone nobody's even talked about the macs

few knocking about poolbeg

Personally I don't enjoy feather bashing. Balsa float and 4lb line is far better sport. Unfortunately you can't use this technique when its blowing a force 6. The bad weather is a killer for me.

you cant beat a light rod with a float great sport or a light spinning rod,but when you need some bait for the ray or freezer thats when the feathers come into play for me

Yeh same here I love getting them on lrf gear but if I need for some bait I will take out the feathers

spent the weekend up around fanad head and the mouth of mulroy. spinning into deep water over 2 high tides and not a single one to be found. a few mates were up that way too and it was the same for them. and the same results at rathmullan. not looking good lads

A few taken at Poolbeg yesterday.

it was a nice day today

Yes it was a gorgeous day today but I couldn't go out to the sea because my dad was working so I had to settle for my local river I caught minnow stickleback perch and a brown trout,not bad for a few hours fishing but I would have loved to head out for the macs

Was out in Howth for a drive with herself and the place was filthy with litter all over the pier and the place was crammed with bashers and was told not a fish caught... and that was at HW... so looks like they arenot in pity bait fridge in short supply and need fresh for the weekend....

Anyone catching any around Dungarvan?

Out today on dun laoighaire east pier, 1 pollock no macs
