MACKEREL REPORTS SHORE 2018

Daingean Uí Chuis area, all you want, hour after high tide, good big eatable ones!

Plenty in Greystones from shore, 2 hours or so either side of high tide. All good size had 50 between two of us last week most were at distance.

Fished Skerries and Balbriggan Sat & Sun, an hour before and after evening high tide. Felt like perfect weather but - BLANK - Skerries was wild with Terns and Gulls. Not sure how lads on the pier were getting on. Should have did a recognizance first. In Balbriggan the water was very murky, not sure how feathering works in such murky water ????

Balbriggan pier is either a feast or a famine,when they come in it's great but it's not regular as it's fairly shallow ,I'd stick to skerries as it's deeper .but as u said the murky water definitely didn't help

was out for a stroll in dunlaoighre last night , the harbour is stuffed with sprat, but didnt see anyone landing any mackerel?

Was out at Balscadden in Howth this evening, caught a small pollock on a lure but no one was catching any Macks, zero.
Also as usual the place was in a sorry state, rig wrappers and beer cans all over the place.

Six of us fished the flats back of Dunmore East pier (due cruise ship not allow fish at end of pier) 2 hours before and after high tide, not a bloody sausage, loads of feathers, weights and one rod broken in very rough bottom.
Yesterday Monday pal told me 4 Macks in 4 hours from end of pier.

Caught one off Greystones yesterday on a red lure, lot of weed about only gave it half a hour..

Fished DunLao for about 2 hours last night, joeys about but very little happening.

Stopped by Coliemore Harbour yesterday evening for about an hour.

5-6 people there...two macks caught over all that time.
I had to leave before high-tide...wonder if it got any better.

Greystones beach for an hour, soon after low tide.

Nothing for me or the two other guys fishing there.

Any macs around cork at the moment cobh, ballycotton

The bash is in full swing in salthill...

Any around mayo from the shore?

Ballycotton pier last Sat. 50 minutes at half tide seen only 2 mackerel caught

An hour a nd a half in tramore earlier, not a single mackerel.

Couple of hours from the rocks in Dunmore East earlier. S.F.A.

Nobody seems to be getting much down this way.

A dozen in 5 minutes from Dunmore earlier. Then an hour with nothing.
