SHORE MACKEREL REPORTS 2021

To get the ball rolling for 2021

Post up reports of catches or the lack of them

went out around Tramore Waterford headland ( in kayack) but still no sign of them about yet

Was feathering about for them today over high tide at Malahide and Red Rock Howth, still too early

No sign of any in Co.Down. I didn't get any from the shore until september last year up here !

None over HW in inner Galway Bay

No sign in south Donegal yet

None over HW in inner Galway Bay

none over low water either - or the rise

Nothing on Clare coast yesterday. A few people out trying.

I have been watching this one with interest. Any reports along the east coast yet? Or is it still a bit early?

Caught one small one just before high water off the end of parkmore pier in Galway Sunday evening

Probably a little bit early, not even catching many on the boats atm, only 2 mackerel caught out of 6 boats last Sunday

One nice one right on the 1lb mark yesterday in Co.Down while fishing for pollack

Several locals reporting good catches of decent sized macks off the North Mayo cliffs and rock marks in recent days. Nasty onshore North winds tho, so extreme caution advised.

West Cork, Baltimore up to Bantry area, shore and boat up to 5 mile out produced only pollack, no Mackerel caught as of yet

Clougherhead/Port Oriel at the weekend - 1 young lad with a rod out at the pier and another on the rocks further up with feathers. DIdnt see them catching anything though.

Tried Balscadden rocks in Howth this morning over high tide but got nothing, won't be going back there with the state of the place either

Gave up on that place years ago ...every lout and his mother up there trying for mackerel leaving the place like a tip

Yep beer bottles/cans and rubbish everywhere, whole place smells like piss

I seriously wouldn't bother stick local gonzo!

I spent a couple of hours in Clogherhead on Wednesday. No sign of mackerel or, for that matter, sprats. I caught a 3-inch Gurnard and a few 2-inch whiting so at least I didn't blank!
