Report:This was only the second ever boat fishing trip for all of us, out of Bangor on the Missy Moo. Managed to pick some cracking weather again. We headed towards the Copeland islands in the hope of some reasonable pollock. At every stop we pulled in plenty of mackerell. We also got a few herring, and one or two small codling,coalfish and pollock.
Nothing of any size except some of the mackerell which were huge.

Mackerel in the Swilly this year have been tiny - like striped sardines!

Artrhur if you see this message bir improvement in the size of the mackerel yesterday and today. We have been out the past two days and loads of mackerel up behind Inch, some of them upto 1.5lbs. Loads of small ones all last week.

Mooring the boat back in the marina at Fahan today and seen mackerel hitting baitfish on the surface, well inside the marina compound! Stacks of sandeels sheltering in the lee of Rathmullan pier yesterday.
