mackeral in howth

Wed Sep 05, 2012 6:39 pm

People: myself and friend

Duration: 7am to 3pm

Tide: rising tide

Weather: calm and sunny

Bait: mackeral

Rigs: feathers

Results: about 50 makeral

Report: went out off howth and had a good days fishing. had about 50 mackeral. we were catching them trawling our feathers, as drifting didn't seem to work. we spent 3 hours drifting and had nothing so we start to trawl and started hitting fish.
we waisted a good bit of petrol but it was worth it in the end. we have loads of bait now to go out for the bigger fellas next time.
regards.... glenn

I was at Red Rock today till 4 I might have seen you. A boat and a kayak were up and back a few times. I managed a ton of wrasse but could not beat my PB. I dropped a pig of a dish yesterday but he did not come back. Nice result on the macs by the way.
