i do see an odd anaemic looking one now and again, but what i noticed in a few that were eaten over the last two weeks is they were full to the gills with oil, just oozing out of them

37 joeys put of poolbeg yesterday no decent sized macks in the past few sessions

Had a lot of big mackerel west of the Maharees today (West of Gurrig Island. 10 different species today between 2 of us.

Few decent 1s from dunlaoghaire today

Seem to be all gone in Donegal Bay. Not one all day from killybegs to near mullaghmore.

A few joeys this morning out from balbriggan

Had a good few over the last couple of weekends around Dunlaoghaire lots of joeys.

i was out fishing on a boat yesterday, we were targeting mr mackeral in the south west region of kerry, as there were reports of mackeral caught in the general area a week or two previously and so off we went in hope, happy days as we had a30 or so mackeral on feathers, i wonder if this is the latest in the year they have been caught, can anybody assist?

I believe they were being caught in dunmore east up until late december last year. Well done on getting a few.

Plenty still around the docks in galway from the shore 2 weekends ago

thanks boys, i did realise that you could catch mackeral this late in the year.

A few dozen mackerel caught in Cork Harbour last Sunday (28th Dec) during the Home Nations Boat Team Fundraiser.

Ashur it would have to be Cork wouldnt it... Happy New Year to us all, and here we go for 2015!
