BOAT MACKEREL REPORTS 2015

Keep it simple

Fished for a couple of hours yesterday morning south west of Capel Island, Youghal no sign of any mackerel

Fished two days out of Crosshaven with Whispering Cloud boat . 1st day had about 40 macks in an hour 6 rods. 2nd day same , enough for 6 rods in about half an hour. Had reasonable mixed fishing over two days, codling to about 5lb smallish pollack conger to 24lb and some decent ling.

I was out off greystones Saturday and Sunday no sign of mackerel yet ..

Fished the Smiths on Sunday in Cobh SAC's first comp. Plenty of big mackerel about, caught them unintentionally while ground fishing - they were a bit of a plague at times.

Started to show in Galway Bay, had some last night.

Half a dozen in two drops over the smiths bank this morning. These were the only macks amongst the cod, pollock & whiting in a 3hr session.

Out on Sunday from Carlingford - no sign of mackerel and very little sign of other fish.

Coming back, the NW wind was over the tide - I've never seen the Lough as rough.

not a sign of one in Dublin bay today or last saturday either.

We saw gannets diving at the blockhouse but there was too little water to risk heading over.
