Out on a comp on Sat stopped for a few dips out side the harbour on the way to the lings no mackerel caught.
Did run into them on the lings when we didn't need them had to move to get away from them.

Out yesterday for a few hours R&R had a set of bullseye rig out all day fishing at different depths not a sign of a mackerel

Fished for shark over the weekend, and plenty of mackerel when we stopped off Aranmor, in the middle of Galway Bay. Oddly enough we were catching them at all depths, from around 15ft down to the bottom around 90ft.
