Easter Sunday in Mayo

Mon Mar 21, 2005 3:02 pm

Hi

I've been given Easter Sunday off to practice my religion (sounds like a song title) and myself and pete from the forum are planning a day's fishing (day as in full day, none of these wimpy three hour sessions....)

There is an excellent weather forecast (light winds, clear, no rain - hey, that's as good as it gets here, we're not living in Valentia :D ) and a big tide of around 12-16 foot predicted with h/t coming around 6 pm.

Have corroborated report of first shore landed mackerel from Achill last weekend (guy spinning for pollack on Atlantic Drive mark at h/t, thought he'd hooked a sea trout!), so the fishing should be getting better. Not seen much sandeel about mind which is a bit odd, be expecting them around now.

Anyone who wants to tag along, drop me a line by pm or post here, and we will arrange a meet. Probably a mix of rock and beach marks with Belmullet the initial target (new marks) and Achill as the fall back option...

Bring your own bait kinda day! :wink:
