Hook sizes,and best feathers for spinning (mackerel,Pollack)

[Waterford Fisherman]

Hi guys,hoping you can help me.I often fish mackerel,but just wondering,where is best place for them, is flat rocks,Portally cove, and also,does anyone know how to get to Rathmoylan, u go out to the point?remember,like an old village ahrbour,with slip way,etc.but forget how to get there. What are best feathers for this time of year,is it true,red/orange, or white feathers,r best for Pollack. and anything at all will catch mackerel.does anyone think those Hookai feathers r good,with the rubber head,and like a pheasant feather out,browny?thanks for any information ye may have!Paul.

Go to Altitude in Ballybricken or to the tourism office on the quay and get yourself a low scale map of the ares, number 76 i think, and find out yourself where the good spots are, you can walf along the cliffs for most of the way between Dunmore and the Saleens. I find white feathers on 2/0 hooks the best for mackerel, but I usually use jellies if I'm also targetting pollack or very small feathers if I'm after sandeels, they all catch mackerel anyway. Good luck

I find Mustad shrimp rigs are the best. They are definitely the job if mackerel are patchy and I know of a few charter skippers who feel the same way plus you'll get lots of bonus launce too.
