Hi, welcome to the forums. Did a quick search for you, doesn't seem to be a lot posted for the Skerries area lately. The only recent post would be at

http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... t=skerries

Hope this helps. Don't fish the area myself, but maybe some of the Dublin lads would have a few pointers?

Alright Kiwijbob,

Was fishing on the pier and caught loads of Mackerel on the float.There we loads of people there using feathers,infact everybody was using feathers except me :shock: ,Im surprised nobody was injured as there were hooks flying all over the place.Even had a kid of about 14 telling me that I'd never catch anything unless I changed to feathers :roll: ,and he seemed to think that the sandeel that I was using for bait was what I kept on catching :lol: .I didn't see the point in trying with feathers as it was too easy,at least with the float it's more fun and at least you can give the fish a fair chance.
Anyway moved onto the rocks at the back for a bit of peace and caught a few aswell on the float.A good day out overall and the sun was shining too.Next stop Greystones this weekend.

P.S. Anyone know why Mackerel fishing attracts kids drinking dutch gold :roll:
