Does anyone know off a spot to get mackerel off the beach, in south dublin or north wicklow. I am looking to get some fresh mackerel for bait. Just don't want be stuck on a pier with the bashers, just want go out for an hour or so and get fresh bait

There is loads of space off Dun Laoghaire pier that you won't get caught up with others. West pier (one nearest city centre) is probably the best. Few mackerel in there at the minute.
