County Down Mackerel?
Just wondered if anyone is catching Mackerel on the County Down or Louth coast? When I saw the reports of Killer Whales in Lough Swilly, I was hoping they were following massive Mackerel shoals coming in from the Atlantic, heading for the Irish Sea.

The mackerel are in all around the county down coast, I was just outside downpatrick fishing last Sunday and caught 10 an about an hour. They are not in great numbers but they are in. (Few big ones too)

Re: County Down Mackerel?
They are in at greenore but not in great numbers, so they are probably in at kilkeel/greencastle etc as well...
Good things come to those who bait.
