Hi, man,
I was out on Friday night, they're everywhere. Some small, some really big. One of my mates caught some from the shore in Rosmoney, which is unusual to say the least. Fish for them on big tides.
Cheers,
Skateboy. :wink:

up till a week ago there was good enough numbers off dun briste,,,,the water is still black at the moment so mackerel numbers will be very low,,,if the rain stays away,,the blackish water will blend away and we should then hope to see the macks back in force,,,give it a day or two
