No Ste, that's where I was during the week and there was about 6 other lads also fishing near me and nobody got a mackerel. Hopefully they will start turning up as they are great sport on light gear.

No joy for me yet I'm afraid. Only had 1 small Pollock off Greystones rocks

Going to rent a boat next weekend so hopefully they'll show up in decent numbers
