Shore Mackerel Reports '13 here...

[Richie07]

Got a few today at Bray, very large bigger than normal.

[srameen]

I blanked today while a guy beside me was steadily reeling them in.
Same distance casting, same spot...different results.

Where were you and at what stage of the tide?

Few being caught off Skerries pier,,if ya don't looses your scalp to drunkin bashers, used to be a grand spot to sit a float fish your problems away, now it's full of vodka drinkin, salami eating, fish takers.

Yes they are there but some amount of lads there too, u would be doing well to get a spot , unless u go early morning but still might not get a spot

[roryodonnell]

It's Ironic, everyone complains that they can't get a spot 'cause of all the bashers

[Richie07]

Loads today at Poolbeg Lighthouse, full houses and 3's and 4's coming up quite a bit, I got a couple for the pan I was more interested in Bass, loads fishing didn't really enjoy it, too much messing going on.

Serious amounts of good size mackerel at Ballycotton pier yesterday evening. They arrived about three hours before high tide. Was glad I got there in good time about forty mins after I arrived the place was packed. There was a cottage industry going on the husbands were catching the fish and the wives were de-hooking and packing away.

Reckless stuff going on I saw one woman doing an off the ground cast on a crowded pier FFS!!

Also caught what I think was a greater sandeel aka launce- am I right?

[ste c]
