Help with mackerel shore angling spots in dublin

#1 Post by fern »

Hi all.
I'm a newbie in fishing. Spend the last week at howth harbour trying to fish for macks but did not manage anything.
Am wondering if there is any good shore spots for macks this time around?
Will be very grateful for any help. Had a discouraging week :(

Thanks :)

Howth is good. Expect to catch every couple of trips.

Poolbeg is good spot if you can find space in between the vultures down there.
