Shore Mackerel

#1 Post by Qweruk »

Anyone having any luck with mackerel from the shore yet this year or is it too early?

I've been trying off Skerries harbour last two nights with no joy, there has been reports of the odd mackerel being caught on a few Dublin marks over the last few weeks though. Sea temp is 14°C so it should be picking up any day now!
2025 shore species: Bass (1), Dogfish (1), Flounder (4), Whiting (4)

Thanks! I might start targeting them myself might be a bit early but there’s surely a few close into shore.

Been out around Dunlicky/Kilkee cliffsin Clare a few times myself in the last week, some nice sizes but few and far between for the length of time spent out, had caught more from 7:30 - 9pm when was there, did start about 5 ish give or take a few, left just before dark

Not one in Greystones last weekend, perfect conditions, rising tide to high tide.
A bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office!
