Piers in winter time?

#1 Post by Paramedic030 »

Hi all!

I'm looking for some spots for the occasional Mackerel in winter time off a pier along the West. Any ideas?

I'm based in Mayo so the North West might be handy!

Thx., Patrick!

Dont think u'll get Mackerel when winter hits. There is plenty of rock marks and piers down the road in Sligo if you can drive.

Thanks, Martin! Great stuff!

Ballina to Sligo road is just what I'm lookin 4, I'm based on Killala bay so I'm gonna have a look at your hole *oops* and the pier! Suppose, the local tackle experts will know a few spots along the coast, too!

Regs,

Patrick!
