No mackerel Sunday June 9th near Lahinch, fishing both sides of the high tide. I managed to hook a few pollock but no keepers.

[srameen]

3 hours before and 1 after high tide yesterday at Clogherhead. Around 10 people fishing. Plenty of small Pollock but not a Mackerel in sight.

[Tony T]

Any in Belfast lough yet?

[pollocks!]

Anybody hear anything from Tramore or Boatstrand? Thinking of hitting high tide tomorrow am early.

2 rods fished Sunday in Boatstrand, 9-10am. Nothing (falling tide). We went around to Brownstown head for a look and met some people who had 1 mack between them.

[srameen]

Blank at Greenore yesterday. Just 2 people fishing for 3 hours up to high tide.

Personally I don't enjoy feather bashing. Balsa float and 4lb line is far better sport. Unfortunately you can't use this technique when its blowing a force 6. The bad weather is a killer for me.

you cant beat a light rod with a float great sport or a light spinning rod,but when you need some bait for the ray or freezer thats when the feathers come into play for me

[bassboy]

Yeh same here I love getting them on lrf gear but if I need for some bait I will take out the feathers

[Al and Jordan]

spent the weekend up around fanad head and the mouth of mulroy. spinning into deep water over 2 high tides and not a single one to be found. a few mates were up that way too and it was the same for them. and the same results at rathmullan. not looking good lads

it was a nice day today

[bassboy]

Yes it was a gorgeous day today but I couldn't go out to the sea because my dad was working so I had to settle for my local river I caught minnow stickleback perch and a brown trout,not bad for a few hours fishing but I would have loved to head out for the macs

[sparkey+1]

Was out in Howth for a drive with herself and the place was filthy with litter all over the pier and the place was crammed with bashers and was told not a fish caught... and that was at HW... so looks like they arenot in pity bait fridge in short supply and need fresh for the weekend....
