Mackerel & Pollock fishing in Sligo

#1 Post by Rhonin »

Hi folks.

New to the site :)
I mostly fish when I head home at weekends to Belmullet.
I currently live in Sligo but never went shore fishing here so I'm looking for some places in Sligo to fish for Mackerel and Pollock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
