there not catching much mackeral there at the moment which is surprizeing seems the weather is settled enough,although there seems to be alot of herrings being caught which on the other hand is unusual..

Interesting I was on breakwater early Friday morning 6 til 9ish I had 2 and a lad on the corner of the pier[English accent] did hit a good few but everybody else struggled,maybe 4 or 5 between a couple of eastern European lads on the front of the pier.

That wasn't luck that was skill

Anyone that could catch the amount you caught that morning deserves a big well done.You left the rest of us in awe.

Tip No. 1 for Ballycotton, Let the lead sink to the bottom and bounce it as you retrieve it.

Tip No. 2 all area, If you hook into a mackerel don't be in a rush to get it in a lot of the time it will attract others resulting in 3 or 4 at a time

. Just keep a bit of tension on the line to stop them tangling it.

Thanks for the tips Donal,but your forgetting the most obvious fact in that there have to be a few fish in the area your fishing for any tactics to work
