Hi

Just wondering if anyone has had any recent shore successes in or around Garryvoe or Ballinwilling east Cork? I've been out sporadically during the summer but generally speaking results have been poor.

thanks

Thanks fellas, does this mean mackerel are about? I thought the summer was pretty much a non-event (spent my time on Ballycotton pier), maybe the milder weather is keeping the window of opportunity open a little later than other years?
