Shouldn't be long now. Sea temp in dun laoghaire 12.8 degrees. As far as I know 13 degrees is the magic number.
List 2010. fish
List 2011: less fish
2012: less fish again,
2013: even less fish.

Re: Mackeral fishing Dublin.
Has the scarcity of Mackerel meant no "Shore Mackerel Reports" anymore
Or do I just need glasses

Re: Mackeral fishing Dublin.
Spent a few hours in Rush fishing for Macks today. Not a dicky bird
Glorious day though
Not sure how Skerries is doing but think I'll have to head south of Howth to improve chances. Any good reports coming from Dún Laoghaire or Greystones
Tired of eating Lidl mackerel ---- Something to read while waiting, found some interesting articles dealing with the decline in mackerel numbers especially over last few years. http://www.anirishanglersworld.com/inde ... -mackerel/ ---- Very interesting
