Tried for macks around Irelands Eye but they were scarce with about 10 in an hour. Went to channel between lambay and portrane .Got more macks and loads of herring. Anchored up and tried for tope with macks and herring baits. Got 1 small Ray about 4lbs and nice huss about 10lbs. No tope but nice to be out again.

I've had too many days in recent years where I'd have been delighted with that catch rate!

The "Herring " we caught were Scad as it turns out. Never had one before and very similar to herring. Yes it was a good day out you are right johnwest.
