    They were being caught from the Docks and a few from Nimmo's Pier a few weeks back, not in big numbers. Not sure if they are still about but I'm guessing they might be as I've seen a few people down that way in the last week. Give it a few weeks when they come in big shoals and will be packed as usual.

    But back on topic - yes I heard there was good numbers in in recent weeks so they're in fairly early this year and also notably larger than the last couple of years. I haven't been down myself yet though.

    Been fishing at Nimmo's and the back of the docks at least once a week. Caught one mackerel in June and nothing since. Tried feathers and spinning. I don't think they're in yet.

    One of my colleagues was down in Nimmo's for a walk about 2 weeks ago and the place was hopping with them, must be a bit hit or miss.

    I wouldn't be the luckiest of fishermen it has to be said!

    You often get some in early then they disappear again for a few weeks.
