Were you fishing into the harbour or on the outside of the pier? And which pier was it?

Out off kinsale last saturday..four mackerell for three hours with four rods..weather was bloody appaling and we had to head back early.

As an ex-native of Cork and frequent visitor, where off Kinsale do you fish? In it by boat?
Is access to the old Head of Kinsale gone completly these days? This was the most popular spot on Sundays for rock fishing (a national treasure sold to a flamming golf club).

About bloody time. Went out on a boat near Dun Laoghaire harbour today and got 38, my mate with me got around 50!

Were u out for long ? What side of the harbour were u fishing ? You reckon they'd be in around the harbour ?

faigs

Around the mouth of the harbour seems to be good. We were out for nearly 4 hours, drifting around, but you'll find a sweet spot and better off staying there. Closer to the East Pier was good for us. 5 on the line a couple of times.

was out at poolbeg lighthouse for 4 hours today and nothing. One other lad beside me got 4 in the same amount of time. Very dissapointing

It was around the head at a spot thats hard to get to;). Its good for pollock! They were mackeral size but me and a mate got them to 3 or 4lb before with bait(crabs).

I am also off this evening for a few Macks, Annestown area.

2nd time doing shore fishing, normally fly fish lakes/rivers.

Sure we'll see what turns up.

I have been fishing from coliemore harbour and surrounding rocks over the past week (was last there on Wednesday). I caught one mackerel and didn't see anyone else catch a thing. Anyone I spoke to said that they hadn't caught anything in the last couple of weeks.

Went off clogherhead on the boat thursday, water was crystal clear no wind and not many macks! Only 20 caught in something like 2hrs, it was really odd!
