    well i was down on the bridge in kinsale last night

    there was mackeral there at the end of the bridge furthest away from the town on the left hand side of the bridge
    i was there 2 hours before high tide and everyone else was catching singles,2's,3's and a few guys got 6's

    anyway i caught 1 down deep just jigging straight in over the side and then i got a double hook up,but the buggers fell off the hooks before they got to the bridge rail

    there was one guy who was really doing well so we moved over near him
    my kids were giving out nicely that they were catching zilch so he asked me if they wanted to reel in some of his he caught

    the 11 year old said ya and ended up reeling in a catch of 3 mackeral together,he said it was heavy and hard but he got the rush anyway

    the smaller guy declined the offer this time

    so a big thank you to the random guy fishing on the bridge,he made a great evening for the kids,even if i couldn't get them to catch any

    i'm a bad father!!!!!!!!!

    i will be changing tactics and feather type (foil type feathery things were working,but i ain't telling anyone) and we will return

    they were filleted and cooked and i used the tandoori paste on some and feck they were lovely

    good fishing

    there were plenty of mackerel just off the deepwater quay in Cobh on saturday afternoon. People were pulling in strings of 2 and 3 with feathers.

    Yeehoo good to hear the macks are starting to show up, they're easily one of my favourite eating fish. I'm going to try this evening at a spot near head of Kinsale, will post tomorrow with how I get on.

    Caught 16 mackers off the Old Head of Kinsale (the side facing north-east) yesterday in just over an hour's fishing (started an hour before high tide). Was using silvery type lures (those hooks with the plastic silver bits coming off them.

    Hi, I'll be staying in Kerry the week after next. Not a fishing holiday really, but was going to bring a spinning rod and reel and see if there's anything to be caught. Would be happy enough with mackerel / pollock, maybe spinning from rocks. Will be in and around Derrynane / Caherdaniel. Any advice on good spots? Tackle? Time and tide? Would be much appreciated, cheers.
