Report from bullock harbour is all joey mackerel being caught.

I'm heading to Achill next weekend so will update on here afterwards.
Anyone been fishing out there recently?

I'd be interested to hear how Dun Laoghaire is fishing now too if anone has been out there.

I will probably be out of dun laoghaire today and tomorrow - where are the good spots for mackerel there from boat? I appreciate people don't reveal spots online but mackerel are the Fish equivalent of spars

If you have a boat go to bullock harbour in between the island and mainland. Best mackerel spot

Nothing biting yesterday though that may reflect our incompetence, only hand reels with old feathers. Lads we met on dalkey island said there were mackerel around anyway.

Went out last Saturday fishing off Lambay Island 8 of us only caught about a dozen between all of us

Dgamblerbob

Anyone been fishing to castle point/dunlicky or bridges of Ross or west coast in last couple of days

Nothing happening in Rathmullan Donegal. Absolutely nothing!!!

Kat1170

If anglers could specify whether they are boat or shore fishing that would be much appreciated

There's an expansive rock fishing area at Ballyreen just a few mins up the road, if that's what you are after. Right beside the road.

Anyone down around Dunmore East ?

big dan

I was in Achill for the week and fished a few spots, but not one bite unfortunately.

Nothing happening around Kilkee / Dunlicky either

I was in Dunlicky the other evening, 4 hour's and 12 mackerel, I needed 6 for bait and got 2 in the first hour and the rest in 3 casts before it got dark.

Its full of coalies and I had to put on an 8oz weight to drop it fast enough.

The flats in fanore fish fairly well if you can punch out a 5oz lead and 3 feathers 150 yards +

I usually use 15lbs line 3 feathers and an old battered well tuned abu 6500ct old century tip tornado sport gets the distance and out into the current outside which the mackerel travel.

They're like roads and the fish seem to traverse these routes then at slack water they'll become more adventurous and move inshore...

nthclare

Oh yeah I use a 60lbs shock leader while belting out a 5oz weigh with 15lbs line.

No snags at the flats so it cuts down on line abrasion.

Orion

Boat between Moher and Inis Oirr last week - nothing. Picked up a few pollock in the shallows but no mackerel in deeper waters.

It's early yet. Back end of August if I haven't a freezer full I'll be disappointed.

The Enbalmer

Was down in Clifden for the weekendboat fishing.

Between 6 anglers we caught maybe a couple of dozen..pollack were far more plentiful.

Andyp28

Anything around dalkey or greystones

malinheader

Couple of small boats fishing out of malin Head had 20 to 30 mackerel each. Medium size with a few large.

nthclare

There's plenty of them turning up around West Clare, early morning seems to be the best time.

Had several (could have had dozens) there last week. We got about 12 and then stopped.
