    Caught one in the Caherciveen region yesterday at low tide off the shore after about 2 hours. Probably would have got more if I'd stayed for the tide to come in. Moderate size, alright for the pan.

    Some being caught off the pier in Dun Laoghaire but they are very small fish.

    They seem to be getting scarcer every year

    Looking to fish for mackerel off the pier in Enniscrone or Killala, what bait should I use?

    Feathers or a "German Sprat" spinner.

    Haven't got out at all this year due to young family, work, no time!! Want to plan a day fishing off the rocks/pier, is it getting a bit late?

    You should still get them for another while. No harm get out and give it a go anyway!
