Re: Mackerel Reports '10 here......
Tried Dalky for an hour yesterday morning. Did about an hour of spinning with a jensen pirken. No macs but it was a gorgeous morning all the same. Did pick up two dabs on the other rod all the same. I had about 15 macs from the shore in Dalky last summer. Hope things improve this year.

Heard on the grapevine that Mackies were caught in Ardglass, south down on the weekend.
