As a local, we usually catch Mackerel off Howth in early June when the first shoals appear. But, they only stay for a short time. They seem to move on with only small numbers being caught. They will appear again in numbers from Mid-july well in to September. Dont Give up there are still fish to be caught expecially if you stay in close to the back of the island.
