Got a few off Carlingford, mostly near the Imogene buoy, but occasionally from there to the Hellyhunter. I thought they'd never get here - let's hope they stay.

We've had a couple of bonanza days around here (North Mayo) recently, but then they disappear completely. Usually there's always a few bunches of stragglers around in between, but this year its all or nothing.

They were back at pest level off The Real Downpatrick Head (Mayo) yesterday, going mad after vast clouds of sprat. Impossible to get down through them for anything more interesting on the bottom.

Hard to find em in cork harbour yesterday. Was trialling my new boat so wasn't trying too hard. Found about 15 off ringabella. As I washed the boat the wife prepared and cooked them all up so still none for the freezer...
