Fished the Smiths on Sunday in Cobh SAC's first comp. Plenty of big mackerel about, caught them unintentionally while ground fishing - they were a bit of a plague at times.
Why not join Cobh SAC - looking for new members....

Out on Sunday from Carlingford - no sign of mackerel and very little sign of other fish.

Coming back, the NW wind was over the tide - I've never seen the Lough as rough.

We saw gannets diving at the blockhouse but there was too little water to risk heading over.

Thick with Mackerel today beside the Cork Buoy. Bit on the small side mind you but plenty of them. Young lad had a ball hauling em for a half hour. He was last out in February, 'this is just like whiting fishing da'....
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D
