Conditions: Warm with strong offshore wind.
Result: Blank
Tried again out in Skerries pier tonight for mackerel, also bought a set of squid jigs and gave that a go! What I tried was first I'd charge the glow on the jig, then cast out within distance of the light from the pier, let it sink to the bottom, then sweeping up 2-3ft and let it sink while reeling in the slack then repeat until it was right under my rod tip, a few jigs and I'd reel it in to charge the glow again. No luck at all except for a bundle of rope

No mackerel on the sabikis either!
