Mackerel Cork Harbour

#1 Post by BMcD »

I am thinking of heading down to Cork Harbour with the boat next weekend for a few days fishing. I was wondering what the mackerel situation is like there now. Are they about at all? Any advice would be great.

Thanks for the reply. Had heard they were very scarce. Good to know there is some around.

Decided not to head down after seeing the forecast, it didn't look to pleasant. We try make trip down again in a week or two, hopefully will get some more settled conditions.
