Normal sized feathers are fine for Launce. They've massive mouths for their size. I've caught them on 4 Tobies in the past.

I tried a rock mark in Bantry Bay for mackerel 3 times in the last week, no sign of any yet. I haven't seen any Gannets diving either.

Hi All,
Seems like big variation from around the country at the moment. Anything along the south coast?

Please give a clue if you're boat fishing, I had the pleasure of a blank from the rocks around Kinsale last week while watching a pair in a boat just outside casting distance catching string after string full of macks (didn't make me one bit very jealous :shock: )
