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

Re: Mackerel Reports '10 here......
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
)
