Few macks outside Dun Laoghaire Harbour today and off the forty foot. No major shoals but enough to keep a few for the pan and tp keeps us going with fresh bait.

Killala Bay solid with them yesterday (Sat) morning, so much so it was impossible to get down thru them to find anything else. After an hour or so we got bored and went back in to avoid the approaching rain. They're still a good size and condition, no joeys among them.
