    Hey, I was just wondering has anyone fished here lately, 3 of us spent yesterday evening there on the pier, there were another 4 people who didn't seem too familiar with the spot either fishing close by and no one caught anything.

    Everyone seemed to be using feathers and we had heard we could fish for Mackerel there??

    Anyhow any info at all would be much appreciated ie - Are there any fish to be had out there or were we wasting our time, its a nice spot so would be great to be catching!
    Thanks in advance for any help....

    DAT, still early yet for the macks. First time yesterday I seen the fry in the back harbour in Rush. That is what normally brings them ashore.

    Try using the hoki mackeral rigs. Guy on ebay based in Dundalk I got them from. 15 quid delivered in 2 days for 10 rigs. 3 per rig. We have tried feathers, spinners and these and the hoki are the best hands down.

    We were going to go out last night but there was quite a swell. 4 headed off in a small inflatable. I'd say they had bruised butts this morning. We were out yesterday afternoon for 2 hours. Boat was drifiting at some speed and quite a swell. Very little doing but we got 3 for our troubles.

    I've actually heard someone talking about those hoki mackerel rigs before, done a search on google/ebay but couldn't find them???
    Anyhow we've been catching Macks out in Howth recently, so the rigs we have seem to work fine.
    Do you always go out in a boat or do you fish any of the piers?
