I know its a bit late in the season for this but I have read so many threads on different forums concerning the lack of mackerel this season.
I thought I would start a thread where people from different regions could post the areas that mackerel are CURRENTLY being caught or areas that they have tried and failed to catch. Im not asking for particular marks if you dont want to give them up but most mackerel venues are well known.
If the thread is successful and people reply it may save some wasted trips to unproductive marks.
In North Clare at the moment catches of mackerel are patchy and strong winds are holding them off shore. Even one day of good weather brings them within average casting distance. Fish seem to be fewer but larger this week. Most productive marks include The Flats at Ballyvaughan, Blackhead and Ballyreen. All these marks suffer the normal problems associated with mackerelbashers, litter, bad parking and bad fishing practice.
