Michael McVeigh, skipper of the Rosguill out of Downings reports that fishing this year has been sort of OK – not particularly great, but fish are available. Just not quite up to the standard of previous years – for the start of June.
This might be linked to the shoals of mackeral. For past 30 years mackeral have been available in enough numbers during the last week of May. Not 2013. On a few days there were enough Mackeral caught, but most days are seeing just a handful caught for perhaps 2 hours feathering for them.
My view is that the only possible explanation is that they are simply late this year – no option other than wait & see (and of course buy frozen Mackeral / Done)
