There seem to be hardly any mackerel around this year around Dublin bay, i'm wondering what other people have heard or noticed in other areas?

There were noticeably less last year compared to other years, but i believe its abysmal this year, very few being caught at all :(

Well I have been doing a load of onshore sea fishing in the Irish sea up in around Antrim coast also ,,first half hour one day caught 250 mackerel between 8 of us great fishing and big size fish,,,never have eat so much mackerel lol,,but wee also broke a record in carnlough as all we caught one day was Herring which hadnt been in the bay for about 10 till 15 years, think the waters were slightly warmer ,,as wee also seen porpoise in the area which we think chased all the herring into the bay ,,anyway great eating ,,so if your not catching as many ,,we are catching them for ya lol,,tight lines
