Also any good spots if people don't mind sharing the info I know some do not like to tell of a good spot to keep it to themselves.
many thanks
Tight lines

Welcome to the forum mate
The best time for Maccy bashing is right now over anywhere at high water especially if it offers any sort of depth and a flat sea so that's a big tide from Llandudno to Rhyl's splash point and probably beyond
Their either there or not but there's always a chance and the time is now
I love Maccy bashing especially on light gear

Good luck and let us all know how it goes

Remember when choosing your feathers that small hooks catch big fish too but big hooks usually miss the target

Welcome,

I'm guessing you have a Weirauch!

Rhyl is a bit optimistic for Maccy off the shore, Colwyn is a better bet

Like Logger says they are either there or not, probably not!

Welcome to the forum.

As the others have said, Colwyn Bay prom and Llandudno North Shore will give you a lot better chance than Rhyl.

I had some at Colwyn Bay a couple of weeks ago.

You need to watch the weather as its not much good going during or straight after a rough spell when the water is coloured. The water needs to be clear for the Mackeral to feed close in. Fish over high water and silver or white feathers usually work best.

They should be around until the end of September at least.

Thank you all for the nice welcome and the info , I will be packing my bag and checking the high tide times for a trip to hopefully get some nice mackerel for my tea and the freezer .

Yeah heavy but I liked them, had an HW77 in .177 and a HW35Export in .22, my ears still ring from too much pigeon fun with a 12 bore though!

I had the HW 77 and the HW 80,both in .177,the 80 was an older model,but what a tool.
I have got the Airarms S400 classic in .177,had it from new.Logun moderator,Simmons 4-12x40 AO scope
on it,and air bottle and fittings.
I've still got permission on a couple of farms near Chester,but I've not been for a while because of my dodgy foot.it's just a show piece now,I hate getting old.
