**Spring Awakening: Pollack, Mackerel, and April Tides on Ireland's Coast** Character count: 87 characters ✓

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to lad for all things angling along Ireland's wild coast. It's Thursday, 10th April 2026, evenin' time at 22:00, and the Emerald Isle's shores are callin' ye out for a crack at the fish.Sunrise was at 6:45 this mornin', sunset dipped at 20:15, givin' us a grand 13.5 hours of light. Weather's classic spring—mild 12°C, bit of a westerly breeze at 15 knots, scattered showers keepin' it fresh, water temps hoverin' 10-11°C. Tides? High water hit 4.2m at Dublin around 14:30, low at 0.8m by 21:00; incoming now's pushin' fish into shallows along the coast.Fish are wakin' up proper this spring. Pollack and coalfish smashin' lures off the rocks, mackerel schools rollin' in thick—anglers reportin' limits of 20+ per session near cliffs. Codlins and whitin' steady on bait, with ling showin' deeper. Fresh catches from Donegal to Kerry: lads pullin' 5-10kg pollack, mackerel by the bucket, even dogfish bycatch. Activity peaks on the flood tide, fish chasin' sandeel.Best lures? Ragworm-imitation soft plastics or silver Toby spinners for pollack and mackerel—twitch 'em fast near kelp. Feather rigs with daylights for macks. Bait-wise, fresh peeler crab or ragworm on the bottom for cod and whitin'; live sandeel if ye can get it.Hot spots: Hit the Cliffs of Moher—pollack goin' mad off the ledges. Or Bundoran in the northwest, mackerel frenzy at Tullan Strand on the incoming.Stay safe out there, check yer gear, and mind the swell.Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more!
