Fish in the Lower Lifffey

#1 Post by adam.urwin »

Hi, not really a report this but......

I was having dinner on the Cill Airne (Quay 16) last night around half seven onwards and saw a fairly large fish break the surface and swim 'Jaws' style for about 6 feet with a fin out of the water. Couldn't get a good look at it, any ideas? Also saw at distance a number of fairly large fish jumping, I was wondering if they are Mullet of maybe even Macks?? This would be around Sir John Rogersons Quay area.

what do you reckon the chances are of catching them? I used to work in an office that fronted right on to where I saw them and often thought there was a good chance of Mullet. Any tips?
