[corbyeire]

People: myself and shamoo

Duration: 3 hours saturday evening, 3 1/2 hours sunday morning

Tide: high 7am

Weather: humid dry except for saturday night a few showers

Bait: taz devils

Rigs:-

Results: 1 shad sat evening, 7 sun morning

Report: after missing out 2 days thurs and fri for one reason or another got down to st.mullin eventually

to be honest we expected more people there - were convinced we missed the run

but started spinning anyway - plenty of fish jumping before high water

after few casts shamoo had a brown trout - spirits lifted we kept at it and mark was first into a shad - he was using blue - he then had 2 more on pink and green i think???



i stuck to grey/silver as im awful lazy and as things looked bleak i eventually got one after 2.5 hours

stayed another hour moving along the bank and eventually headed to the bar with darkness

up at 6.30 on sunday morning and the fish were far more frequent - mark had 10 and i had 7 - they seemed to prefer the green/pink combo for me

met a good few heads off the site there also - all the anglers we met were sound and very chatty

great spot to go and try - in a picturesque location - will definitely be back

Fair play lads, ya's look tired in them photos though what time did ya's leave the pub at?

unfortunately over the 4 days - too much drinking was done - with only 4 sessions - but you have that

Good work lads, I'm glad to hear that the fishing picked up on the Sunday morning as it did seem to be very quite on Saturday evening with not too many being caught. It was good to meet yourself and Shamoo as well, always good to meet some heads off the site and put a face to the name.
