[KERRY1]

People: Me, K2 & Tom H

Duration: 3 hours

Bait: Bread

Rig: Float

Tide: On the flood

Weather: Cloudy and wet

Results: 1 mullet

K2 and myself headed out to the mark where we intended to fish and when we got there we met up with Tom H.
We all started scanning the area for a while to see if there was any fish about and sure enough there was.
We started fishing, ground baiting again with bread and the fish did show an interest in it, nudging the floats and swimming past them having a look at what was there.
Quite a few bites where missed during the session much to all of our frustration.
K2 had a fish on but lost it and Tom missed so many bites as well and that was when we all thought it just wasn't going to be our night.
The rain was heavy, we were wet and cold but we stuck at it because as you will know if you have ever fished for mullet before, just when you don't think anything is going to happen that's when it usually does.
And sure enough, just when Tom H had given up and had decided to head for home, K2 spotted a good group of fish arriving and encouraged Tom to start fishing again.
He did and happy days after approx. the third cast in a mullet was hooked!
It give him quite a good fight before finally surrendering and going in the net.
No specimen's tonight but still a nice wee fish caught all the same.
The size of the fish isn't the most important thing, these buggers are hard to catch and so when you are successful in getting one then the last thing on your mind is what size it is.
We all reckon it weighed approx. 2lb.
I took the now routine picture of the fish with it's captor and it was put back in safely to swim another day.
The picture was taken on Tom's camera and he is going to upload it onto this report later on hopefully.
After that it got quite dark and it started to get hard to see the float.
We were also soaked through, I was the worst having only a pair of wellies on while the other two had their waders so at this stage we decided to head for home.
Another great night's fishing was had by all and I know that there will be many more to come before the summer is out. I can't wait!

That's great news about Ronlad catching another specimen. He's getting too used to this
I bet Davy is so pleased for him, I don't think he has caught a specimen this year yet has he?
Give him time, he will have by the time the summer is out if last year is anything to go by

sometimes mullet drive ya to wanting to sleep, especially on an average mullet session, or even worse, a bad mullet session, well done on getting the mullet, a nice fish and a mullet of any size is a decent reward in my view

[dan]

this picture is just as bad i think.
