[doggie3131]

nice one folks!i was looking foward to this report! great pics as well!

[marshpike]

Cracking report and pics, I class estuary Mullet fishing as being one of the most challenging so a big welldone.

[marshpike]

Just one tip with the camera, if you get it wet DON'T turn it on as this is what wrecks it. Take it home and dry it out for a few days before turning it on and it should be fine.

Nice pictures and fish

Thanks razor2 Good luck with the mullet let me know how you get on

well done kerry and company.nice fishing and pics u got there

Cheers Brian, it was a great trip

great report well done the 2 of ye, your very lucky to able to head off for 12 days pure fishing , was that a zziplex i seen in one of the photos

Thanks seanie. We are lucky to be able to just get up and go away fishing for 12 days and no...it's not a zziplex in the picture, I think you have mine! Well, the last thing I knew it was being posted down to you, didn't you get it?!

Great report Paula as usual and some great fishing too

Thanks declan, we had a great time despite the mishap with the camera and fork!

Excellent report and pictures Paula, smiling faces despite the mishap with the camera . Stingray and Tope, hmm, I'd say for tope you have to get on a charter, time to grow sealegs now . Stingray might turn up in the Shannon Estuary when the water warms up a bit if I hear something from the lads down there I let you know. Big well done on the nice fishies

Thanks Martin yes, I was still able to smile although the incident with the camera did depress me for a few hours after it happened. I couldn't believe how stupid I was but it's easy done I guess I wasn't gonna let it spoil the holiday though - no way! Let these sealegs know if you hear anything about the stingray and I'll be down, I'm not giving up on catching one this year yet, I've still plenty of time (I think).

Nice fishing, shame about the camera. I had a disaster last summer with my mobile getting soaked. It was in my trouser pocket inside my waders and we were wading too deep and when crossing a channel to get back I shipped alot of water. Result was a destroyed phone.

Pretty serious stuff if you think about it. When would you like your phone to be working? Answer - just when you are facing drowning! Or just when your phone stops working because its drowned. Not clever at all !

They have a range of completely waterproof cases for mobiles and cameras (I'm not connected with the company, just that I really rate their phone cases). I've been using the mobile case when wading and when its raining and it is very good, as you can use the phone when still in the case and hear OK, and you can see through the case, and you know it will be there and working should you need it in an emergency

Great trip lads no shortage of fish down that end of the country,you seem to have it well sussed in Kerry.. enjoy the coming weeks

Thanks carpets. Your right, there's no shortage of fish but it can be hard to find them sometimes! We've sussed the place out quite well but it's such a vast area you'd need to live down there for years to get to know everywhere. We are looking forward to the coming weeks to go and do a spot of mullet fishing.
K2 caught a nice mullet today - that's us started up here now after hitting them in Kerry - happy days!

cracker of a report paula and some nice pic's was a very good read, but did giggle a bit when you said about the camera, bet you wont make that mistake again

Thanks Don I bet you did more than giggle when you read about what happened to my camera and your right...........I won't make that mistake again! What an eaget I am.

nice one paula.. sounds like ye had a ball and some good fishing too.....pitty you where so hard on the fork,, how is k2 head. did it hurt ....only joken...

Thanks Alan. K2's head is recovering well, I didn't do him much damage. That'll teach him for asking me to help him dig worms when he knows I hate it!

Nice report and pics Paula!Good to see you both are on the mullet.Grtz, Paul

Cheers Paul, the mullet fishing is good crack, we love it. K2 has been fishing for them for years now. I have only started the last few years and I am really enjoying it.

Great report and photos.
Well done on your first mullet.
Sounds like a great holiday apart from the wet camera - one of the hazards of fishing, I have got through about 4 cameras over the last two years.
I am off on a bit of a fishing holiday myself - but abroad, Croatia. The first week just travelling around, then the second week will be purely fishing off one of the islands with a local guy and his boat.

Four camera's in two years - Oh Frank! I thought I was bad. You've made me feel abit better now. They aren't cheap either, you must be skint
Good luck in Croatia, that'll make a nice change from fishing the beaches at home, hope you catch loads of fish. Have a safe journey

[KERRY1]

Excellent Report, pictures and fish. Looks very picturesque down there from your pictures.

Thanks Danny. I bet you can't wait until the bass ban is over The scenery down in Kerry is amazing, that's one of the reasons why I love the place so much.

Fantastic report and photos there Paula, looks like you both had a great few days fishing down there, well apart from the broken fork and the soggy camera. I'll be making my annual pilgrimage to Dingle in July and I'm already counting down the days, can't wait.

Cheers Dave. Good luck on your trip to Dingle, I hope it goes well for ya

12 days of fishing great report and photos paula well done

Thanks mitch, the twelve days flew by......as it always does. I didn't want to come home, that's the worst part, the long journey up home again.

great stuff folks brilliant report and pictures, hard luck on the camera im sure you will get your tope and stinger in the near future, well done

Thanks John I hope you are right and I get my tope and stinger soon. I thought we might have had one or the other when we where down there but it just didn't happen. I'll keep trying.

what a great report , nice mix of species too , and well done on the mullet ( is that a cousin of the Loch Ness monster in the background ? )

Thanks Peter, the mullet fishing was great. They are everywhere down there at the minute. The branch in the water does look like a cousin of the loch ness monster doesn't it

[KERRY1]

sounded like a fun few days

Thanks Thomas, it was really fun.

Class wee trip. Love the photos ya's did really well!

Cheers Dawsey. Can’t wait to get out with you again for a session at the mullet mate

nice one folks!i was looking foward to this report! great pics as well!

Thanks Noel. I’m just glad I got another camera so that I could take lots of pictures. And as you can see – I wear hats too but I don’t know about them bringing me any luck unlike yours!!

Cracking report and pics, I class estuary Mullet fishing as being one of the most challenging so a big welldone.

Just one tip with the camera, if you get it wet DON'T turn it on as this is what wrecks it. Take it home and dry it out for a few days before turning it on and it should be fine.

Thanks marshpike. I agree with you. Fishing for mullet in estuaries is a real challenge but it’s one that both of us enjoy. The mullet are so clever and so when you outwit them it’s brilliant!
Thanks for the advice about the camera, I wish I had’ve knew not to turn it on when it’s wet. It might have saved me alot of heartache and money buying another one. Aww well, it’s a good lesson learned. One I won’t forget in a hurry!

nice one paula, some crackin pics there. the one of K1 with the daark background is one for the wall. im planning a night in dingle a few times durin the summer, expect a pm from me...........

Thanks red. That last picture of me is awful...the only way that is for the wall is if it goes up back to front with the picture facing in. So embarrassing ...not one of my best pictures that’s for sure!

well done both of you some great fishing and great report and photos to

Thanks. Tightlines to ya.

excellent report a pleasure to read. very imformative and very hard to do [remember 12 days of fishing] tell k2 to stay away from those lidl forks they do that all the time lol. some lovely fish and great photos. nicely put together i look forward to your next trip.

Thanks twinkle, we are looking forward to our next trip too. Aahh, that’s what happened to the fork then......

couldn't be beter KERRY nice pictures and lovely sessions it's amazing very well done by the way i got same trouble with my fork too

Cheers grady. I hope you get your problem with your fork sorted soon.

Great report Paula, some great fish there,,, by the way, love the Jersey

Thanks for the comments conger. I thought you would have liked the jersey. I always wear it down there when I can, it’s been quite lucky for me when I have been out fishing. We both have good taste. Not only is Munster a great area for fishing but it has an excellent rugby team too

Nice fishing, shame about the camera. I had a disaster last summer with my mobile getting soaked. It was in my trouser pocket inside my waders and we were wading too deep and when crossing a channel to get back I shipped alot of water. Result was a destroyed phone.

Thanks spinner. That information you provided me above is very useful, I appreciate it. I think I need to invest in one of those waterproof cases just to be on the safe side. I don’t want it happening again.

Thanks Conor The mullet fishing was something else, they nearly drove us mad, well madder than we are already anyway! I hope you get one yourself this year, if you get a chance your very welcome to join us for a session if your ever up this direction
If not, I know the liffey is full of mullet, you could give them a go there in the summer. I'm thinking off trying for them myself there sometime this year.
