Bait:tazzie devil

Rigs:

Report:Managed to bag a specimen shad during my 4 day trip to St Mullims.I didn`t do as well with quantity of fish this year but at the start of our stay the fish were all a good size.
I even foul hooked a huge fish,much bigger that this one

but unfourtunately it doesn`t count

At a weight of 1.2kg this is a PB so i was still very happy

Saw quite a few specimen Shad caught this year.Hopefully next year will be better...

Cheers seanie

i recon the one that i foul hooked might have been as much as 1.3kg - 1.4kg

I lost bigger than that in the net last year

Now rules have been changed and the specimens dont have to be killed the current record could be in danger of being smashed in the next few years.Maybe it`ll be on the end of my line

Thanks Danny

They`re a stunning fish alright and they look great when they jump out of the water shaking their head trying to throw the hook
