Paddy, come down to the mouth of the Dodder on the flood, go to the barrier there just by the toll bridge. Get them feeding on bread then pop out your size 8 with some bread on.
I've a notion to start trying there a bit myself in the next while.

I was wondering that too, the group in this photo were taking bread when i was chucking it at them, they were waiting for the tide to come and get over a weir, i noticed bigger groups then this further up the river staying much lower and they wernt a bit interesded in bread! :?

Grey Mullet 9.10 lbs 26.9.1993 Cork Harbor Cay Heerwagen

taken from the specimen fish committee record page. i wouldn't be surprised if the record was broken at killybegs because of all the fishy remains dumped off the boats.
