Mullet

#1 Post by Cormdogg »

Hi lads, I quite fancy a mullet, the fish not the hair cut, I thought I really wanted to catch a bass but it turns out I HATE the beach. I saw them once in Bray and I hear they're up and down the Liffey like a shopping trolley with arm bands and also at Poolbeg somewhere, but could someone pm me a more precise location please around Dublin send me a pm please or if anyone fancys a session on the mullet let me know. I heard of tales of old that they're in among the boats at Dun laoighre but I never see them. I might even bring out the fly rod and give a comedic performance! I had one before is a restaurant and it was DEE-licious, doubt it was out of the Liffey though!

Thanks

Cormac,

I think you'd look rather fetching with a mullet (the hair cut) :lol: , but if you'd rather catch the fishy type give me a call and I'll try my level best to point you in the right direction.....god knows, it might even be the kick up the backside I need to get out and give 'em a go myself :mrgreen:

Sand,weed and waves! I guess Im just never out on the right conditions, also my shock leader knot never comes out properly and too many crack offs, Maybe Im just too strong?? ;)

Im always open to be converted Eric!
