Re: st mullins twaite shad
Very well Done Willie.  It the 11 years of the specimen reports that are online, you now have the earliest specimen.  Hopefully the foul weather doesn't dampen it.

Re: st mullins twaite shad
well lads.
I went up there last night and it was very slack.
There were about 6 people fishing and I only saw two fish being caught.
The tide was massive and the road completly covered the road at 8pm by a foot of water.
The tide seems to be an hour and a half later than Dunmore East.
One fish was caught at high tide and the second on the drop.
I think the fish are not all up yet, as it didn't seem a shadow on what it was like last year.

Re: st mullins twaite shad
Yeah I was fishing beside that van. I might head again this evening and try again.
Did ye go far past that van? Did you get any on the rising tide?
