We have mullet too, in Co. Wicklow

[Ashley Hayden]

I finally decided to take the hint from Kerry 1 and go mullet fishing in a local estuary. Fishing for a couple of hours on consecutive days a friend and I landed three fish. The full report is on my website, http://www.anirishanglersworld.com. They sure are great craic, the hardest fighting fish pound for pound that swim in Irish waters for sure.

Well done Ashely, you done well to get a fish out of there. I had a go last year in that same spot and failed never even seen a mullet.
What state of the tide were you fishing? it's hard to get it right because it's so far up the river and I think that's what happened to me at least that's my excuse.

nice fishing ashley,where did you get the hat??

[KERRY1]

Great report and pictures Ashley. Well done on your mullet, cracking fish indeed. That estuary looks like a challenging but at the same time a fun place to fish for them. Nice one I'm glad you finally took the hint

[Ashley Hayden]

Hi,

The hat was purchased in America and I was given a lead on how to fish the mark by a fly fisherman who has tied a pattern based on the green sea weed in the area. He uses the fly here with great success.

On the two sessions at the mark I got one fish over the top of the tide and the other on the early ebb.

[KERRY1]

A weed fly. I must get my hands on one of them because they seem to work a treat

hi ashley
thanks for the phone call at work ...... you really got me
going and i couldn't settle down f..k this im going fishing
and tweenty mins later i was standing on the bridge looking down
on you and even better you had a lovely mullet in your net

so with a little help from ash i was set up and ready to go ,and
on my 3 rd cast i was into a smashing mullet ,couldn't believe it and after a super scrap on the light gear i landed my first wicklow mullet i was thinking to myself whats all the fuss about mullet fishing ha well i was soon brought down to earth .but i have
the bug now and cant wait to get back down again so watch this space

[KERRY1]

Nice one mitch, well done. Now you know why I find mullet fishing so addictive and why I love it so much. Mullet are very under estimated when it comes to people's attitude's about fishing for them which is a shame because if more people just tried it they would never look back. The fight they give you is amazing when you hook into one, catching your first mullet is an fun experience and is something that you don't forget in a hurry, congrats to you.
