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

Well done,

Theres deadly colours on that fish.

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

i agree john
i was concentrating on holding the fish ,bloody thing kept jumping out of my hand.
my photographer even got a few snaps of me juggling with it maybe i`ll put one of them up

im not trying to take anything away from your fish davy, its a super specimen well done
a photo of the juggling might just be the trick

The smug grin only comes out when he catches a mullet
