Species:Twaite Shad.

Specimen Weight:1.1kg

Location:River Barrow,St Mullins

Bait:tazzie devil

Rigs:

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 :shock: but unfourtunately it doesn`t count :cry:
At a weight of 1.2kg this is a PB so i was still very happy :D
Saw quite a few specimen Shad caught this year.Hopefully next year will be better...

Cheers seanie :D i recon the one that i foul hooked might have been as much as 1.3kg - 1.4kg :shock:
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 :wink: :lol:

If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.
