Tide:high

Weather:warm but with heavy showers

Bait:bread

Rigs:floats

Results:mullet




Report:headed over for a short mullet session and had my fingers crossed that the rain would stay away.there didn`t seem to be many fish around when i first but a few more appeared as the tide filled.
i spotted a nice fish taking bread from the suface and gently flicked my bait a few feet infront of it.it took 2 more free offerings before it reached my bread and good as gold it gulped it down :D after a good scrap i landed a nice mullet of 4.15lb :D
the tide was well on the drop by now and i had to move down tide to find more feeding fish.i only spotted 1 more fish taking bread but it didn`t hang around long enough for me to get a bait out to it.i missed 1 more bite using sunken bread before the tide was to low and all the mullet had moved away.
i`ll hopefully get a run out tomorrow with the fly rod and see if i can get my first on the fly this year.

Be very careful Davy if you are fly fishing the Ilner river (Comber) as you require a Club Permit and Licence to fish this water. Reports of foreign nationals and the odd local poacher having been spotted there recently discarding Ormeau bread wrappers in the river estuary. :shock:

i`ve not fly fished there as its too overgrown for my abilities as a fly fisherman :roll: i also wouldn`t know about ormeau bread wrappers cos i use kingsmill or tescos own brand,i`ve got a boot full of wrappers to prove it :wink: .it must be the foreign nationals leaving their rubbish behind,i`ve spotted a group of them checking the place out :x
