Shad at St Mullins

The Shad are in at St Mullins. The river though is high and dirty from the recent rain and this is definitely effecting the fishing. However there are some fish being caught.

Duncan Cole (pictured), a visitor from Northern Ireland, caught five Shad in the time that I was there, all on a blue/silver 13.5grm Tazmanian Devil.

Best time is on high water, when level is still rising-check the tide tables for high levels, for Dunmore East, and add 1hr

was there myself tonight had nothing until i changed tactics then landed 7 and dropped as many, well pleased for my first crack at it

we`re headin down there in a couple of hours and stayin til friday.hopefully the water will have cleared up a bit....
cant wait

I was up in St. Mullins today and I have to say the river is chock a block with Shad. I lost count of the number of Shad I caught with many more lost. Some very good size Shad too, with a few specimens being caught. They seem to be a good average size this year. Big schools of fish in certain areas.

good news to hear

For everybody, who was there and who will be there. Me and my friend, was again yesterday. We landed over 60 fish together with few specimes-bigger 1.35 kg weighted on certificated scale (thx Martin) some pic below

Amazing pics and sounds like great fishing too. Do you ever enter your pics in competitions or do you do this as a job

Was down there today myself,

Great craic, had over 20 fish & must have lost twice that many. Set the rod up at the car and thought i'd have a cast to make sure everything was in working order and had a fish first cast

Had one specimen 1.28kg, weighed & verified by Ronald from the site. Himself & Davy had a good number of fish too.
