Carrigaholt Pier, West Clare 26th August 2009

People: Ross and Dave son of Ross

Duration: 3 hrs

Tide: last 3 of ebb

Weather: Fresh S

Bait: Mackerel

Rigs: Float fished

Results:
1 Grey Mullet 4 lbs. to Dave
We both had a lot of small Smelt





Report:
Mullet were slow to come to groundbait. Cormorants and Smelt showed more interest at first!
A few Mullet came on the feed and Dave nailed a good one! We forgot the drop net so a net was borrowed from Luke Aston's boat and I went down the ladder to net the fish after a good scrap! It was Dave's first Mullet ever!
I had a good run from a Conger but failed to hook up. Thanks to Luke for the Mackerel and the net!

great stuff on the mullet david nice fish.how about a chip off the old block.what do you think Bill

nice one lads,nice mullet,last time we were there john got a schoolie on a sabiki rig

I would like to try the Mullet fishing but I have no experience using floats etc.

Is it the same as coarse fishing where you have to plumb depths etc?

Can anyone give me a quick few pointers regarding this - how to set up the float rig and fish it - and the bait presentation etc?

Cheers
