A little birdie tells me the shad have made an appearance. The rain may not help now...

[barry murphy]

was down last sat night on the strong tides jd not a sniff of one,head down this sat but tide very week tho so not hopeful

[MAC]

The weak tide wont make a difference Barry. They run the river on the big tides towards the end of April / Early May. Once there up river then will be there regardless. They will be there for 4 -6 weeks and then they run back to the Ocean after they spawn.

I would say the recent rain scuppered you. The river will need less flow and colour.

will head down again next weekend hopefully few more around.

[chuckaroo]

hopefully not a silly question but will there be a prize for reports on each of the two nominated species? i.e. two prizes per month?
thanks

[jd]

Just the one prize.

Just wondering lads if I caught a fish say a garfish now in june could I enter it in the july- tope & garfish comp or does it have to be caught in that month, and if yes how would you know by a pic? Cheers : )

No, it'd have to be caught in July. We are presuming people have honour and integrity.
