Strangford Mullet

#1 Post by colin c »

Had a couple of hours to kill today so nipped over to Strangford to give the mullet a go.
Knowing that Davy Murdoch hasnt caught any this year and the fact he had to work today just made me more determined to get one. :lol: :lol:
So after half an hour or so hooked this wee chap.Not the biggest but my mission was complete,to catch one before Davy :lol: So had to give him a quick ring to gloat.
Will be going after mullet again at the weekend Davy if you want to tag along and see how its done :twisted:
