Any mullet showing yet

#1 Post by SeanM »

Anyone seen mullet around Dublin yet or has the cold weather made them late? Looking to target them as soon as they start showing.

Everything at least a month behind I'd think. I heard some showed in Cork last week.
I had a look in Courtown, Arklow and Wicklow last weekend and never saw a fish. Last year it was late May before they showed in numbers willing to feed and I fear this year will be no different. :(
