Cheers man...very cold last night but managed to haul in 3 slabs.

Can anyone guess a weight for these bream? I have no scales but they are soooo heavy and 20-23 inches (50-50cm) long.

Do you mind me asking, did they go back?

Been a while since I last posted here - A few pics of some small bass I caught in September in rosslare. The 3 pictured were 3 of about 70 caught in a total of 8 hrs over 3 nights in manic fishing conditions. No fish over 2lbs but great scrapping fish.

Brave boy catching the weever like that lol.
The cuckoo ray is a great catch, not a fish everybody will have on their species list.

I didnt even know it was a weaver for ages -when it came out of the water I just said whiting to myself and went into unhooking/rebaiting mode! How I didnt prick myself i'll never know.

Cuckoo was unusual all right - probably the only one i'll ever see - Stunning looking tho!

First day out and first time taking a photo with my phone. 5 others just like this in an hour on my local river. Nice start to the year

Hope this uploads as I haven't a clue how to do it.:mad:

SeaFields · 06-03-2018 8:47pm

Surprised anything on the take Srameen. Given the meltwater around the place, the water must have been Baltic.

Not a picture but a link to the new two part Irish programme (RTE1 tonight at 9.30) about marine life in our part of the Atlantic.

Nice catch! Not to sound too preachy but its better for the fish if you keep them off the dry ground like that as it can remove the protective slime from the fish. Unless you were keeping it then it doesn't really matter

Doc Farrell · 06-05-2018 11:43pm

I wanted to post up a pic of a half dozen flies given to me by an angler on the Dodder. I think he tied them himself. Never got his name, helluva gift. Fishing on the Nanny tomorrow, geared up like I’m invading Iraq. Is there a way to post a pic from ones phone without having to save it online? Anyone else fishing tomorrow?

Yes, use 'Attach file' or 'manage attachments' and you should be able to put it up. It's a lot easier with a pc but you'll get it up with the phone too.

jack01986 · 07-05-2018 12:10pm

I think you can attach a photo directly without having to host it somewhere. Might try get out for an hour or two on the Dodder. A generous gift.

Lol thats a picture of one of tge young lads with his first pike. His handling skills leave a lot to be desired, but they've improved a lot since that was taken.

Doc Farrell · 07-05-2018 10:19pm

Getting back into fly fishing I forgot how impossible it is without patience. Sweating like a horse from 2pm, fish started to rise about 5pm. A bite or two but I managed to scare every fish in the river. Also got charged by a herd of young cattle, scared the bejebus out of me. Learning curve still steep but not as tough as years ago. YouTube is a much more vast resource now. Hope that the picture of the gift of flies works, a couple of them are in the bushes on the other side of the river tonight... still, gorgeous weather all day.

No, a regular I was talking to today said that because the water was so cold this last month that everyone is finding it tough. Having said that I saw a dozen fish rise over a two mile stretch after 5pm and if I had have matched the hatch better and taken things quieter I would have done better. It’s just a small river and I don’t think there’s many large fish in there, mainly, I think, coz people eat them. I also heard that there’s 3 families of otters on the river and I definitely saw otter tracks today under the bridge that runs across the m1. I’m not sure how many otters there really are but I think they would have better luck with the sizable number of mullet in the estuary, rather than the tiddler trout further upstream.

In fairness to him. At that age last places kid wants his hands to be near is a pikes head.

Hi this was the 1st pic I've posted of a fish so had do. Always fish bar less on the Rivers and they all go back. No harm on pointing out responsible fishing practises though, cheers

ardinn · 16-05-2018 6:44pm

First attempt at the shad this morning for an hr and had wonderful craic - Learned alot about them and it was a bloody glorious day.

They take a bit of getting used to regards the play, I lost my 2 first hookups but managed the 3rd then had to leave for work

Anyway - I'll be back for them

jack01986 · 16-05-2018 9:07pm

Always interested in trying for them Ardinn do you think they'd take a fly or is it only Tasmanian devils they are interested in?

I found 5 flies clearing out my tackle box and I don't fly fish anymore, in a tiny case you're more than welcome to them you like ?
