Slow few weeks on the fly so I went to Meadow Lodge fisheries in Maynooth with a mate mostly to see what the place is like under new owners. Never thought I'd catch this lump an hour into the session.

Only there for two hours and expected to catch a few sprats and nothing more, the place is in fine form since the changeover it seems. Ten quid for the day too still, can't be beat.

Got this fella in fading light while fishing for seatrout a few weeks back. For scale the net opening is 15 inches. Nicest brownie I had in years. He put up a great battle in high water and had the fly reel screaming as he took off upstream. Released to fight another day.

My first rockling

My First Scorpion Fish

My First Octopus

My first plaice (I am having an argument about plaice or flounder - herringbone pattern on the belly is Plaice - this had it - if both species have it please correct me)

All in the one night

Sugarlumps · 18-09-2015 8:46am

Flounder, Plaice with have orange spots.

jack01986 · 18-09-2015 10:07am

Fairly sure it's a flounder. Nice fishing all the same.

.red. · 18-09-2015 10:27am

100% flounder.
Sometimes a flounder will have orange/red spots just to confuse you even more.
A plaice will always have tiny lumps/nodules on its head. Run your finger down the middle of its head and you will feel them.

Octopus caught from the shore? Are octopus regularly caught in Ireland?

GrumpyMe · 28-09-2015 6:24am

Yes!
Although I've never caught one from the shore.

My first allright - apparently they are serious bait - cut the legs off and the legs go mental for hours - put the octopus back and he grows new legs!!Renewable bait

(I didnt do this btw)

Similar to the horseshoe crab. Catch em drain them of 3rd of their blood and release them. Their bodies replace that blood in matter of days an millions is made off the blood

Doubt even the most skilled angler could purposely foul hook a sea bass.
Cracker of a fish

ardinn · 23-10-2015 4:53pm

I have foul hooked a bass before - about an inch from the tail - its like trying to reel in a boat!

Who said anything about on purpose?! I've foul hooked many over the years as well, especially with multi hook plugs given the way that they hit it side on.

Ya took me up wrong on my post mate.
I foul hooked a monster of a mullet while using feathers for Macks and hooked it in the tail and it pulled the arm off me.
Some scrap off them and unfortunately was the only mullet I ever hooked

jArgHA · 01-11-2015 1:22am

She actually took the top treble when hitting the lure, but threw it after landing her. the bottom treble was lightly through the gill plate. The fish swam away healthy.

serfspup · 01-11-2015 7:26pm

serfspup · 01-11-2015 9:18pm

Yep, Likely something chasing and feeding on them and driving the shoals to the surface, attracting the gulls, and to the edge where they would be washed up...

I was glad I found that in the back of the car yesterday morning !!! Very cold and windy , plus the fish didn't mind ha

SeaFields · 03-01-2016 12:25pm

How did it fish popsy? I imagine the water was high but not too cold given the weather of late?

Surprisingly very good I had over a dozen fish and my friend the same

He was using a full sink line while i was using my switch with a 5ft fast sink polyleader and both had same results

Some good quality trout and freshly stocked with browns about 2-3lb that gave a very good account for themselves

skipz · 24-02-2016 5:46am

Living away from home can be tough, especially when you miss the fishing!
Was home last July and caught this lad on a very hard day on Muckno.

Really miss the Pike fishing and always get into a few days when I make it home. Not the biggest pike, but still great to get into one.

On the other hand, living aboard can have its angling advantages.

Second fish of day, first was smashed off by a tiger shark. Ended up passing through a school of about 50 dolphins chasing flying fish that day too, never seen anything like it before!

Nice fish, looks like a Morwong.
Did you measure/weigh it? It's a decent size

It is a Morwong. I think they call them Queenies/Queen Snapper here.
I didnt get a weight or lenght. Was told it was a decent size alright. Cheers!
