Hello and good evening!.

Hi All,
Just like to introduce myself to the forum - I've been
reading for a while and have found some of the discussions very
informative and some very entertaining. I always feel with forums it's
always rude to just 'lurk' so thought I should say hello!!

Myself - 40 - based in southern U.K. - fly fishing for 36 years ( yep
- first fly caught trout 1971, Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra). I
mainly spend fishing time these days pursuing bass (sea), and mullet,
around the local coastline with a fly rod, with some success - Bass to
6lb and Mullet to 7.5lbs (mullet have been likened by others to the
British Bonefish, but I wouldn't know as I've yet to hook a
bonefish!!).

Anyway - enough for now - I'll keep reading and post / reply if I have
anything to contribute,

All the best,
Gordon.

Welcome to the nut-house...............

OK, now tell us how you do it. It is decades since I
saw hordes of mullet in the tidewater of the Ballynahinch
River (Connemara) but all I know is that they did not
respond to British Columbia sal****er cutthroat methods.
How do you do it?

Seaweed fly larva (maggot) imitations and Idotoea imitations - needs
to be a lot of natural food in the water (spring tides) and the sport
can be hectic!!

Mike Ladle describes it far better than I ever could and catches far
more - he keeps an online diary which is fantastic reading..

a sample page.. http://www.mikeladle.com/archive/catch139.html

his website diary... http://www.mikeladle.com is split into three
parts - sea, coarse and tactics. And his book - Operation Sea Angler
is also online although it has ben reprinted.

All in all fascinating reading!!

All the best,
Gordon.
