Terry Jackson heads down South to county Cork in search of Rudd-Bream hybrids. You’re always guaranteed a good catch in this area. It has an abundance of peak conditioned fish. With the angling spot pre-baited, himself and Sid Kennedy were met by fishing buddies Jerry O’Connor and Inland Fisheries officer Mike Hennessy. Two obliging men who had everything ready.
From the start it was a “fish-a-chuck” and Terry describes the fish as “stunning, fin and scale perfect examples, bream-like in shape, but with an iridescent, metallic gold-bronze hue that almost glows in the evening sunlight” To top that off, just a stone’s throw down the road there’s specimen mullet to be had. What more can be said !! This is the place to be.
To claim a specimen Rudd-Bream Hybrid with the Irish Specimen Fish Committee, there are a few simple procedures that have to be carried out and Terry explains this in his article.
