When it comes to angling updates Terry Jackson is the man who will captivate the reader with his wonderful flow of words to draw you into the story.  This week Terry ventures to the Bantry Bay district with top class fishing companions Kevin, Trevor and Simon onhand to fish for mullet.  Pat the baker played a role in this story too, and with a good few fist fulls of bait scattered to draw in our fishy friends it was game on!

Terry tells us “Mullet are great fighters on light, balanced tackle, we all know this, but what I had not realised is just how dogged they can be. They simply refuse to give up, and it became almost comical after the fish literally jumped out of the landing net for the third time. Eventually, with a sigh of relief, Simon managed to safely net the fish for a camera shot. At only three pounds in weight, it had put up a tremendous account of itself, little wonder our Grey Mullet are known as the bonefish of Ireland.”
