Jim Clohessy of Topfisher.eu. takes a look back on his hunt for the elusive Golden Grey Mullet. He tells us;
“I will always remember my first golden grey mullet, a flukey fish really, caught while spinning for bass early in 2002. It caused some consternation for us at the time as we struggled to identify the fish. The excellent “Irish Sport Fish – a Guide to their Identification” proved inconclusive as it reckoned that Golden Grey mullet were not recorded in Ireland. You couldn’t fault book as it was originally published before the arrival of a few new species into our waters. In those days gilthead bream were a rarity, trigger fish were elusive. In a changed landscape (should that be waterscape!) these new species give the dinghy angler looking for a change of scene something new to chase, something new to ponder during bad weather and the winter time.”

Jim Clohessy and some of Ireland’s finest angling journalists decided that they would like to establish an online presence where they could continue to publish articles that would be of interest to all anglers wherever they are based (following the demise of Irish Angler magazine), but of course with a distinctly Irish flavour. So that’s what you get at Topfisher.eu.
