Bass angling guide Richie Ryan of Eirebass reports on his early fly fishing for mullet trips…

24 March: Lost my mojo and out of practice, only one beached this morning. Lost another 5. I’d forgotten how exhilarating and exciting mullet on the fly can be , especially in the surf. Very late start for me this year.

26 March: Bigger fish this time. 4 Mullet from four takes, I was much more in tune , great craic.
Go fishing…
