Mullet fishing on the beach (finally)

An incredible mornings fishing was well worth the 6am start.

[@davidallen7540]

Miss Kerry. Great video Chris 👍

[@peterwatson6975]

Fantastic fishing Chris, you are certainly lucky to have such a go-to beach on your doorstep and such beautiful weather (yes, I do remember the great fishing in the Fenit area some 40 years ago with it raining!)

[@Inshore_Angler]

I think you might of seen the bay in its heyday Peter thankfully it still does really produce great fishing

[@colinosullivan2828]

Excellent Chris, you were like Coco stalking something in the garden the way you were up and down the beach Great watch, keep them coming

[@samsmith7866]

Great video Chris, like you say, Tralee Bay at its best.

[@mickoconnor6674]

Class video, the excitement is infectious, well done lad👍🏻

[@Inshore_Angler]

Cheers Mick there was no way of hiding it lol

[@jimhaughey3868]

Another fantastic session Chris..well done mate..

[@johnathanackerman4539]

Wow 🤩 what a video Chris really enjoy that like . Cracking fishing again mate keep up the good work

[@Inshore_Angler]

Nice one man. I made up a little chum the last day for a crack at the monster mullet that live in the local marina

[@Verminterminator]

Great video as always - Good catch of Mullet there - Not a bad shirt really....

[@ianmiller1879]

what a cracking trip, top video chris.

[@robbieallan6522]

When I was in St malo outside the city I was fishing in the marina for them waiting for the boat home and I used 6lb line a tiny stem float with a split shot and about 3ft of line down to a tiny coarse fishing size hook and after missing atleast 10 takes on bread 🍞 after about 3 hours I finally hooked and landed a 3.5lb thin lip grey my first ever and I was as buzzing happy as you are 👌😁😁👍💯

[@mikeoutdoors22]

Brilliant video Chris.

[@tonymorrissey9637]

Oh man what a video - absolutely brilliant.... i especially love the fish at 18.55... i was swearin with you. so exciting. brilliant.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Ha ha I was certain there would be no more but they kept coming 😂 usually it's when the camera is on nothing happens

[@tonymorrissey9637]

@@Inshore_Angler Unbelievable catches there.. Have often seen shoals of them in east cork but never fished for them. Am gonna try and get another first this year. Thick lip thin lip or golden grey will be trying for them... Have had my first Stinger, Tope Undulate and Corkwing - all inspired from watching your vids. they are all brilliant and are a real credit to you promoting sea angling in Ireland and Kerry. Fair play to you.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Tony you should try for the mullet on the bombarda float set up. I've not used it a whole pile myself but I believe it's devastating for the golden greys especially. Delighted to hear that now the aim of the channel was to help guys get a few more fish and share a bit of info if possible

[@tonymorrissey9637]

@@Inshore_Angler Yep your channel has definitely helped >>>200%. I definitely wouldn't have caught those new species or have such productive sessions now. my catch rate has increased loads. Ill definitely be after the mullet - but I'm thinking next target for me is Giltheads in west cork.......but after catching my first stinger (only12lb) a few weeks ago that could grow to be addictive... they fight like crazy.. thanks a million

[@timdavis9329]

Great video as always Chris

[@alex79buckland]

Fair play pal that was some good fishing and they would of been some lovely eating I really quite like them compared to some other fish

[@Inshore_Angler]

That beach is a lovely clean one too. The water quality would almost certainly be high enough to eat mullet from there.

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Seriously I have taken my hat off and even eaten it. To me this demonstrates your skill as an angler. I fished for six months in 2005 at port Carlisle in Cumbria. Never got one!!!!! I believed I was a pretty skilled course angler. Impressive, this is like watching snooker; made to look easy but very difficult.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Jimmyc that's probably the nicest comment I've ever had on the channel since it's started. I was having a crappy day in work til I read it

[@garybowden941]

Cracking Vid Chris.....looking forward to my trip over there next month '👍

[@Inshore_Angler]

Nice one Gary I must say I enjoyed that one

[@johnharty9409]

Great video Chris Good to see you back,hope baby is doing well I must have a go at the Mullet on Castle beach as I have got Gar there In Inch now blowing a Gale☹️☹️ No Bass fishing today!!!

[@Inshore_Angler]

I'd say so man I had half a hope to get some bassing in later but it looks like it's out of the question now. There can be a pile of gars there at times in front of the football pitch

[@SpiralMoss]

I use a John Wilson quiver rod for the mullet in Clare, they're great sport on fresh water coarse fishing gear 👍 great tips thanks 👍

[@Inshore_Angler]

Class I was hoping to get my light ledger rod in time for the trip but I didn't yet. The freshwater rods are lovely if your going to be fishing on the move for the day

[@SpiralMoss]

@@Inshore_Angler I bought my John Wilson off Henry in Dublin, he has a great range of ledger rods. Back in the 90's I used to use one for flounder's in the Shannon estuary, they were cracking for the flats. Especially in saltwater creeks where you don't need to cast far. The bite detection is something else 👍👍 A light tackle competition would be fun off the beaches here in Ireland.. Scale down the rods reels line and weights and it's a whole new fishing experience 👍

[@armando0256]

Wheres that ? And what bait did you use

[@dalehewitt1651]

@@kingofrs125 it was unreal man I had to change into the long sleeves and head away when the swimmers started to arrive. The super light fishing is very addictive lol but occasionally bites me in the ass

[@williammcdonald3293]

Ty for the video haven't seen one from you in a while. Wow so calm on the beach. so calm I was wondering if you could do some fly fishing since they were feeding up top? Beautiful looking fish. Myself and my family are coming over in august for two weeks, spending a week in limerick then a week down in Ballyheigue Covid permitting, in 2022. haven't been home in 6 years. Your accent reminds me of my good friend Joe Drury from Ballyheigue another reason I love watching your videos, your enthusiasm is so infectious.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Thanks William. I've never done any proper fly fishing but I do have a fly rod lol it would be a good laugh seeing me try at the very least. Ballyheigue is a great spot. If it didn't have the tourists and the seaweed I'd fish it an awful lot more

[@williammcdonald3293]

@@Inshore_Angler I would usually fishing on the incoming night tide and like your self early in the morning.. If it had too much weed I would try other places like Fenit Fishing off the bridge with mackerel.

[@ianchristopherson1973]

I would be float fishing bread there, great vid.

[@Inshore_Angler]

The problem with the bread there is the place has a fairly big population of seagulls and they are fearless

[@tadhghayden7601]

Some great mullet. Interesting way to fish for them. Suppose dropping fish on sand is not so bad. When you said Swords do you mean outside Dublin?

[@Inshore_Angler]

Ya swords angling is a shop I get a lot of my stuff from. I think I had 6 if them that day and all bar 1 went back fine. The one that didn't was eaten by a delighted couple passing

Hello Sir, Congratulations on mullet fishing. Is this place in Florida?

[@Inshore_Angler]

Unfortunately for me it is not in Florida. It is in South West Ireland in a magical place called Tralee bay

[@bassblanker5359]

Fabulous video Chris, well done. Your enthusiasm and warmth shines through. Any chance of you targeting some pollack on the lures from Slea?

[@Inshore_Angler]

I've just started lure fishing off the boat and I'm ridiculously hooked it's going to cost me a fortune 😂😂 I don't have any good pollack marks around slea head but I have a couple of good ones in North kerry

[@mateusztalaga4667]

Very Nice Fish Chris, I was wondering if you could tell me the best rig for Bass? Going to Barrow Harbour for some evening fishing and not sure I'd my 2 hook flappers will do.

[@Inshore_Angler]

Hello mateusz and thank you for the comment. I think the 2 hook flapper is a good rig for barrow Harbour and also it might be an idea to use a lure like a german sprat or silver toby. There's a lot of sandeel in there so the lures can be deadly

[@mateusztalaga4667]

alright thanks!

what length rod do you use chris and as a beginner looking to upgrade should i use a 4.2 or 4.5 meter rod for competions mainly

[@Inshore_Angler]

Hi man how are you keeping. That rod is a 4.2m one but for competitions I'd recommend a 4.5m one (if you have a choice). It just means you can use a longer trace if you ever need to
