Report:
was supposed to go to kerry but a last minute decision over travel time we then opted on waterford, unfortunatly for the fishing end of things this was a terrible decision
only managed one small codling for about 14 hours of fishing .tried several marks between tramore and youghal including dunmore east and courtown on the way home.
seen some great looking Bass marks where we did some spinning and will have to go back when the time is right the rest of the fishing was with bait in the evening.
never even came across another fisherman ,
still had a great time but will have to get to kerry next time
sorry about the crappy report but thats fishing
Just picked up my engine from Derek & Dave from DDM Marine in Coolock.
Can't praise and say enough about these guys. Based in Limeric, the trip up is well worth it for the time and effort they put into everything they do.
They are only 15mins off the M50 motorway and only 10 from Marine Parts Direct for anything else thats needed.
Thanks again lads and well worth travelling the distance
Hi,
I'll start with a bit of background, I currently reside in Kildare and use to do alot of match coarse fishing until the new arrival (now currently 2 years old) which put a Hiatus to my fishing for while, well not really stopped the fishing I just couldn't put the Prep in at night anymore. Well I have an itch now and I am eager to get fishing again and so I decided that I would like to try some shore sea fishing. I am not a complete novice and do know most of my knots and have being boat fishing a couple of times before,but just fishing with feathers for Mackeral/Pollock, I do have some questions though and would appreciate any help.....
1. I need to get some gear, I have a reel that will be suitable just need to get a rod and all the other bits and bobs (tri-pod etc) Can you give me some recomendations and places I can purchase this items. Trying to keep the price with in reason. She'd would go mad if she knew I was buying more fishing gear I already have a shed full
2. I was hoping someone would be able to show me the ropes regarding bait and presentation, I wouldn't mind just tagging along and seeing how its done.
3. I currently don't drive as I work in Dublin so I commute by train. We do have a car so I can get around to some areas but she requires the car most of the time so that brings up a small issue. I use to have a friend who I coarse fished with and he had a car so we could get where ever we needed to go. I was wondering if there was anyone local to me who I could share a car with. I have no problem paying petrol costs etc.
I am sure there is more I should be asking but I can't think just now.
Cheers
Brendan

is there a better option for the money and what size is the best weight for the rod. 6000 or 8000?
Hi,
Unfortunately I don't have my own car and I was wondering if there was anyone in the kildare area that wouldn't mind me bunging a lift from them whenever they are heading out for a dabble. I have no problem paying petrol costs etc.

Came across this on the web, some college kids on spring break (they must have been rich) on spring break came upon a boat in trouble, here the story. I heard an interview w/one of the young men he seemed to be pretty decent said he was just glad to be able to help a fellow sailor in distress, we'll see. It's nice to see people acting well.
BIMINI, BAHAMAS (WCSC) - What's 50 feet long, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and was taking on water off the Florida coast?
If a group of College of Charleston students and their lawyer have any say, it might just be the biggest payday in a group of students' young lives.
While on a return voyage from the Bahamas during Spring Break, a group of eight CofC students witnessed a maritime mistake like nothing they had ever seen before.
"This massive 50-foot yacht was just cruising along. Then all of the sudden, they run it straight into a sandbar," said CofC senior John Capelle. "They were just rocking back and forth."
The group of students, all skilled sailors in their own right, sprang into action, keeping in mind the ages-old adage of the sea to always help a fellow sailor in trouble. They radioed the captain of the sinking vessel to ask how to help.
"He said, 'Mayday, mayday, mayday,'" said Mike Illig, a CofC student and ownder of Avid Angling Fishing Charters.
The crew on board the yacht had deployed a life raft and were jumping to safety, said Innig.
[See a slideshow taken by a CofC student standing on the shore as the rescue happened.]
That's where the Spring Breakers got lucky and the story took a turn for both the heroic and the litigious.
"He broke a cardinal rule. You're supposed to stay with the vessel until it is underwater and sinking," said Conor Smith, a junior at the College.
Smith is right, although it's more than a rule -- it's maritime law. If the distressed captain doesn't stay with his ship, passers by with enough youth, skill and desire to salvage a sinking boat can claim it if they can save it.
And that's exactly what the CofC students did.
Capelle, Smith and Innig took turns diving into the water to attach tow lines to the distressed vessel. They didn't keep track of how many times the line snapped or how many times they each dove back into the sea to reattach those lines. They just know they succeeded.
After four hours of towing the otherwise abandoned boat to safety -- including donning scuba gear to repair gashes in the hull created by rocks that were causing the yacht to take on water -- the crew is now entitled to more than a pat on the back.
According to Capelle, "if someone has already declared mayday, they've already abandoned ship to basically let the elements take the ship and do whatever they want with it, and another party comes and saves that boat, technically, it's their boat."
The owners that abandoned the boat are contesting that claim, however.
Now, lawyers are working on the case and they say the students are entitled to a reward for their efforts and the payday for them could be substantial. While attorneys sort out the details, the students say the possibility of reward isn't nearly as important as having the chance to help a stranded fellow sailor.
And with a story this big, the group is happy to have plenty of video of their deed to prove it's no fish tale.

what are the best tactics for lesser spotted dogfish
Has anyone got the above spinning rod? any info much appreciated.
Anto
Has anybody had any experience of using this site?
http://www.fishingwx.com/detailed.php If so did you think it was accurate? According to this site, Saturday in Greystones @ 18.00 should be a great time to fish. Maybe Cortaz might shed some light on this?
Just have a general question.......
Will a sea trout hit a surface popper in the same way as a Bass does?
My normal mark throws up a combination of both Bass and trout. I like fishing poppers for the visual buzz but would like to still catch both species (as a Toby does).
Always Hedge your bets both ways
Any ideas would be much appreciated, i know they hit wake fly's at night in rivers?? So??
Easy now..
