Fantastic prize too ... just look at the article in (and cover of) this month's Irish Angler for a bit of a teaser ...

It's not a fishing competition, you just have to answer the question to enter the draw. [url=http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bulletin%20board/viewtopic.php?t=13888]here[/url].

It wasn't working out trying to schedule this during my working hours, so I mailed a crossed PO for €520 to the RNLI at their Swords Office.

Shortly after receiving the RNLI competition news I set the date with Jim for the latter part of June. Blackiemc and myself headed to SEAi over a week ago with our mixture of bait, lure and fly experience.

We were exposed to a thorough professional service customised to match our interests and skills level. This learning experience covered a broad range of theoretical and practical aspects, leaving both of us with the confidence to target Bass with a renewed energy.

I picked up some new fly-casting techniques from Jim and intend to work on these this year and god (and my wife) willing I will be back in SEAi in 2009 for more expert tuition.

I would to thank all involved with this competition especially where support is going towards the RNLI.

Der.
