Fishing Expo this weekend!

#1 Post by kstaff »

Just a reminder about the show this coming weekend, Sat and Sunday.
Our resident casting guru's will be on hand both days to give Demo's and advice on all things casting, reel set up, etc..

I would highly recommend bringing along your own set up too and having a few casts under their guidance, you'll be getting expert hands on advice and you'll leave knowing what you need to know!

Hope to see ye there.

Regards.

I see me having to talk to paddy about his HST. :lol: Really felt right for my low style. I like your Primo as well by the way... I really caught the second last cast, I think witha bit of work we might be able to catch them other guy's or maybe not :P :P

What distance on the last one?

How ya, another great day for it today weather stayed nice and mild TG.
You were getting on famously with the HST alright, after all my progress yesterday I went backwards today, thinking too much! :?

Using the heavier Bullet is making the Synchro feel even nicer now so all's not lost I suppose! The nice 1 from yesterday wasn't far off 200. I think Paddy has some clips ffrpm yeasterday so we'll get them up during the week.

Met some more SAI lads today too, nice to of met you all, including 2 fixed spool Vigilantes who tried to sabotage my multipliers :D You know who ye are!! :D

No probs guys it was good to see so many lads interested, a good weekends casting alright and great crack, conditions were less than favourable and yet some good distances put down considering we were casting into a 10mph headwind at times, well done to all.
Scara you did very well and deff have the makings of a good caster all you need now is a new rod!! :lol: :wink: :lol:

I heard reports that the vigilanties split up on reaching Finglas . One was spotted heading towards Galway at a tad more than the national speed limit and the other headed toward that deep dark place they call west cork. Anyway bud if ya need a hand catching up with them give me a shout I will see what I can do. Damn fixed spoolers . They are such handsome devils.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Aye, handsome devils they were, 7ft tall the pair of them, long manes of golden hair too! Off into the sunset they rode, never seen the likes of them in these parts before! The women and young uns are still afraid to sleep!
