Tackle shops near Roscoff (it's in France!)

#1 Post by teacher »

Going to be in Roscoff and Morlaix tomorrow. Would like to have a quick browse for some lures. Anyone know of any tackle shops in the area? Thanks. (Going at 1pm today so will need to be quick!!)

Found a really good tackle shop in St Pol de Leon, a small town on the way from Roscoff to Morlaix. The tackle shop is on the right as you walk down the hill, I think, from the big church to the smaller one. (NOT Patrick Peche on the corner as you come into the town.)

Can't remember the name of the shop. Lots of very interesting bass lures. Not cheap though. You could easily drop a few hundred quid on lures in here.

Unfortunately my lack of French meant I couldn't get much information about fishing in the area from the guy in the shop. But then our main mission this time was to liberate several 1L bottles of Jameson from the supermarket in Morlaix and to banjax some shock absorbers by putting 200 bottles of wine into the back of a golf. Ended up on the freight deck of the ferry on the way home because I couldn't get up the ramp to the upper car deck :D

(Looks like good bass ground around the islands near Roscoff. Will give this a go next time.)

the bass are well known round that area - and were fairly abundant 10-15 years ago when i was back and over to the area every summer

consequently it was bass bass bass for every meal as they went harpooning every day - was completely sick of the stuff
