Bullock Harbour alternative?

[Stephen8wood]

Does anyone know of alternative self drive motor boat rental places other than Bulloch Harbour? I'm looking for a change of scenary and hopefully a fish or two. It would need to be within a 30 min drive from Dun Laoghaire.

juct had a look at the cost 30 euro an hour i thought thats steep

thats what i was thinking and by what there posting on the site we should be getting stingers there thats the ray in there pics

€100 for four hours. That would buy a lot of gear. I was hoping to have a change of scenery but I can get a boat from Bulloch for the same time and it will coat me €80. Does anyone think that the inshore waters around Wicklow harbour will be worth the extra €20 compared to the virtually fished out Dalky waters?

you think that is steep have a look at terms and conditions, if you have no credit card you have to give a 500euro cash deposit

far from fished out stephen, plenty of fish and variety to be had around here, have a look at some of the boat reports

I have just had a look at the terms and conditions. Did I mention how much I like Bulloch Harbour.

[Stephen8wood]

I know John but the trawlers were in around the Muglins again yesterday. I've had some decent catches here in the past and expect some more but I've also had some days where there seems to be nothing but micro whiting on offer.

a charter out of kilmore would only cost 50-60euros if you got a troop together

at 30 euros an hour how much more stung do you want

[Stephen8wood]

You are right Twinkle. It's just two of us on Saturday though. I might give Dick Hayes a shout to see if he has any room on his boat for Saturday.

That looks to be a pretty poor attempt to be honest. €200 for a day out in a Longliner..... Why did I ever sell mine!
