Welcome to SAI pam. It might help if you indicated your budget range and what kind of fishing he's interested in - boat, shore, fly, lure.

Have you considered gift vouchers from a tackle shop?

He's a lucky lad to have someone like you :wink:
there is not a lot of boats operating from dublin and the fishing is not great at the best of times.
if he would travel an hour to courtown there is great value to be had here,all tackle and bait supplied 8) http://www.courtownangling.com/index.html
and if he would travel 2 hours to kilmore quay there is a good range of boats operating down there with a great amount of species to be caught on most days list of operators are here http://www.fishinginireland.info/index.htm not sure about the tackle and bait, better to check when making a booking.

thanks a million for replying, my budget, well as ive no idea how much something like this would cost but i could go with around 200e, and boat would be the type of fishing, travelling to courtown wouldnt be a prob so ill have a look at that link, thanks, i have looked at the fishing in ireland but as i have no clue about it it just didnt make sense to me!!!! :oops:

thanks again, great help
