meeting point

#21 Post by kieran »

Meet:

outside coffee shop / craft shop on the entrance to Leenane village - there is a large car park on the other side of the road beside the sea. ONE PM.

Can we also please have a roll call NOW as to who will be attending?

Thanks.
Kieran Hanrahan

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks

Steve just head for Glalway city, from there head for Moycullen - Oughterard - Maam cross where you turn right and then its about a half hour drive to Leenan. About half way from maam cross to leenan theres a t junction just as you cross a river with a big white pub and shop facing you. Take the left here and the next stop is leenan.
Will know by tonight for sure whether Ill be able to make it or not.

I'll be there as well. I'll be staying Saturday night. Anyone else? I would suggest that we all b&b it in the same area for a few pints. Let me know if you are staying and I'll have a look for a b&b for us all.

Have fished this mark a few times now and have found sandeel wrapped in squid to be deadly for the ray.

Sorry Lads,

I can't make this one as the baby is due any time now. Hope you get plenty of fish and go easy on the pints Saturday night.

This whole family thing really kills the fishing doesn't it ..

Good Luck,

Donal.

Best of luck with the baby Don, our first arrived 4 months ago. I find if I play my cards right, I can actually get every bit as much fishing in as before, havent quite worked out yet though whether I have an extremely forgiving and understanding partner or whether I'm just a selfish git.. :lol:

Thanks for that Sean, I'l leave a little early just in case. I've no more access to the net from this afternoon on, so if something drastic happens (change of meeting place, venue etc), would you get Mark to give me a buzz with the details? Cheers!

Folks,
May I wish you all the best of luck on Saturday. Sorry I can't make it, but I will try to make one of the later ones.
I hope the easterly wind does not kill off the fishing.
BTW, do macks count in competition?

Just back from the west. Great weekend and good to meet up with everyone. Shame about the wind! Meself Mark and jp fished the beach beside little kilary today for a couple of hours and got four more ray to 8lb 3oz. Nice to have the wind in your back for a change.

Hi Seaniebo, which beach were you fishing and what bait took the ray??
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!
