North Co Dublin tackle shop reccomendations

#1 Post by Super Spook »

Evening all,

moved to the area a few months ago and eventually getting to unpack the fishing gear. I need a few odds and sods for some mark exploration next week, and am looking for a new local tackle shop. Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Andy
