Spiddal Area

#1 Post by the weasel »

Hi Lads,
Havent being on this for while as i lost interest in fishing after my outboard engine as robbed of my lake boat a few months ago.Anyway took a trip out to spiddal on thursday and fished 2 Hrs before HW AND 1 HR after using Mackeral and Sandeel,evening was nice for it but i blanked so iv decided to get back into the shore fishing for the winter and ill be using this site again to stay in touch with whats going on.

Tight lines to all.

Sorry to hear about the outboard johnny ,best option is to buy an old one with low hours remove the stickers etc and make it look old and manky on the outside ,hopefully they will overlook it,play the magpie syndrome game
