My tactic is too cross my fingers and close my eyes :) Especially when casting :D


when casting I have my eyes open and just pretend I know where it went :lol:

The only one tactic I'd use to win the reel, go to Henry's, use the 1 hook Mastercard Rig, leave shop with reel...Sweet Sweet Victory!!!

If you have any idea of numbers attending the meet could you let me know a few days before hand , reason I ask is if theres enough of you we will set aside a practice area and make up some casting balls, basically a tennis ball with a swivel, means you dont have to walk to retireve every time, that way Sean can spend the morning with the group , then in the afternoon you could wang em out on court see how much you have improved.

If anyone would like to try any rods in particular let me know , think we have most of the Zziplex, Connoflex and Century range.


Highly recommend a trip up on the Sunday for anyone that either wants to get started on their technique or wants to brush up on a few things. Or even just to really how far you are ACTUALLY casting....



This one :)

Can I suggest check in between 1.30pm and 2.30pm in the bar in the Lake of Shadows Hotel seeing as most lads are staying there. Be able to get a bit of grub there if needs be and checked in prior to heading to Dunree. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes max from there to get to the mark.
