you took the words outta my mouth! a boat session would go down a treat if it was possible.

Re: Weekend shore fishing trip to Kerry - August
Right lads, just a quick update.
As far as the dates are concerned, its Friday 21st August to Monday 24th August inclusive.
For any Dublin based lads, we plan to leave mid-morning friday, to get an evening session in once we arrive, so accomodation will be sorted for frid/sat/sun nights.
Any lads travelling from other parts of the country can arrive/leave when suits.
As for numbers, I have it as the following so far.
Myself
Corbyeire
Peter97
doggie3131
John
Jason
Possibly satlydog (well you know you'll be coming really Conor
)
So 7 in total.
So lads if you can just reply with final comfirmation that you'll all be coming please, thanks.
I'll check some accomodation this week, and post a few options for consideration.
As for the boat idea, it would be great if there is a site member who could give us a trip out on his own boat (we can cover any expenses regarding fuel etc), so I'll post a topic in the boating Q & A section.
Personally I'd not be too fussed about booking a charter, bearing in mind the shortness of our stay, potential for adverse weather, and the fact that there will be more than enough decent marks for shore fishing.....also wanna get a few pints in down there
Feel free to work away amongst yourselves though if you want to book something solid.

Re: Weekend shore fishing trip to Kerry - August
Hi lads,
I have a family holiday booked in Castlegregory around that time, heading home on the 22nd but I might be able to make a session on the Friday. Any ideas where you will be staying/fishing because I will be without internet access from the 10th on.

All fishermen are liars except you and me and to tell you the truth, I'm not so sure about you!

Re: Weekend shore fishing trip to Kerry - August
No probs conger, be nice to meet a few other lads of the site.
To the rest of ye, I didnt realise that its that daft rose thingy of tralee the same weekend, so accomodatiom in the town is a no-no, checking a few options out on the dingle and I'll update with possible locations/costs over the next day or so.

Hey Shamboo,
Try Castlegregory, there is a decent amount of accommodation in that area. Lots of holiday homes and such.

Re: Weekend shore fishing trip to Kerry - August
Right lads, I know this is gonna be a right royal pain in the backside especially coming so late, but I've got to withdraw from this weekend due to work commitments.
I should be able to make it next weekend if thats any good ?
If you lads still want to head down this way and want some info for the accomodation side of things let me know.
Sorry again boys
