kerry & donegal. not what we expected 19th - 22nd august

[vamper]

Bad luck on the rod and car mate , and congrats on a brilliant Donegal trip .

World Sea Fishing wont post rods to N.Ireland, but check out the Belfast Angling Centre. I think they were doing the Salt at around the same price not so long ago (even if its a bit deared, you wont be paying postage )

Guys, your dedication and committment in the face of adversity are only to be admired. Well done!

[tight lines]

well done on get a few but dont talk about bad luck with cars we had a nightmare down there 2 years ago and had to be towed back to dublin at a cost of 400 euro but if you are heading back down you can get bait in the sport shop in dingle thay do all sort of frozen bait and a bit of gear keep your chin up and i hope you luck is in for the next while

[Al and Jordan]

Al,
Did you try the guys at Village Tackle, they're normally fairly resourceful in getting spare parts. On one occassion they even lent me a rod until my replacement section arrived.

hi alan. gave them a buzz and sadly no luck there . looks like i'll just have to wait for someone to break a bottom section and buy the top half off them

The three stoodgies spring to mind,lol. Glad all come right in the end Al. Very seldom does Donegal let you down.

thanks ivan. sure it would'nt be us without some miss hap on the cards but we came good in the end and donegal was the buisness

shame about your rod and motor that some bad luck but 200 fish after all this is bright in the darknes Al, so well done you 3 great report and the pictures

cheers man. just had to stick at it until the bad luck broke,,,,, we came very close to locking the car up and just finding the nearest pub

Fair play for picking yourselves up and getting back out there. I think I would have ended up on a bar stool.

came very close to it man . if jordan had'nt have been there i'm guessing thats where we would have ended up

well done lads, always a great read of a report..
gotta say, that list has me feeling envious, I haven't seafished in so long!! My species list stoppped growing back in May!!! GOnna try rectify that within the next month hopefully..
Beaut congers too!!

cheers daire. our fishing has been put on the back burner for the last fortnight or so as i've had loads on with my mates wedding, work and diy around the house. only been out twice in the last 2 weeks . starting to get the jitters

ha al ye heard about your trip ,, bad luck or what... at least you all got home safe.........nice to see the wee man smile again....

thanks alan. every now and again we have the odd blip with the motor. but considering the mileage we clock up in it i suppose it's no surprise i think we've clocked up over 50,000 miles on it over the last 3 years and taking into account she's over 10 years old parts will fail every now and again. all the more reason to start looking around for a camper van

Bad luck on the rod and car mate , and congrats on a brilliant Donegal trip .

not to worry man. i have fishing buddys in scotland and england, so postage is never a problem but i was looking at the one in belfast angling center and harry always sorts me out with a good price i'd rather put the money in his till than buy off the internet when prices are competitive

Guys, your dedication and committment in the face of adversity are only to be admired. Well done!

cheers paul. and the fact that i'm as stubborn as a mule helps too

well done on get a few but dont talk about bad luck with cars we had a nightmare down there 2 years ago and had to be towed back to dublin at a cost of 400 euro but if you are heading back down you can get bait in the sport shop in dingle thay do all sort of frozen bait and a bit of gear keep your chin up and i hope you luck is in for the next while

cheers for the info on the bait man . i think if it was gonna be a tow job, a box of matches and a packet of fire lighters might have had to have been bought

that was a rough trip lads,,,but fair play on the fishing,,,,,,,,,,,,,i,d say ye wher glad to get home,,,,

no kidding man. i'm just glad the donegal trip restored my faith in fishing again. after our ordeal in kerry we really needed a good session
