Hey Paul your bang on there my friend. To be honest there are more reasons to move than just politicians/bankers/dodgy builders but fortunately that combination have shafted me and my family for the last time...!

Best wishes on your return to Scotland joebhoy, though the politicians will be found in almost all states, the state of the economy is more to the front, with really dam all being offered up to change anything,
Just listen to minister burton, on reducing social welfare would shrink the economy,
So good luck in you next chapter, and remember angling reports are a few floors down......
Well Joe, what can I say, we've had a great run of fishing and mighty crack and banter, I'll never forget that tree passing us by in Youghal or the crack and panic when you caught the big cod on the beach.
I believe that I have made a good friend and that we will not lose contact, sure it's only across the pond, but family comes first. The state that this country is in you are making the best choice and don't doubt that. All will work out for you and the family and not forgetting rolo and Harley the beast
The only thing you have to be careful of is that strange shoe fetish of yours
I expect to see you back in the winter for a bit of cod fishing there will always be a welcome for you in limerick
Roll on the weekend
Best wishes from all at no 26
I used to live down in the Wigtownshire area and from what i've been hearing from the lads in my old club is they are have been having fairly decent fishing lately, 3 weeks ago they had Spurdogs up to 10lb landed from the shore, there have been thornies to about 8lb caught and Bass to about 6 or 7lb caught, basically all on the same stretch of coast too im told....

Hey Originalsin.... I am from North Ayrshire so a good trek from Wigtownshire. I have heard that Galloway is producing some decent bass fishing alright. Have my eye on the East Coast for the winter cod which I am told regularly run to double figures. Would be good to find out any marks from your old club mates...

Ayrshire itself isnt that far away.... It used to take me around 50 minutes driving to Ayr town...
Ill try get some marks for you from some of the guys but from what i can remember though, Kirkudbrightshire is the area for the Cod,

Cheers man any help would be great as im sure you know the Clyde is basically fishless........... 50 mins seems a reasonable distance as i am used to 2hrs 15mins to Youghal in the winter.....
