Just heard of Liam's passing while reading a post on the WesternAngler forum here in Western Australia..
From reading his posts he appeared to be having a ball of a time in WA catching numerous sharks, tuna & other species from the shore.
Its always a sad time to hear of something like this, but hoping it can also reach out to warn other visitors to the dangers of the WA coastline..

Only knew Liam through his posts on the forums but my Condolences to his family, at least he passed away doing something he obviously enjoyed a great deal.

Terrible news, cant quite believe it. Was a really sound fella, met him two years ago and fished past Dingle on few rock marks....full of enthusiasm for the fishing and great knowledge of the Kerry shore fishing. Rest in peace Liam.

Like many on here, also only knew Liamo through the forums. Really nice genuine and helpful guy who will be sorely missed. A huge loss to us all on here. Deepest sympathies to his family.
