Hi there,

Why not join the SAI SAC on this site. I've found it very good, good bunch of lads (possibly some ladies too but never come across them). Plenty of advice and I wouldn't worry about looking like a muppet - plenty of company there I suspect - myself included...
You don't say where-abouts you are located - might help to get some local clubs or lads on this site to give you some info or arrange a trip with you etc.

Derek, when are you thinking of going out? I'm due a session on the southside again shortly.

I normally fish Killiney or Greystones beaches at least once a month, or at least I did when I lived in Ringsend and was near the dart. I've moved to Tyrrellstown now and don't get out as much.

I'd be into a session in the next few weeks.

wohoo we found a nice spot for the tope although we only landed 2 and lost 4 plus we got some big huss,,the tope were 50lb and 45lb well worth the trip i had one which snapped the line after 10 seconds of fight ,, dont think i wanted to see how big he was

when ever you guys are going out give me a shout
