Beach Buddy??

#1 Post by Kraken »

Hey all,

Well after the weather gods tried to both drown us and blow us off Ballybrannigan yesterday I have come to the conclusion that I have to get myself a beach buddy for some little comfort on the beach during those less than perfect days.

What should I be looking for? What should I be paying for it? and who should I be getting it from??

And most importantly of all :D :D :D :D :D :D


What colour should I get?? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :D :D :D :D :roll: :roll: :roll: :P :shock: :lol: :wink: :wink: :wink:

go for one of the RT ones, only €70 and money well spent IMO.

not sure how good they would be in clonea with the tide dropping faster than a whores knickers

Hi John,

can't believe nobody asked already, what colour is your tackle box? That should make your colour choice a little easier. :D
Blue n White is the new Black!!!

there's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
