No there is no tackle/bait shop in Howth. Jhon 65 was selling bait over the summer. Do you want me to ask him for you?

Do the other Howth regulars think theres enough demand for a tackle/bait shop?

I always wondered why the ones that were there, or nearby, closed.

That depends George! Who's John65?? :D It seems to me to be the one place thats fished regularly on the northside, surely there would be a demand for bait! I was looking up shops etc, and it seems there is one near dollymount, think its on the clontarf road.. not sure if he does fresh bait etc though! Thanks, Bren.

Theres the shop opposite the train station, they sell feathers, but thats about it. I've never heard of any other place in Howth that sells tackle/bait.
Would be a handy sideline for one of those shops to do bait alright, but I doubt the customers would like to see rag and lug beside their chocolate muffins. :lol:

A tackle shop in Howth would be handy allright...they would do a roaring trade in feathers during the summer months! Not sure it would be a winner though, I don't think there's a massive profit in bait supply (assuming you are buying it yourself, rather than digging it, like most tackle shops).

Hi Every 1.
There is another shop called annes down the end of howth. Was talkin to the owner on many occasions and asked him would he be intrested in selling bait if i supplied it but he said it smelt 2 bad? There would be a demand for bait if shop was willing to supply it.
This is actually jhon65 there is sumthing wrong with my user name

The price of property in Howth is just too expensive to allow the opening of a tackle shop in Howth. Maybe some day..............................
