dave sells bait from shop in ringsend, must say its always been top quality when ive needed . as regards to the show itself i thought it was very good, the next time someone sees a crazy man in the driving rain with a garden fork on a beach, will know what we're up to.

That was interesting show alright, it was good to see Dave Tilly making an appearance on our screens again, didn't he do a show a while back on RTE, 'Life of a Bait Collector' or something like that? It was also nice to see my local River Dodder getting a mention, the stretch I fish is full of bats and I'm always afraid that one might go for the fly but its great to see them thriving there.
