County Kerry 17th - 21st March 2011

#1 Post by Danny M. »

People:The Family and I

Duration:17th - 21st March 2011

Tide: Full Moon

Weather: Mixed Bag.

Bait:Lures.

Rigs: Weedless, drop shot, Carolina.

Results:
Bass and Mullet.



Report:
Thanks to the lads that recommended John Quinlan down in County Kerry for my family break, we really enjoyed it down there.

Well we had the family break as mentioned above. Had a fantastic time, even though I didn't get to do much fishing.
On the flip side I got to head out West and see a part of the country I didn't even know existed, met some great characters and a lot of friendly locals. Seen coastline that that would make any serious angler weak at the knees ! :lol:

Anyway heres a couple of pictures:

glad you and the family had a nice break danny. kerry1 off the site introduced us to that part of the world and it's lovely. so many places to fish and so few people fishing them :shock: :shock: . we took shelter in o'shea's after a comp was abandoned due to mental weather conditions. cracking wee boozer, espically when the fire is roaring and it's wet outside :wink: :P :P
