Belfast Angling Centre

#1 Post by vamper »

Called in to Belfast Angling centre yesterday, and noticed that that a lot of the shelves were very bare.

Does anyone know if they are closing down, or maybe moving?

Belfast Angling Centre & Bangor branch are undoubtedly the best tackle shops in the area.

The staff are just as knowledgable as in the smaller shops but they are also big enough to hold a really wide range of stock, they also do live bait.

I'm not in either that often as I don't get out fishing that often but they always seem to remember you.
Species List 2012 (Me) - Lesser Spotted Dogfish, Plaice, Codling, pollack, dab, SS Scorpion Fish, Ballan Wrasse, Codling.
