Thanks for that Ian.. .. you have me wondering now . I thought I knew Wexford well but I didnt know of a cable car. If you happen to see the prog. again can you let me know where it is as I cant get that channel.
Thanks again for the info ... cheers

hey beachboy I think ian123 is mistaken that episode was filmed in isle of white i think although henry did fish in wexford he fished along the coast between kilmore and hook head don't know of anywhere fishing particularly well in wexford seems a bit hit and miss

Thanks fot that copperhead... I think I ll try the beach north of the harbour or Baginbun .Does anyone know if peelers can be gathered in the area or anywhere in wexford. I can dig a bit of lug down there.

I'm pretty sure that that is in Kerry.

I think the cable car referred to was the one over Dursey Sound, Beara Peninsula, West Cork in an area offering good wrasse fishing.

Thanks for the info lads ... daves tackle is handy for bait (near the bird sanctuary). Dug some decent lug and found box of fresh prawns (fell off back of trawler ! ) and had good day ata cahore on sunday (see shore reports). Things are picking up after dismal few weeks... tight lines
