Tell us more about the Baggott St. bridge! Some people swear by Ballybough, I swear there's syringes everywhere! Ask them in Henry's and they'll send you to a better spot.

i would stick my filleting knife through a junkie idiots throat and out through his mouth, id then like to use his syringe as a float and his eyeball on the hook while he slowly drifts past it!!
Then id try and work out the best way to fillet him (while rubbing my chin and wishing i had a huge beard like all the good fishermen)!

i reckon belly button to chin, then id switch to a saw edge to cut through the junkie ***** face, id then hang him upside down for 3 days, soak him in vinager for a day and then eat him!

rooskey

cheers for the rooskey spot actually planning to fish there for 3 days in the next couple of weeks get the bus down stay in a hotel and fish my brains out , the lakes are in perfect condition been bout a year since ive been there caught bout 20 fish ranging from carp 2-3 pound tench 4.5 loads smaller its very strict the rules there but if you fish the way derek says youl bag some all day you can only float fish which is a bit weird i thought and only use his pellets for groundbait ,you can fish 2 feet of the bank which is great for keeping a good eye on your float , if it was only closer id live there lol
