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!

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

i have stopped going there for too many resons.

resons for only allowing his pellets is there is too much oil in any other ones but after he told me this he went and stocked up on all the dinamite range which has a hell of alot of oil.

1. rules on fishing styles are a joke you cant even try catch fish off the top with bread or dog biscuits or watever.

1.he kept comin over to me and throwin his roley butts in my bag and tackle boxs.

1.not a bin in site.



besides all of this i dont like over population of fish its too easy to catch and in turn is damaging the fish i caught a 5 pound tench out of there with one lip hanging off.

i do like the koi i got out of there tho.


its not a place i would like to fish regularly just the odd time.

killintime

hi he dose have rules but theres ways around them but there is some nice duble figer fish there have got some nice ones there :cool:

northsideangler
