I'd be interested in this. I'd suggest Greystones South Beach to facilitate those relying on Public Transport.

yep agree 100% up by the driving range is the best spot also not to much of a walk from the train or bus

i can do the pegging draw and so on as i have been involved in club fishing for a good few years (coming back after a break just for boards lol)

hope we can get at least 15 for this there is 2 months notice after all

advice on bait

for 5 hours you will need
a dozen large sandeel
2 frozen/fresh mackerel
30 lug
30 rag
12 good peeler crab
a few whites if you can get them
bit of squid if the whiting come on time
and some mussel just in case the colies are around


traces

variety is important

scratching rigs
2 up 1 down
size 1 on top
2 middle
and 4 bottom

1 hook cliped down belter
the ronseal does exactly what it says on the tin

bomber rig
2 hooks on 1 clip that spread on impact with the water
nightmare if you tie wrong

more to follow after a long sleep work is overrated :rolleyes:

24th would probably be out for me, club comp in Gurteen.

I can amend some club score cards for use if you want.

I'd suggest a minimum size of 18 cm on this (5pts per fish + the length)
OR
a 'minimum size' of 20 pts, but with all fish scoring 5 pts regardless of size, and fish 20 and above scoring the length as well



Excluded fish- mackeral, scad, launce, weever, game fish

One other thought is to try and time it so you get some darkness at the end, gives everyone a good chance of getting at least some whiting

dbrock

yep looks good to me think its a good idea to wait and see what other lads might think but as far as im concerned that should be the provisional date


needs more anglers though if this is gonna be a runner fingers crossed

sternn

I would be interested in that. Day-time would be harder for me, but Sundays is not a bother.

dbrock

sorry lads out again on the 26th sept, Club Comp

jd

ok lads to we want to look at thjis again? Maybe early December for the Boards Christmas fundraiser

Doc Farrell

I'm perfectly willing to look stupid JD and freeze my ying yangs off if you'll supply all my bait and show me how to set up the rigs i'll give 20 quid to whatever charity its for.

also airwaysmotorcompany.ie will provide a 50 euro tackle voucher to one of the winners.

if i can't make it u can have the donation anyway. be warned though, bad weather follows me.

i have a rod and reel. i gotta be honest, always hated putting hooks through live worms! always!

edit: or a 20 euro prize voucher and a 50 euro donation, whichever is more suitable. fishing in december! nutters!

Sparks43

lol im more then up for it ,also if im digging bait for myself i can always dig a bit more if someone is stuck

no crab allowed in december though :mad: even though i can still get great pealers

lads get names down and this is a goer :cool:

Cormdogg

Hi Lads, bit late in on this but is it going ahead? The 26th sounds good

stevenmu

I'd be up for this as well, any of the above dates should be good for me. Like Doc, a bit of help with rigs and baits etc would be very welcome.

junction

will come along to this if its goin on with 2 or 3 others. keep us posted.

cheers!

in sanity

Might make this if a date is confirmed in good time

jd
