    Played a good bit of golf up until 2 years ago. Between bad summers and work I lost interest in it. You need to be playing twice a week to keep a decent standard.

    Have a small man now to look after and between farm and work 50 miles away have little time for anything these days. All good though!

    would like to take you shooting in the next few years. Tried trap shooting with a friend a while back and it's an interesting hobby.

    Outside of the charging Sucklers, it's a nice way to spend an hour or two in the woods! Great for the young lads too.

    What do you fish for? Pike, coarse or trout and salmon? I do a bit of specimen hunting in the salt.
    Mostly pike and fly fishing. I also like to do a bit of course float fishing on a balmy summers evening. I find it very relaxing.

    Interest in Pike fishing has ballooned in recent years. And fly fishing for Pike has taken off well too.

    My mother is from Longford and as children we always fished. Some great fishing in the Lakelands area :)
    I have tried fly fishing for pike but with no success. The fly, line and rod are very heavy and totally different from my nice #6/7 trout rod. Ye would need muscles like Arnie to cast it for long periods of time.
    Youngest and I caught 3 trout yesterday afternoon. We kept the smallest one that was about one and a half pounds.
    The other two were released back to the water.

    Not as exciting as some of ye lads. Spend abit of time with my guys and OH on a Sunday.. Few hours. Maybe go for a walk or cycle depends on weather or teach them how to do a bit of Baking or cooking and it gives the wife a day off from cheffing in the kitchen:D. I gets plenty of excerise from one end of the week to the other end. Most of my friend around my go arent a whole lot different with young kids, carrying to games, matches etc, it often just bliss to sit down on Sat even with a bottle of beer and her company.

    I don't think it's possible to spend as much time with them as they would like!! Had to tube a weak calf for a neighbour last night and she was in a right huff over it!
