Need advice on Boat for sea and lake Returning home
Posted: Wed May 17, 2017 8:05 pm
Hi All I am new to this forum and really enjoying it.
I am returning to live in Ireland after over 30 years in Africa. Retiring the big 60|. I have fished in Ireland sea and fresh since I could walk and fished all over Africa. I currently fish on the Zambezi river , with two boats, A 16 foot with a 75Hp and an 18 foot with a 125HP.
Now it look as if I will be settling in East Clare, Lough Derg area. I love lake fishing but also fancy being able to fish the Shannon estuary and maybe a few miles off Loop head when weather permits. I have a standard lake boat that I will keep but was wondering if anyone could recommend a dual purpose, one that would not be too deep or awkward for the lake but would also be able to handle inshore sea fishing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
