I have just arrived here in the west of Clare and have an awfull amount of wasted time sittin' round the house as I, like alot of other people am having trouble finding work. This wouldn't bother me in the slightest back in my native country of Australia because I'd just spend my spare time down my local beach fishing the day away.
Here in Clare is a different story, I'm without any gear, wouldn't know where to start collecting my own local bait or how, and what species to target, how,where or when.
I know from experience you can just go throw a line in anywhere there is a body of water and your fishing, but it's the local knowledge in the aproach, and specifics of what species, how, when and where that will put a fish in your bucket.
I know, speaking for myself, that fisherman can be a secretive breed of people when it comes to giving away their knowledge, but any advice anyone could give me to point me in the right direction would be well apreciated!
I'm currently living in Miltown Malbay...
