TACKLE SHOPS IN DERRY

HI LADS,
HEADING TO DERRY CITY FOR THE WEEKEND WITH THE WIFE DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY DECENT TACKLE SHOPS UP THAT WAY WORTH A VIST?
CHEERS.

Hi gunnerska im from down the road in Donegal but i have been in Derry once or twice........ there is a shop on the Buncrana road out of Derry called land and sea ?? (not sure about name) but its at the second set of traffic lights on the way out on the left hand side (signposted) they have some sea gear but not a lot. there is also a shop in the city (bog side) but they don't have a lot of sea gear. if you pm Paul bryson as he lives there he told me of a new shop in New Buildings which might be worth a look ?? by fare the best selection of sea gear is in Letterkenny (in the south) which is about 22 miles away. there are 3 good tackle shops there and I'm sure you will find a bargain.

Danny

By the way gunnerska i do the reverse journey twice a week except from Letterkenny to Cobh which is longer 287miles and the best way to go is up the west Limerick Galway Sligo...... did you know that Limerick has 11 roundabouts to go true to get around it

( sorry cant find their num: )

there is some other tackle shops within private fishiers,ie; the oak's fishiers, glenowen, wee andys. but here in Derry there is not a great selection of sea fishing gear.thats why i buy most of my gear online...

the shop in new buildings which was by far the best sea angling shop sadley is now closed.the others carry very little in the line of sea tackle unfortunately.most people that sea fish in this area buy on line from the likes of veals and such .john

By far the best tackle shop is swilly flies on the Ramelton road outside Letterkenny.

Not sure about sea-fishing gear. But he has a good stock of quality gear and John himself is a gentleman.

As stated above the shops in derry are mostly geared, towards game fishing.
Land & sea is a rip off!
Maybe its just me but I always get the feeling in Rod n line that they are looking down their noses at ye because your lookin for sea fishing gear, but its probably the easiest to get to if your in the town center.
The guy out in Toms tackle seems really sound, and if he doesnt have what your looking for he will try to get it in for ye, tho I suppose thats not much use to you if your only up for the weekend.

Save yer money and head to 'peadars' or 'the gweedore' for a loc a pints!
