What is a Chandler (and i don't mean boating/yachts)?

Sun Jul 09, 2006 6:56 pm

I got a message from my bro who is staying in Wicklow for a weeks holiday. He asked what a chandler is in relation to freshwater fishing.

He is staying near a lake and the permit he bought says - 'no live bait, no chandlers'

Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,

JUDE

Its a name for maggots. I have met lots of folk, who talk about "Chandler's". It is especially used around Dublin.

"mister will yiz lend us a birra dem chandlers"

translation

"pardon me good sir, might you be so kind as to loan me a small amount of maggots"
