SAI Reef Meet, Carrigaholt, 27/4/8 - www.chillwithbill.com

This thread is to collect the names of Club Members for a reef fishing boat trip the
day after the Cashen Estuary, Ballybunion shore competition. The idea
is to come across on the car ferry and be ready for a boat trip the
next morning. The boat booked is the Clare Dragoon. I'm starting the
thread early so I can book a second boat if needed. To organise it
fairly I'll pm you looking for a 50 euro deposit to reserve a place on
the trip.

Report from last year is at

Bill Ryan is a shore fishing guide from the area
http://www.chillwithbill.com/ and also

Bill has 51 Irish Specimen Fish Awards, you might have seen him on
Wild Fishing with Henry Gilbey.

He has offered to sponsor a specimen competition on the day with a
prize of a guided shore trip. For the specimen competition the points
for each fish are a percentage of the speciment weight, so an 11 pound
pollack would be 11x100/12=92 points, the best three species to count,
one fish per species.

In

We have a sponsor-see above!

If this goes ahead I'd take a spot

directions

to get to carrigaholt from ennis follow directions for kilrush, then kilkee, then carrigaholt.

drive straight through the village up a hill past a church. The next left leads
down to the castle and the pier where the boat departs. to get to b&b don't
take this left, instead keep going a few hundred yards, right at b&B sign
another few hundred yards, right at b&B sign, you will see a large Dark red building.

in the morning just retrace your steps and take a right down to the castle just before the village. fairly small place you won't get too lost

have to wait and see what the weather will do now

have to wait and see what the weather will do now

At the moment it's looking like force 5 dropping to 4 in the pm. and coming from the southwest - light showers.

Any idea on when Luke will make a call on this?

its hard to call it this far out as the forecast changes regularly; i would
guess 48 hours in advance we might have a fairly definate yes or no

BTW kev is a maybe for this too.

just phoned skipper of boat and it looks like the weather will be ok for reef fishing sunday.

at last a boat trip!

meet on pier at 8:30 for 9:00 departure
