Second Sac Shore Competition (Ballyreen Co Clare)

[jd]

We plan to have the next comp on the 11th June (afternoon) West Coast (Clare).
We hope it will be a rock venue, but will have a reserve venue in case of inclement weather conditions.
More Soon.......(please indicate your interest in competing by replying to this thread)

Hi JD,
Can you be more specific with the venue if possible?
I'd like to book a b&b for the night.
Thanks
JK

As soon as you know it would be great i also will book B/B. A little drink that night would also not go amiss.

and

near to Doolin,Lisdoonvarna etc..

already pegged..

i'd love to give it a try. sounds like some serious fishin. a 'communal' drop net might be an idea?

Would love to go lads, but not sure I'll be able to make it. What time will it be fished from/to? I'll probably be in Limerick that weekend, so if it starts early, and finishes early, I could make it.

Time to be decided- probably 2/2.30 to 6/6.30

Saturday would suit me better I don,t know how everyone else feels maybe Sunday.As regards drop nets it is a must in my opinion.

The 11th is a Saturday..

Sorry JD my mistake was not reading properly

Just letting you know that Lisdoonvarna - Fanore Sea Angling Club
( http://www.fanore.com/examiner/asp/Summ ... ecordID=76 ) are having a competition the day after at the same venue..(might learn a thing or two!!)

JD, I spoke the the same man you did and he was very helpful. He did say it was a conger eel spot first and foremost. Their are other fish of course but how are was to measure big conger or are we weighting them.We are told to use very heavy line (60/70lbs) straight thought. I will not target conger and would like your feedback. I will go for pollack and fish in clear ground. Can we use floats and lures. His sister runs a B/B 10 mins away called ROCKY VIEW.

Colin

If you have your ifsa I'm sure the fanore lads wouldd be happy enough to let you fish on the competition on the Sunday. In the case of our club their happy enough to fish our competitions and we theirs. If any of you want to have a pleasure fishing session over the weekend in the estuary just get in contact.

i PRESUME we are measuring them, not weighing. Sometimes eels are given a set number of points. There are pollack,wrasse etc there too- and floats and lures are allowed. I'll talk to kieran later.

Spoke to the lady in B/B and she has 6 rooms 3 Doubles 2 twins and a family room. 28 euros per person per night or 35 euros per room.This is cheap I think and will book myself soon.

Colin

any ideas for the back-up venue yet JD?

have we any confirmed numbers for this compo yet. just to make it interesting we need a few going.


Colin

It is still a month away, but 5 so far anyway (kleeneze, mb.3,jd,MAC,jfkireland) ..

The rteserve venue will be nearby, probably a beach such as Fanore or Doolin.

Beach would be good. 5 people is not good altough it is a month away. I am still worried about long distance compos as most members are east coast. Again I will be there and look forwad to it.

Colin

Ps Had a look at list again and all 5 are east coast most dublin.

1 more-Sean365
that makes 6
also we are expecting another new member who will fish...
