COURTOWN ANGLING CLOSED DOWN

sad to see a tackle shop of such quality closed.joe is selling EVERYTHING off on 30th of this month .the shop has eyerything an angler could want ,all the top brands .i was in with him this morning .RODS,REELS, WADERS,LINES,LURES,ALL THE SMALL STUFF HALF PRICE.

really sorry to hear that, great for all the bait, bits and bobs, chat ,info,and tea too!

Sorry to hear this, was in the shop a couple of times and it was a little treasure trove of both products and information.

Will he still do bait

very sorry to hear that, loved that wee shop,cost me a fortune each year when I pass on my yearly hound/bass hunt.

Really sorry to hear this Enjoyed popping in there on the way down to Wexford when I could.

Terrible news on so many levels, for Joe himself one of life and fishings greats, locally to see all the lads no longer stopping in onroute down the coast and spending elsewhere, cheap Internet sites will never substitute the value and experience of somewhere like Courtown Angling for all it done and gave back to angling and us anglers over the years!

Best of luck to all the lads.

joe is an absolute gent - so sorry to hear it

Well said Keith

used to go out of my way to pop in on the way south. sad news.

Joe Byrne, an absolute gent. So sorry to hear this, I wish you the very best for the future.

Very sad to see this news, my mate lives in Courtown and Courtown Angling was always my first stop on my yearly trip. Very helpful lads and always a heads up to where is fishing well. All i can do is wish Joe and the rest of his team the very best of luck for the future. It wont be the last one to close, but it sure was one of the best....

Sad to here this. Hopefully it can be a rallying call for others to support their local shops
