Wow john that answered that.
Ill av to save some of them myself.

yep some good skippers in that bunch been out with some but not all.

thanks john i'll look into that

hi take your time as the fishing is not great at the moment no point in wasting money on fuel down to be dispointed with the fishing .

from experience. I would recommend Eamon Hayes,he never stops trying for fish,especially something unusual,like trigger fish or giltheads.although too early for both,Joe Byrne out of Courtown is top notch,is there no end to this mans talent ?.Both lads are approachable ,friendly and patient with anglers of all abilities.

i would put paul bates in to the mix. brilliant with novices. has them putting on there own rigs in no time

You could have a look at courtown angling they have a couple of charter boats.

Have to second Eamon as a recomendation as well as Dick Hayes in fact nearly all the lads down there will try for you.
Steyrman is dead right though bit early to head out but ring now as Eamon Hayes is practically booked up for every weekend this year. So I reckon most of the others are the same.
