Patrick Gallagher

Hi has anybody heard from Patrick Gallagher recently? I'm trying to contact him regarding an order without success for the past few weeks

Pete

Hi

I was asking the same question 2 weeks ago on this forum coz i was trying to make contact with him to order some of them japanese lures that he mentioned on the forum in the past.

my post was gone off the forum the next day.

wierd i was only looking for some help

dissappered off the face of the earth havin heard from him in along time and nobody seems to know were he is gone

Actually I was wondering the same thing myself because I was trying to get in touch with him last week about getting a few lures and not had any reply from him. I figured he might just be away for a few days or something but obviously not.

anyone tried ringing him??

i have text him a few times over the last few weeks but no reply yet

Ive tried ringing him a few times over the past few weeks and the phones turned off

Dont want to start a big conspiracy Theory here,Ive tried to make contact too ,but to no avail ,and his blog has disappeared off Henry Gilbeys site.Hes probably off fishing somewhere exotic testing out lures.

Just seeing this now myself lads.I too have tried getting in contact with him but i've given up at this stage.Had paid alot of money back in OCT[after breaking a sakura shukan/crap] for his own red rod but after much promises of posting up to me etc it never arrived and more than likely never will and i've given up on it at this stage,never had much luck with these guides some of which i thought were good friends of mine but have left me down with a bang,would love to visit Alderney hear the fishing is brill for bass and a tax haven also .
Sorry thats off topic and not related here one bit,basically whatever Pat's story is i hope he is ok as thats the main thing regardless of other side issues and i did learn alot from him in the short few months i had met his acquaintenance and i thank him for that.Also spoke to someone close who told me he had'nt heard from him a while and that he was'nt in wateford anymore,best to leave things sort themselves out me thinks.
Tight lines

Oh ya lads he changed his phone a while back along with his number,which i don't have before ye ask.So the old number NO USE!

Still waiting for my patchinko, paid for it in september .

Ouch! I'd say you'll have to bite the bullet and get some from Henry's.

blatant plug (arf!) for Dan Lynch in Halfway Angling Centre who also has a large range of lures now in stock from Xorus, Megabass, Lucky Craft and more, including all the hot ones Patchinko, Asturie, Gunfish, X-120 etc.

Hi Rocky

Nice plug!

Is this guy around a long time?

Defo pays to deal with someone in business a long time and not some fly by night.

This applies to dealing with anyone in any business not just tackle.

If you pay by credit card arent you insured in cases like this?

I try not to recommend any tackle dealer, however Henrys tackle shop is around a long time and he has a large stock of new type lures and i have always got a good deal and service from them.
They guys themselves do a lot of bass fishing and have experience in using the some of the newer lures and lure rods on the market.

He seemed to be recommended by people here and people on the world sea fishing forums also was recommended by Graham Hill and Henry Gilbey on there blogs and on the World sea fishing forums anyway i think ill be taking a drive down to Waterford in the not too distant future to the address i have for him to see whats going on and to do a bit of fishing,

Plus i ordered some lures from him before without issue so i thought everything was fine then

is this guy around a long time?

Not sure if you are referring to Patrick Gallagher or Dan Lynch there, but if it is the latter, then yes and highly recommended.

Hi Rocky

Was referring to Dan lynch, i know Pat Gallagher only started selling gear around this time last year.

Again its important to deal with someone who has a long standing reputation. There is nothing more annoying then paying for stuff and not recieving it.

Interesting that a few guys have said in this thread, PG was recommended by Messrs Hill and Gilbey and both on this and WSF forums.

Perhaps none of us should recommend tackle dealers at all or a least put a warning in the recommendation considering we have nothing to gain by recommending tackle dealers and we leave ourselves open to criticism if the guy dissapears.

Cant wait for the season to start, then we wouldnt have time to be talking about this stuff!

Just a note,
Dan has sponsored the boat competitions and Henry's the shore competitions for Sea Angling Ireland S.A.C. and it’s nice to see posters supporting both tackle dealers.
