Insurance

Postby JimC » Wed Sep 22, 2004 8:13 pm

Sorry to be butting in on the shore anglers!
Isn't it a sad state of affairs that you cannot even organise a fishing comp among adults because of fear about insurance. We are in a similar boat (excuse the pun) in relation to boat competitions. It's a sad fact that people who are giving up their valuable time in order to promote the sport on a voluntary basis are then liable if some tosser slips on a rock or falls off a slip and decides to claim.......what's the country coming to?

Ye could always organise a weigh-in. Then nobodys liable for what happens during the fishing.

I've finished my rant. Now ye can go back to organising!!!!!!!

Fish meet

Super idea lads. Been out of country for the last few months with work and have not fished. Itchin to get out and an opertunity to meet fellow anglers would be great. Dates don't really bother me as I work shift so I'll go with the flow.

Date

Postby Ed Burke » Thu Sep 23, 2004 1:29 pm

Has there been any confirmed yet? Why not have the meet up sooner than the end of October. Kieran can you work on a date that would suit most people so I can start filling out permission slips for the home office and work? From experience Greystone is best fished at dark so a high tide coinciding with 2 hours of darkness would be ideal. A carpool would help those who depend on public transport get back to the city etc

setting a date and a meet

Postby kieran » Tue Sep 28, 2004 11:17 pm

Hi lads

Why are you asking a guy who lives in Castlebar to organise a meet in Wicklow!!!

Greystones and the south wicklow area is a problem with tide prediction - to give you an example on the 9th October (Satuday) the high tide in Dun Laoghaire is at 8 pm at around 3.5 metres, and on the same day, the high tide in Wexford Town is around 1.2 metres and it is scheduled for 2pm. It is a fairly unique phenomenon that occurs regularly around the south east. Wicklow is listed at around 2 metres and at 7:30 pm so I reckon it would be okay.

Greystones on Saturday 9th October - south beach - or one of the other landmarks (pubs!) would be a good options for yez...

If this is to be a social gathering, at least start it in daylight!

Tides between Dun Laoghaire and wicklow town only vary by I think a 1/2 an hour at most. Arklow is more than 2 hours different from wicklow. You can have this 0 tide thing in Ennereilly on neaps.

I have travelled by boat up and down this coast line from Cahore to Dublin many times and am familiar with this 'Phenomenon' you speak of. Basicly the tide starts coming in then changes its mind and starts going out again for a much smaller tide and then reverts back again! This pattern changes throughout the month resulting sometimes in three tides a day! This effect really only starts to take place from Wicklow head to Black Water where the tide coming in or out does not effect the fishing in any way. All that matters is that the tide is moving. Slack water results in quiet periods of no action. The water only rises or lowers by 1-2 ft in this whole area resulting in no kelp on rocks and weed free slipways. Greystones is not really affected by this, following the normal pattern of rise and falls of 10 ft. As a rule Greystones tide is an hour ahead of the bull wall tide marker. Just look at Dublin bay times and the tide should start coming in an hour earlier.... :wink: I think the phenomen is caused by the tide comeing in from the North Atlantic being met by the tide comeing in from the Celtic sea. The two meet and while one starts to retreat the other is still flowing. this causes a bit of a

greystones tide is about an hour ahead of Dublin. The phenomenon you refer to only stretches between Wicklow head and Black Water. :wink:

I just checked the the tide tables for today and wicklow and dublin are only 20 minutes apart. Arklow is 2 hours behind Wicklow.

The tide times for 'Wicklow' are totally mad! If you check Wicklow head you will often see several rises and falls in one day. (up to seven!) The 'Wicklow' chart is from Mizzen Head right up to Bray! Thats a fair stretch of coast! This can vary on this chart from day to day considerably. There is no hard and fast rule for 'Wicklow' as it is known on the charts.

Still sounds like fun to me! I think we may be taking the tides too seriously for this event. I know we all like catching fish, but for this event I think it's more the taking part that is important. If we were to fish at say 2:00pm and fish through to an hour or three into darkness, that would cover a good tidal sweep. Fish have to feed if they are there and we would all be on an equal playing field barring certain advantages of underwater features.

A group of fishing Buddies have decided to fish a beach at a certain time
While we are here we will have €20 a man, if you want to.
I have a few prizes they are presents the wife and myself got.

Each person is there as an individual and is responsable for themselves

Would it not be better to stage it in the hours of darkness? At least you would have the chance of catching something? :?
