Lost gear Black Head

#1 Post by PJKaiser »

Was fishing the rocks at the lighthouse in Black Head this afternoon and was parked in the layby on the road right across from the lighthouse.
Like a fool I left my rucksack down while putting the rods in the car and never picked it up.
All my newly acquired gear for lure fishing was in the rucksack.
There was about €200 worth of lures, leads etc.
I know the chances are slim but if anyone picked it up could you please pm and there will be a monetary reward paid for recovery of it.
I have been unemployed now for months and cant afford to replace the gear so I said its worth a try posting here.
Thanks

Thats very hard kuck PJ, with a bit of luck hopefully it will turn up, if there is any local shops you might put a lost notice up, local garda station might be worth asking if anything was handed in, good luck :wink:

Thanks for having a look around there.
I rang Mick this.morning and he hadnt heard anything.
Good few tourist bus stop there so tried ringing Ballyvauvhan Guards to see if anything dropped in but there is no answer from the phone. Maybe the station is only staffed couple of days a week..
Thanks again

I suppose it just depends PJ who picked it up...you could get lucky that it was a decent individual but unfortunately the chances these days are that it was a wan*er who was delighted with a bag of free gear. I haven't been up around Black Head in a few years but I believe the clientelle isn't great these days !!! I presume it's Black Head in Co. Clare that you're talking about ?

How's things John.
Appreciate you making the few inquiries.
Thanks for the very kind offer of gear but I should be getting a few bits from Red today and a couple of lads have promised a few bits also.
Cheers again for your offer.
