sunk boat/carrick marina

#1 Post by carlbfast »

hi lads just wondering if anyones seen this boat right next to the marina wall there,would that not be a good place to attract the odd fish or two,fish it with light gear,or even spin it?

Is this a recent wreck? What type of boat is it? I can't imagine them letting it remain there if it's quite a recent one though.

been there quite a while and its a fishing trawler,not sure to how it sank in the harbour,but i thought it might be a good attraction for some fish,so does anyone know if it would be worth giving it a crack?

Now Im going to say Yes Carl, Try Flinging a Conger Bait towards it, If it indeed has been there for a good while its worth investigation.
