Fishing suitable for the old man (70+)

#1 Post by Chris T »

Hi all,

I'm trying to plan the now annual fishing trip for the old mans birthdsy. He's a touch over 70 but very fit. We fished little killary last year and it was great, heart in mouth a few times at low water when he ventured into the rocks but he managed well.

I'd like to find somewhere a bit easier though as the last thing I want is to have to get him airlifted to hospital with a broken ankle!

Can anyone suggest any marks with good mixed fishing which would be easily accessed and not too dangerous. Beaches are an option obviously but rock marks obviously offer better variety.

He lives in Leitrim so northwest would suit best.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!
