Re: learning to fish
The best advice I can give you is to join a local club, that way you get to learn from the best anglers in the area without having to try make special arrangements. One of the best around is the Menapia club. But it really depends on what part of Wexford you are from or want to fish.
I don't fish to catch fish. I just like using the gear.

Re: learning to fish
have to admitt joining a club will put you in touch with a group of locals that will share their marks and tricks to a fellow member without a problem in fact they will cherish a newbee who needs help nothing like teaching a beginer the ropes!

Re: learning to fish
Just google Menapia S.A.C. you will get all the info. you need from their site. Joe Carley of South East Bait is the chap to contact. If you are free tomorrow, head up to the fun match in Graystones, it should be a good way to meet a few lads and get some advice.
