Hi
Just wandering if anyone knows how to contact Andrew Boyce that ran this shop.
I purchased a rod off him four months ago and had to return it as the rod that was sent down was the wrong one .
On returning it I was promised that the money would be returned to my account but two months later I stills have not received anything and I am unable to contact him by phone or mail . I am just wandering if anyone knows how to contact him or are in the similar situation .As I am living in cork I can't call to the shop and have been told that it is closed
Thanking you for any information.

Is this shop still open ?

I was there today. It is supposed to be open from 10 am to 2 pm, but it was closed. Nothing on the door : no annual closure, no opening hours, etc...

So I didn't get bait... well, I suppose the weather would have ruined my fishing anyway :D

I dont think there was any kind of sale,just seemed to be locked up all of a sudden.
it's a pity it didnt work out for him,he put a lot of effort into setting it up, a sure sign of the tough times were living in.

Hard times to be in the fishing tackle trade, right now. I bought a cheapo €20 fs reel the other week that I didn't really need, just to give my local shop a bit of turnover.
