Hi all, bit of an odd one here.
A good friend of mine was in a very serious car accident last year, and his health has not been great since. He has not gotten out and about much and can't do much strenuous activity.
He is from Slovakia and I think he used to do a bit of fishing when he was younger, but he hasn't fished in Ireland. I'd like to see about bringing him out fishing again, more for the mental health aspect of getting out of the house than the actual catching fish. He is living in the general Youghal area.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to give advice on this, and give me some recommendations for decent spots. This guy has been through a very tough time and has a long road ahead of him too.
What I'm looking for
-Will be fishing this summer, so I'm not looking for your winter cod hot spot !
-Some place pretty quiet and not crowded. Getting out into nature for peace and quiet is a big part of this. We won't want to go to the Carpets !
- Not too arduous of a hike. Because of his injuries, my buddy can't haul gear for huge long distances, clamber miles over rocks etc.
- Would love a chance of a fish too. This will be all C&R (apart from mackerel).
All info would be treated in strictest confidence. For once, this is not really about finding a spot to catch fish. This is about giving a bit of joy back to a man who very nearly didn't make it.
