off to Ireland for 9 days Piking.

Count down is on, I will be on the mighty Shannon, from Friday afternoon for nine whole days, Adie has very kindly volunteered to be my daily reporter, I have no access to a computer whilst I am away, Its an annual trip and sometimes the fishing is slow, but hey, just looking forward to being out there, there is always the chance that we may blank but then again the Shannon is a mighty river with the chance of hooking into a monster fish See you all when I get back

Gud look on the shanon steve mate

good luck steve. been there a few times, hope it doesn't get too windy

Good luck and have fun.

Not too much Guiness and Craic eh?

Cheers Guys
