Taking bait to Ireland

Hiya Steve, Been going to Ireland a few years now and often get pulled over in my van at Holyhead, soon as they open the van doors & see all the gear they soon close them again ;). Just make sure your worms are tucked out the way http://simplematchfishing.co.uk/forum2/images/converted_files/yabb...

Joff/Daskin, very good bait is the punch on the stainy, I always start on it rather than fishing nxt to my net,, you sometimes only catch for an hour but I have caught for two hours odd times. Been in 170s, 200s & 230 this series and have bites everytime on it, try it Joff, you'll be surprised.....

Don't know him personally choppy but I know he still fishes, I see his name pop up at Messingham Sands nr Scunthorpe. Once saw the words " Team enjoy" after his name in the results, just after he'd chucked it with Barnsley..

NEW STAINY TEAM SERIES

When the canal was solid and we caught between 14-20lb I took 1kg of gb and mixed it with the soil. That and the 1.5packs of joker were all I ever fed. Alan used to mix two bags and throw most of it away. 4kg of gb has just never happened. It is all bank side talk, I get told all the time we use 2k...
