Ireland spearing 2008

[donnachad]

Hi phishfood, welcome to db. I went to a small sheltered channel in west cork this evening. Stayed in for 90 minutes saw loads of mullet one was the biggest i've seen to date. after half an hour spotted a good sized bass in the bad vis but couldn't turn the gun fast enough, another hour of searching and i mistook a mullet tail in the kelp for a bass and speared it. while i was removing this spear i saw two bass beneath me that disappeared fairly lively Still it's good to see so much life in the seas

phishfood, welcome to db by the way. think the hawaiian sling is similar but the elastic band is actually attached to it. similar principal though.

Hi Danas,

Yep have ordered a effesub suit and lots of other bits from them with no real problems only that it took a while for it to arrive as some of the items were out of stock.

Very good prices very poor communications, they have very few staff to keep prices down but the order always arrives in the end

Ive ordered alot from them but a word of advice. Send them an email with the items you want to order first. They can then tell you whats not in stock and hopfully eliminate any delays.

Feargus is attempting to beat his own Irish records in constant weight and free immersion.
Good luck Feargus!

phishfood, i only sharpened my spear the other day. i got a 5 inch angle grinder with a metal cutting blade and lay it on the ground and switched it on. put the spear to it and rotated it slowly. did the job perfectly!
went to west cork saturday with my girlfriend. vis was poor and a seal was following 20 yards behind me the whole way. saw one bass and missed. changed location but the wind picked up and the vis got even worse!!

Hi Scott, The pollack fishing's pretty good over most of Ireland once weather and sea conditions are OK.
For scenery, Southwest, the Beara peninsula (far West of West Cork), and the ring of Kerry (County Kerry, obviously) are both highly rated.

You should think about heading to the west or south west Scott. It's very scenic and rugged, I won't comment on the weather though but I'm sure it'll pick up soon. If your down my way let me know.
