Caught 4 in total before the shoal moved away and I lost my lure

Has anyone bought one of those belly boats/float tubes? What’s the craic with them? Basically a floating seat you paddle around lakes in? I saw a few online for around €300 (some even cheaper) brand new and I’m seriously tempted.

My fear is I’ll use it once and never use it again (I’ve got form for this).

Anyone know of good boat hire on upper Lough Erne?

Guys,

Any good recommendations for pike & perch in NI, wanting to get my son started, no dead baiting as I know the waters are warming so it would be lure fishing.

Open for suggestions, if there is anywhere 30/40 mins from Lurgan?

Anyone know anywhere i could rent a boat out and catch a few pollock and makerel

I really don't know what to use

Hey guys. I'm hoping to get a new boat next year, but I won't be able to keep it at the house. It's a 16.5ft alumnacraft with trailer, probably total 18/19ft.

I'm looking for somewhere off the M4, in Mulingar or Cavan. As I do pretty much all my fishing in the Midlands.

I've called a few places but they all seem to be full. So any help on this would be great.

Hey Everyone,

The next meetup is going to be Ballybunnion Beach on Saturday the 30th of May fishing darkness.

Date: 30/05/2026

Time: Meeting 20:00 – 21:00

Fishing: 21:00 – 1:00ish

Location: Ladies Beach, Ballybunnion

https://maps.app.goo.gl/G2sShc3LnEQtvjj4A

FIshing for Bass, Ray and Flats.

Recommended Bait. Sandeel, lug worm, Peeler Crab

Recommended Rigs, 2/3hook flappers , Pulley rig, up and overs.

Ballybunnion beach ( Ladies Beach) is a surf beach in the town. We will meet at the road down to the beach. We will be fishing the tide over low water. Tide here can move fast once its turned so I'd advise having waders and travel light. Be aware that if there is surf that it can move 20/30 meters so if you are bringing any seat boxes keep them well up the sand. Headlights are a must here at night so be aware of bringing them. This is a great beach for getting some bass and can be very good for ray.

If anyone has any questions please dont hesitate to give me a shout

I have heard mix reports someone lad i know said the fishing has gone to shite I just want to know your opinions

Alright lads I’m targeting sea bass but having no luck so far, any good spots around cork, what part of the tide is best And what lures are ye using

Live nearby in Cork and would love to try fishing within the area. Up for going along with someone who knows the place, new enough to fishing here.

The weather was shite but the trout were biting. All caught on a single hook size 1 mepps spinner gold with red dots and single hook size 1 ilba spinner copper with blue dots. All released safely as they were under the size limit for this section of the Suir

Great afternoons fun...

Had 4 if a similar size but as it was my first time out so didn't want to end up in the drink for not concentrating on the water while taking photos.

Crabs mangled the mackerel I threw out on the bottom so I'll have to change rig up next time to see if I can get something bigger

I have heard cement factory is good for pike and perch. Just wondering if anyone has fished it I will attempt to fish it next week

I am looking got a reel under 20 euro

Ive been scouting out some shore spots along the east coast , came across this spot , its sketchy af to get down to , looking for anybody with experience from this spot , is it worth trying to fish this mark ?

Hi all, I am from Leitrim.
Me and my da do regularly go fishing in the local lakes and rivers and catch trout pike perch and roach. We were wondering about catching eels? As you know they are critically endangered so obviously we would return them to the water alive. From what I can gather online they migrate out to the sea towards the Caribbean to continue the breeding cycle in which they get flushed on the gulf towards Ireland where they go through the Shannon to local rivers and lakes. Can anyone give me any advice on what type of bait I would use to catch them? And would rivers or lakes be my best ? I was told that lakes with a muddy silty base tend to have a lot of eels. Thank in advance.

I am hoping to go off shore Wrecking sometime this summer but I can't find many Charters that do it. I tried the Charter in Wicklow but they wouldn't answer my calls or emails.

Any recommendations?
