HI Guys. I've spent a lot of time in Norway recently and the fishing has got to be experienced to be believed.
If you are interested in an affordable trip. Take a look at www.fishingsport.com

Check out the Irish pages poacher, give you a sense of what is achievable over there. Counties, Kerry, Cork and Donegal produce for us on a consistent basis as does the port of Kilmore Quay. Kilmore would be the most convenient for you guys if you don't want to travel too far, dead easy to get to, drive to Pembroke Dock or Fishguard, hop on ferry, couple of hours over the Irish Sea, quick 20 minute drive to Kilmore and you're there! Recommend you stay in Kimore, the Quay House, can't really beat it, best pub (pint and food) Kehoes (as people will recall I mention this place often) Couple of lads from this forum went last year a week before we did, can't remember who it was though! Plenty of places to fish both off shore and shore and you can mostly get out with the weather. But as with everywhere, weather is always a pain! Plenty of charter boats too.
If you want anymore info, I can dig out some e-mail addys, phone numbers out for you.

thanks guys. ive put them in myfavourites. wont lose them,, ..

Couldn't agree more codfather! Brian and Cheryl are very dear friends of ours, Brian, and I'm not just saying this, is probably one of the best skippers we've ever been out with. Loughcarrig House houses some excellent accommodation, and the Cork area has excellent fishing too. Although, we popped in quickly on our way back from Kerry this year and the sad news is that for the moment Murphs (the pub you're talking about) has closed. I know I couldn't belive it, a pub closed in Ireland! Did a mean Guinness too...

I doubt you are, but we were doing a feature and radio program over there around 3 years ago, don't suppose you where the guy who was over with his father, from Swansea, and one of you caught a Sea Scorpion ?? It's a long shot I think there was a Ryan Air pilot onboard too? Like I said, its a long shot!

 

[codfather]

yes it was me and my father,if iremember right wasnt Norman dunlop on the boat with us as well. hoping to be going over next september.have to give brian a ring in the new year,keep up the good work best wishes for crimbo to you and your family.(hope the pubs open)

 

[Mike Thrussell Jr]

How's about that then! Small world! Yes Stormin' Norman was aboard that day! I've forgotten what we caught sadly, I just remembered the sea scorpion. We had blonde ray too at one stange, just can't remember which day that was! Great to hear from you and I hope you continue to enjoy using the forum and chat room if you ever get chance.

Best wishes to you and your family for xmas and new year!
