Fishing is in the air this week. Last evening I met a couple who are over househunting. He is a qualified angling coach and they hope to move to Ireland in about three years time. Told them about the cottage on the Cloghan road which has a price tag of over 170,000 Euros. There is also a bungalow for sale in Correen.
Yesterday the three bearded anglers arrived - Dave Kemp, Steve Nell and Frank Seal. No wives just fishing.Planning last night.
Steve Fletcher and pal are catching fish. They use a boat and anchor in a likely looking spot and put one maggot on a hook. If there is no bite after thirty minutes they move.And they caught yesterday.
See that in Vietnam 30,000 fish farms breed 200,000 tonnes of shrimp worth 500 Million Dollars in export.
Mr and Mrs Steed are here and found the access to fish upstream from the new jetty unfriendly with the gap in the first fence too narrow, the ground uneven and no stile or gate on the new boundary fence.Contacted OPW and Shannon Fisheries today.
