Thanks AGAIN Darren and Rob!
I'm really enjoying the easy writing and thus reading of our brother contributors on here.
I've heard much about Darren from Rodders over the years (all good) and he captures the spirit of these adventures just nicely in this piece.

(I must go again this year faced)

Cheers for the nudge Rob i'm glad i did it now, very daunting thing to do but when you get the comments back from other pikers it really is a buzz.

Cheers for compliments really appreciated and cheers Rob, i won't be making a habbit of it though because as they say over the water "i'm shoite"

Roll on Spring

Great read Darren, had a week over on the Shannon and Derg a few years ago, I would love to go back with my own boat but I cant see the wife letting me play out for a week with a baby on the way

I will keep trying though

Not been back over Ireland for a few years now. Darrens great read took me right back to the good times i had there.

Well done Rob, Darren.

Bill.

Thanks mate, great little article and having met Harry (Mr Kay ) in the Blue Bowl I can picture the pish take, he had me and Trimmy in stitches !

If anyone fancies having a go at an article then please let me know, Have A Go !

I need stuff coming in as i'm running out of material. Then it'll fizzel out or worse still i'll have to stick one of my long winded scribbles up , lol !

Next week will see an exclusive that will document probably the greatest all-round catches of 20lb+ pike in a day/week in UK angling history.

Great article, well done all concerned

Well done Dazza, a good read and your passion for Ireland and big waters comes across well. You need to buy that fat, Wlsh farmer a drink for talking you into going to start with. Is he the same one with all the caravans?

Nice read... I love everything Irish...

And as Rob has asked me to put pen to paper so to speak...

I hope you won't mind another Irish one..

Good article mate and agree the bug does really get you, still laughing to myself about the rendition of VIENNA!

Harry

Pikey Phil · Post by **Pikey Phil** » Fri Jan 06 2012 15:24

Is that Harry as in Plump Harry?

Another one for the Irish Ferry.
