all i take to ballyconnell is 1 feeder rod and 1 float rod
on the woodford river which is just next to ballyconnel main street
i had 1 pint of caster
and about 4lb of groundbait
fished feeder
4lb maxima reel line
4.6lb stillstar hook lenth
14 hook
fished double caster 5 am until 12 oclock dinner time
121 lb 12 oz of bream and hybreads
to 4lb
cracking fishing
(all i take the float rod is incase it is windy then i use a sidewinder) much better with a stiffer rod
but there are a lot of places close by and the manager of the woodford will show you them no probs
just say you have been talking to old git (andy thompson)(tomma)lol
it isn`t the size of the tiddler that counts
