Any one know any contacts in the area.... Not much to be found on Google and I would prefer any recommendations people have anyway!

My first port of call would be information at Shannon Airport and take it from there. Check out flying schools at Shannon - get this off the web.!

Ta but.......... not being rude or anything.............. I have done the obvious things, looking for specific contacts really.

As a fisherman yourself... any hints for fishing in this part of Ireland. Pollack of the rocks and lure fishing - Pike on Lough Derg looks good? I am a bit resticted by the 15kg weight limit on ryan air but am determined to get the rods out. hence - butter the family up with the flying trip!

Not done much sea fishing there. Just pollack off the rocks. I mainly fished Loch Derg on a fairly regular basis. (my brother used to live in Limerick so I was a frequent visitor). Great fun.

Went mainly for Pike. Some big boogers in there. A 28-pounder on light tackle towed our rowing boat 100 yards! Try balloon fishing for them in the reeds.

Definitely rent a boat and, of course, take your wet-weather gear (even in July/August)!
