where are we now

I'll tell you where we are! we are in a country full of fabulous lakes and rivers with little or no access to most of 'em. Platforms that were erected years ago have now all rotted away and 90% of 'em are downright dangerous. I recently spoke to one of our fisheries officers and made the point that nearly all the platforms are in s--t order. I pointed out that two of my anglers had attempted to fish the platform near my house on Kilglass and had just about escaped with their lives as it gave eway under them. I was told that he agreed with me that most of the platforms were dangerous and the situation was 'under revue.' Yeah right it is. I would take a good bet the under revue situation will still be that way this time next year and probably the year after. How can this country expect anglers to visit when they just aren't catered for as they should be? Also. Another thing that does p--s me off is when anglers order bait from me and don't bother to collect it. I have to buy it like anybody else. So remeber Phil Pitt who stayed at Avondale House in Roosky. Next year when you are stuck for bait. Go and whistle Dixy.
