I would class DB Plummer as an arch bull shitter, inventing himself on Tuesday and writing a book by Friday type of bloke, but sadly expecting us all to believe his blarney, but still better than J Darcy. I shall check him out, thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I’m mad but I’m going to give one of the western loughs a good go this winter, there about 1.5 hrs away, so not too bad. I know the IFI gill net it, but there’s still a few special fish left in it! They’re only 22,000 and 44,000 acres in size !! I’d be giving it a bash too they’ll only of scratched the surface nettin it… pm walshie if there’s anything about your neck of the wood in that book, I sent him a while back! id be tempted to troll it with dead baits and bells the old way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do I need to tell him? It just had a massive list of all the big pike caught going back donkeys years all over the uk and Ireland . he asked about a spot near him so I gave him the book as it had the lake in and some history on it?! Them drifter floats are good for covering large spots with good braid on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
