If it's the same as the previous three years you can fish where you like Simon. As Jon said, the only requirements are that you sign-in on Friday morning at Absolute Fishing in Tramore and, if you're in with a shout, you need to be back with your pics by 2pm Sunday latest.

Knowing your tactics Steve it will be two hours in the East, two hours drive, a couple of hours fishing in the West. Can of redbull, two hour drive, fishing in the East again......

Maybe someone can help me out here... I'm a South African national, with a South African passport. Do I need a visa to visit Ireland? From what I've just read, it looks like that under the Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) Order 2014, article 3a, I do not need a visa! Can anybody confirm this? I have wanted to fish in Ireland for some time now...

Hi Nigel, I am sure you don't need one, as South Africa falls into the list of countries who's citizens are not required to carry a visa when landing in the state, but if you like I will ring the Department of Immigration in the morning and get back to you.

Thanks Jon and Steve , that's what I thought but a quick look at the report of 2012 on Absolute Fishing site planted a seed of doubt.

That wasn't me Steve I would have been in the shop drinking coffee for the duration!

I hope it wasn't this scurrilous rascal ...

I would suggest you don't accept lifts with strangers in future ;-)
