HAYES  |
The
man who knocked John Wilson off the top slot In the UK. Mr. Matt
Hayes. Check out this site, you can send the guy an email and he
will answer. |
AnglersNet.co.uk
 |
The site received its first Award last week. We were presented
with the Golden Fish Award from the AnglersNet group. Cheers! |
Fishing
Fan
 |
Came
across this site while I was doing the weekly search of the web.
It's well put together and has a lot of very useful links and
tips. The piece I like the best about it is the online games. Have
a go. |
Grauvell
 |
Here's
a name for the future. Grauvell have been on the market for a
number of years but are really making the effort to push their
brand. I've recently bought one of their boat rod range from this
site and I'm very pleased with its action. |
| www.fishingmagic.com |
Well
laid out site, easy to move around. The best thing is the shopping
partners section where they have links to other online
stores to look at. This site seems to specialize in Coarse
Angling. |
| WorldSeaFishing |
A
site I haven't been on in a while. A lot of useful information on
all aspects of fishing. |
| Total
Fishing |
These
are the guys who publish "Total Sea Angler" and
"Total Match Angler". You can see that this is their
business and not a hobby. This is the way that all fishing sites
should aspire to be. |
| UK
Fish Species |
I've
used this a couple of times to try and verify certain locally
caught fish |
Know your
Species
 |
Although this site has been in the archives of our links page
since the site went live, I think it deserves another mention for
two reasons, firstly because of the great job they're trying
to do by recording all species found in our waters, and secondly,
it's vital that all anglers fishing in competitions know how to
identify the different species, especially the small differences
between certain flat-fish types. |

Moby
Dick
 |
I
had to include this classic. I bought this last week on Amazon and
I've nearly worn it out already. The original and the best, it was
filmed in Cork you know! |
UK
Hooks
 |
Check
out Mike Taylor's site. If you're looking for a type of hook that
you can't find anywhere else, he'll have it. Mike is also a
supplier to the English Boat Team. I've recently bought circle
hooks of him to try out and was impressed with the speed of
delivery. Tell him where you saw the article and see if he'll do a
deal. |
| www.tackleshop.co.uk |
I
haven't bought anything off these guys yet, and don't know if I
will, some of products I've looked at seem a little expensive
compared with the likes of Gerry's and Veals. But on the plus
side, its a very slick clean, easy to navigate site. |

Bass
Pro Shop
 |
I've
been fishing with a few people over the past week that have shown
me things that they've bought in tackle shops in the US which I
liked but can't find them here. This site might help you like it
helped me. |
DO
IT MOLDS
 |
So
you think that Lead Weights are getting far too expensive, well
here's an idea, for a small once-off investment you can buy any
shape and size mould for weights or lead heads from this crowd.
Buy with a buddy. I can vouch for them, I've spent over $200 with
them and I've never had a problem. They deliver within a week. |
| Father's
Day Gift's |
Now
that Mother's Day is over, it's time to get your own back. Check
out this site for some great ideas. make sure you tell the kids
where to get your pressie. My own favorite is the "AA"
T-shirt. The slogan is, "part of the solution is admitting
there's a problem". |
| EBAY
-- I did and I saved loads |
You
have to check out EBAY, you've all heard of it, but I've done it
and lived to tell the tale. Just bought an OKUMU reel worth over
300euros in the shops completely shipped to my door, brand new for
less than 180euros, you do the math ! |
| West
Marine |
Great
place to buy gear for the boat. Cheap at the moment with the
exchange rate. |
| eAngler.com |
Haven't
bought anything yet from here, but worth having a browse |
| Gofishin.com |
This
is a really good site. I've bought goods off here at really cheap
prices. And all were received within a week. |
| Hootchie
Muppets |
Great
site, thousands of Muppets to choose from. Very helpful bunch. I
had my gear delivered in just over a week all the way from Canada |
| Fishbites.com |
These
guys are starting to get a few articles written about them in the
English magazines. I tried to buy some goods off them, waiting
forever to hear from them only to be eventually told that they
were out of stock |

Security
Tips
 |
I
came across this site which has security tips for all measures of
society, but they have a few good ideas in their Marine Security
Section. |
HALLOWEEN
 |
Super
site to give you some ideas for this festive time of year when
you're unable to go fishing because the weather is too bad. |
FISHING
CHANNEL 9  |
This
site has been made famous by the contributions by the owners of
the "Dirty Fecker", this is the boat that caught the
attention of the media during the summer when the lifeboat was
called out to rescue them. The fish reports are great. Give it a
look. |
FISHnKIDS
 |
This site
is sponsored by one of the larger fishing tackle stores in the US.
It's a fairly small site, but it has some nice ideas for the kids. |
KNOTS
 |
This
site has a really good idea, they've animated their knots to show
you how it done. If it doesn't work first time, hit the
"reload" on your browser. |
Paper
FISH
 |
It's
not a spice, its pronounced, OR-RI-GAM-EE. As a kid we all tried
our hand at it, so check out what the professionals can do with a
bit of paper. |
GOOGLE
 |
They're
all over the paper, you hear them on the news about their big IPO,
well, try them out, they're the best search engine around. |
MEG-
what is it?
 |
Four
years ago I came across this book. I've read it about 10 times and
still think its fantastic to this day. It's a must for any fans of
JAWS. Click
here to buy it. |
IQ
TEST
 |
So
you want to "think like a fish", take an IQ test and see
if you have the brains to. I did and got 122, they told me I was
an "inventive inquisitor" what ever that means? |
Save
our Sea
 |
"Here
he goes again", I suppose this link came about while I was
looking for information on the whales, but I have to say, we
really should be doing our bit. Check out the site for some ideas,
so there's a few fish left for our children as well. |
Marineengine.com
 |
I had serious problems with my engine over the last week,
thankfully it ended up being nothing more than dirty petrol, but I
found this site very helpful, especially the message board, see for
yourself. |
Boat
Fishing Monthly
 |
According
to people I've been talking to recently, this magazine deserves to
be supported by boat anglers everywhere. Considering you now see
more ad's in Sea Angler Magazine than anything else, and Total Sea
Angler is starting to go the same way. Let's give this mag a go. |
The
Airplane Project
 |
ARSBC
- The Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia are nearing
their goal of placing their first artificial reef off their coast.
Great story and pictures. |
Hong
Kong AR
 |
One
of the most heavily fished waters in the world is off Hong Kong.
But even they have realized that mankind has the ability to also
fix its mistakes. Check out this Artificial Reef Site. |
| Running
a Club |
For
anybody who is in any way involved in running a club, be it
angling, soccer, anything. This guy not only has some valuable
pointers, he also writes well too, with some great sayings you can
quote. Check the bottom of his page for other links. |
| David
Miller |
Check
out this site. If the kids are looking for something to buy you
for Fathers day, you could do a lot worse than one of his
paintings to hang on the wall and cheer you up during the long
winter months. |
| Boat
Safety |
Here's
a great link sent in by one of our local boat owners, Laurence
Byrne. A real must for anyone owning a boat or considering buying
one. |

A
well laid out American site with loads of info being added on a
daily basis. For anyone needing to find out info about fishing in
the US. |

The
man who invented the Hog. Great crowd to buy boats off. Just ask
for Arnie. |
