Henry Gilbey was astounded at the array of professionals and the crowds at the Swords Angling show. It was a great success as Henry says ” I am sitting here in my hotel room in Dublin reflecting on the weekend’s Ireland Angling Show that took place on Saturday and Sunday, and my one overriding and admittedly not very imaginative word is “wow”. That seriously was one impressive fishing show – by about 11am on the Saturday morning the place was that busy that you had to kind of pick your route to move around. I did a couple of talks and here’s a big thank you from me to all of you who turned up and seemed to/pretended to listen, perhaps even enjoy it (?) and from what I could tell, not fall asleep too much at 40 odd minutes of me yapping to you about your awesome bass fishing.
Henry goes on to tell us how he met Multi-World Champ Bob Nudd and also the wonderful Mary Gavin-Hughes who if you don’t know is a professional charter skipper out of Clew bay up in Mayo. No better lady than Mary to fish the 365 islands of Clew Bay. Jim Clohessy from Cork was there as was the lads from the Irish Kayak Angling Club. From the neighbouring county we had Paul and Mary Harris all the way up from the Beara Peninsula in Kerr.
