davie mac Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 buckfast how is the boat did you get any fishing or shooting yet .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckfast d Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Davy i will be honest with you mate it hasn't even moved as i have had a bad flu and even ended up in hospital with it. i hope to get out on Friday for a wee rip around the lough, will slip her in at oxford island (the boat that is lol) and have a wee scout around, i'm still not 100% postive about shooting from it to be honest so i have e-mailed the good people at BASC as i think it could differ from country to region even i.e. sunday shooting!!no sunday shooting etc etc do you get out shooting yourself in the co.armagh area???

davie mac Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 aye was out round aghalan only one pigeon came near us absolutely **** if your going to put the boat in at kinnego i think you need insurance from the council to use the slipway you mite be batter to put the boat in at portadown and scoot up the bann you might get something along the river also there is some good spots for fishing that you cant get at from the bank ps, im not sure if your aloud to shoot on the bann.
