MAGGOTS are absolutely essential for successful fishing in Ireland.
Like everywhere else in Europe, they will tempt just about every fish that swims and are particularly useful at the start of a fishing session to make a few bites and search out a swim.
Red are the most popular and our regular customers usually request some white maggots so that they have a ‘change’ hookbait. A typical order for each angler staying and fishing for a week will be two gallons of red and a half-a-gallon of white. Do order extra maggots if you intend to become involved in pre-baiting.
A tip for first time visitors: Start on a size 14 hook carrying two or three maggots and work up or down from there, deciding on the size and species of fish and response.
