If you ever venture over here between May & July I'll put you onto some great Tench fishing lakes & rivers

 

[Northernraider]

They look so chilled out today, is it getting warm for them…

35° today ...Still 22° now . They're getting better at just chilling out so I'm not complaining lol

Your bad Tam.... lol
Funny that peg I was on in those pics was 1 of the disabled pegs on that lake but it was around 4.00am this morning and I was away for 8.00am so no one around

 

[Northernraider]

Aye its warm lol. This spot I'm at is a blessing though. Van is shaded under the trees so keeps it fairly cool . And that wee river at the beach is great , fresh water and clean so it's great for the dogs.

We will have been here 2 weeks though come Monday so I'm thinking about moving . But temps are set to rise still so I'm trying to plan where to head next that we can get some shade .
It's apparently not normal temps for this time of year and greek authorities are worried about fires as it was a very mild winter. And everything is dry . There's apparently already been lots of fires in the North of Greece.

Don't think I can handle it much warmer. Daytimes are fine but nights are sticky

Suppose as long as you stay on the coast you'll always have a wee breeze and less humidity but I'm sure with a bit of research hopefully you'll find somewhere

I've roughly 3 weeks yet before our ferry so will probably just head up towards patra, maybe stop a couple of days between here and there and then maybe explore lefkada a bit more.

I had considered going to zante for a fortnight but not sure how much the ferry is .

Kefalonia is great too. Quite big, lots to see, short hop on ferry into Poros, which is a quiet sleepy port on kefalonia , one of my favourite Greek islands

Lefkada is great

 

[nicholsong]

Lefkada is great

Lefkada is only an 'island' because somebody cut a canal through the isthmus. No ferry needed, just drive over the bridge.

I used to go over a lot in late eighties early nineties for matches, been to a few places, favourite was a holiday on a boat along the Shannon and pushed it into some reads in the middle of nowhere, on a whip and pulling 1-2lb roach hybrids out all day long… I’ve still got all my gear and I’ve always promised myself to get over there in the van and do a leisurely fishing tour…..

One day…

Great pics
Unfortunately we don't have carp naturally in Ireland, unless you go to fisheries, although some have got into the natural waterways the numbers are very low and they don't seem to survive outside the fisheries,
I know the Shannon like the back of my hand but the big tench live in the east Clare lakes that's where you need to take your van to

Lol No you don't eat coarse fish big yin, although the Germans & French that come here kill everything they catch even pike! By far the best visiting anglers who treat the countryside and the fish with respect are the British anglers

P.sthe Germans don't respect anywhere they go lol. Or at least most of them don't. There's signs everywhere here saying no fires, bbq's etc . Guess whit

 

[CaptainPaul]

Ah but trout are game fish they do get eaten, coarse fish are too boney although some people do still eat them, but not if your within 10 miles from a decent chipper! Lol

It’s there, just curled away from the camera angle…

In Poland they eat Carp as a speciality, e.g. for Christmas Dinner. I refuse - dirty fish.
