    Hi I was going to take my young fella to Corkagh Park tomorrow, but my local bait shop in Naas told me I would have to watch my stuff up there is that true?

    Well it's a public park.
    I guess is you left a road and reel lying somewhere and came back 10 minutes later it might be gone, or it might not.
    Does this make it different from anywhere else?

    Stuff not in the car is on my person, at Corcagh Park, but also at all other fishing locations too.

    Very true, it's just the way it was said to me that's all, I think they got that impression cause it's changed management a few times. Thanks for the reply.:)

    I heard that during the changeover period there were people ignoring the rules.
    I fished it once since and it seemed ok in that respect.

    He's really looking forward to it, and thats what it's about, he would do a lot of carp fishing in England with my brother, and he loves Oaklands but New Ross is too far and we're in Clane so Corkagh is the nearest to us.

    He asked me to try and find out what would be the best peg to fish?:D

    Can't speak about best peg, but coming from Clane, wouldn't Maynooth Fishery be also a reasonable distance?

    I thought Maynooth was a syndicate lake? And wouldn't do a day ticket for a young fella.

    I'll do that, it would be brilliant if he could fish in Maynooth, I'll try and google now to find out some more info on them, thanks for that :D

    Just googled them and they do day tickets, so thats another one I can add to the list of places he'd like to fish, according to their website they restocked it last year with a lot of French carp which are doing really well, have quite a few over 30lbs and loads between 20lb and above. Sounds like a good place to go, thanks for that :D

    Since Oct 2009 I can honestly say no-one using the lakes has had any tackle or gear stolen. However people leaving handbags and cameras on the front seat of thier car in the carpark have not been so lucky.
