Nice Thornies!
I saw a netsman with several good Thornies and a Sting Ray of about 20 lbs.
at Querrin Pier, Shannon Estuary today. He also had a Monkfish of about 40 lbs. released.
I thought the Monkfish had disappeared!
If they keep netting the ray will disappear also.

sure what can you do these people will never learn..dont think ive ever met a netsman in all my years..bar the salmon netters that is and they are gone now..the numbers of sea-trout this year in a small local river was unbelievable..best in 20 years some were saying...
