Thats some going catching a Salmon in the sea mate. You definately need a game license to keep a Salmon, wouldn't imagine it will be a common occurance though.

Re: culdaff 14-3-10
All you need for salmon and sea trout at Culdaff is a Lough's Agency licence, £16 for the year, hard to beat. That allows you to fish the Culdaff River too as far as I know.
2011 Species: 191lb Common Skate, Mackerel, Pollock, Spotted Ray, Spurdog, Thornback Ray, Tub Gurnard

without belittling your catch are you sure it was a salmon and not a good seatrout culdaff gets some fine seatrout even the odd bass r 10 but ive never heard of a salmon getting caught in the sea not on rod and line i say this with the greatest respect as an angler

Re: culdaff 14-3-10
If you're sure it was a salmon, stick to your guns. Stranger things have happened- I caught a 4 lb seatrout off the beach on a bluey head pennel rigged with hooks that would fear you(last cast with the very last of bait- boy did that pay off).
