it really beggers believe sometimes why anglers kill such fine fish for the sake of a feed & a fish...shocking
whats so shocking about keeping a fish fish for the pot ,we all put a lot of time and expence
into fishing and its nice every now and then to get something back
well done again john

thats a fair point john,if it was for the pan thats cool by mebhoy32 wrote:cheers dave well happydavequirke@hotmail.com wrote:NICE RAY HAPPY MAN
cheers paul ya i took it for the table. i dont kill every fish i catch but i do enjoy to eat my catch on occasion. i am fully aware of catch and realese and all the benefits of it and i teach my kids to be conservation minded when fishing but i also believe the odd fish coming home for the pan is ok so long as it is not wasted. i didnt just take it home for the sake of the picture and then toss it in the bin which i have seen fellas dopaul skelly wrote:lovely ray man![]()
last pic looks like you tuck it home57 ray i caught last year i kept 4 for the pan some people might not like that but such is life.

i didnt post the pics to upset or offend anyone please dont turn this thread into a catch and release debate we have had enough of them on here already and they always end up turning sour![]()

Re: east cork speci ray great friday
magic fish john must have been a great fight congrats super fish dont see the point in some people giving out about taking 1 fish guys netting the beaches are doing alot more damage was on a east cork beach sat night and saw two boats very close to the shore
