HI Bradan

do you have any idea why there has been a marked decline in numbers ? has it been overfishing - or other factors?

with the slow growth rates is it '70s pollution catching up with us?

cheers, davy

Why would eels be banned in c & r competitions same as Bass from now on .
Catch them and release them no problem.
Note from another web site 2m Conger killed in Tramore why

Did they catch anything else, trout etc?


a few trout,and pike and perch,all put back, as they could lose their licence,and they were checked regulary!!
