hi Wayne.


would you not consider taking a trip out to howth to have a close up look at some either on the harbour wall or in howth marine supplies and bring a camera with you. :wink:

as far as i know you are only legally allowed to have three lobster/crab pots fishing at any one time :shock: for personal consumption. :wink: .

good luck.

hi wayne was wondering if you were putting the pots out to sea or making them for somebody, just a little advice on if u are putting them out to sea , as far as i know there is now a law on taking a couple of lobster for the pot without a liscence u could do it a few years ago but some of the commercial fishermen around wicklow have told me there is law in place now and if caught you face a hefty fine so cant tell you any more than that really as me and the mates have a boat and were thinking of doing the same but were put off on good advice. in fairness the lads sort us out with the odd few as well as crab if we want them all the best. :?
