Not a bad evenings fishing although I was hoping for some bigger flatties. There was the odd Sea Trout jumping. My Buddie fished for them for a bit but didn't hook one. One guy caught one about 2lbs about 50 yards away from us.

I have heard that there is a netting season in that area. It is now confined to 3 weeks of the year. I'm not suggesting that these lads were legal. They might not have been. A lot of illegal netting goes around all over this country. RTE managed to record some illegal salmon netting without any hassle when they were covering the "remove salmon nets now" campain. This was in the middle of the day. And now the Salmon lads are turning their hand to inshore Bass netting. One reason I carry a Camera with me when fishing is so I can C&R and maybe make a post here, the other is to catch these idiots in the act.

Is that true MAC?
My query here is more to MAC than anything else. Although well done gitboy on your beautiful sea trout. Tell me MAC, is that true what you say about these salmon lads now turning their hand to in shore net bass fishing? It saddens me deeply to think so! If it is, how long have they been practicing this? How successful are they? Will they get away with it? Will it have an effect on the already depleted bass stocks? How do you know this? Where did you get your information from? I apologise for the third degree but I'm really interested in the practice of conserving fish stocks. Thanks, John Devlin. :?: :shock:
Protect the magical sport of sea angling and spread the word that conservation is the way forward. Put fish back!!!!
