Re: Greystones harbour
Should you be out fishing?

Re: Greystones harbour
I'd like to say I fish for food, which is essential, so yes? They can't stop you from gathering fresh food can they? and how often do you come into contact with other people when fishing anyway?Richie07 wrote:Should you be out fishing?

Re: Greystones harbour
It's also about trying to take the pressure off the hospitals and emergency services. If you're out fishing and have an accident you are taking up their valuable time. Dont be selfish and just stay at home. We'd all like to be out fishing, just stay at home for now.

Re: Greystones harbour
I used to fish for mackerel with feathers when I was younger with my da, he never seemed interested in going for decent tasting fish though so now I'm getting back into it and targeting bass, pollack and flatfish to try and save myself some money on food since I'm poor. I plan on fishing 3-4 times a week this summer and try fill my freezer with decent fish. I'm determined.JOHN1 wrote:you must be good if you can fill your freezer with the fish you catch.

Re: Greystones harbour
I saw that alright. That's the European bass laws but do we not have a different one or do we just go by that.donal domeney wrote:I have a post here on that viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50975kenf41 wrote:Is there updated bass regulations posted on this site for 2020

Re: Greystones harbour
I see this from a while back
'In recreational fisheries, including from shore, in ICES divisions 4b, 4c, 7a to 7k, only catch-and-release fishing for European seabass shall be allowed. It shall be prohibited to retain on board, relocate, tranship or land European seabass caught in that area.’ The new regulation sees a consistent approach being applied throughout the Irish coastline.

Re: Greystones harbour
Hi guys I do a fair bit of boat fishing on the west coast but I have a couple of beachcasters and when this terrible lockdown is over I was going to try and get a bass or even a tope from shore. Has anyone got pointers where I might try for both species without giving out exact marks cos Im hopeful that if Im in the right area I will work it out with trial and error.
