That's a fine trout. He's been around a few years I'd say! Please tell me that he's still alive?

Stressica · 14-08-2013 10:02am

myself and the father out last night, literally every throw we kept getting 3/4 Pollock, there was a huge shoal out there, gannets were going crazy got one 3lb'er too.

into the freezer for winter as my dad refuses to go fishing, only from May-september/October really as its "cold"

Tide was almost full, and it was pitch dark when we left, cant beat the southwest breeze and fog coming off the atlantic, only decent catch so far this year!

redzerologhlen · 14-08-2013 12:08pm

Some fun filleting and skinning all of them I would say, I wouldnt bother keeping a pollock unless it was at least 3lbs, too much effort cleaning them for whats on them otherwise. Looks like west Clare!!

.red. · 14-08-2013 5:34pm

Some of them fish are tiny. Im not usually one to preach C&R but thats taking the p!$$

dodderangler · 14-08-2013 6:09pm

Personally I dot see the point in taking all that much home.
Some are quite small but jesus give them a chance to grow.

Pj! · 14-08-2013 6:43pm

If they are all being eaten it's not the end of the world.

You would have freaked out if you had have seen what I saw the other day on West Pier Howth.

2 Chinese men fishing in between the rocks on the outside of the pier.

Dropping down handlines with size 2 hooks and pulling up tiny Pollack from within the gaps in the rocks and the water under them.

They put them into plastic bage as they caught them.

I was fishing close to them and was both shocked and annoyed to see what they were doing.

So I went over and asked them why they were taking/killing such small/young fish.

Answer in broken english was .."we eat this fish,very nice with rice and soy sauce".

I told them both to stop taking such small fish,and any more they catch,to put them back alive into the water.

They packed up fast and walked hurridly back up the pier.

I fcuking well hate people like this..:mad::mad:

Thats a rather poor attitude to have with regards to taking young/juvenile fish,future fish stocks and species conservation.

We all have a part to play in this.....and we all should do our part too.

A little bit of cop on there and thought for the area and local fish stock seems to be lacking with the people who caught and killed all those fish.

I hope you reported this to Inland Fisheries Ireland. Don't know exactly what they could do but sure report it anyway. Maybe if you see these guys at it again take a photo of them and tell them you are reporting them. At the very least they will stop and move on?

In fairness there is no law there to say its illegal. It is probably worse for fish stocks to be taking the bigger breeding fish however it doesnt change the fact of how pointless it is to take such small fish. On another note I caught 4 proper sized pollock yesterday and they were all hungry looking fish, very strange for this time of year.

I must confess that when i caught the fish i was unsure as to the type it was, so i took a close up pic of its tail.imo the wideneck leading to a flatter type tail looks like a trout?I also took a close up of its head both are attached,

Nice where is that man I live in the west thinking of starting salmon fishing.

I know there's no law against it but should have a bit of cop on about it.

Im not arguing that point with you dodderangler. I meant there was no point pestering ifi staff about it when there is nothing they can do.

8lb 9oz, caught on 3 rubber casters during a 48hr session last weekend.

I agree there. For the likes of sea fishing and taking too many fish and fish under size they wouldn't be bothered about it.
Tell them about someone hooking a salmon and they'd be down in a heartbeat.

There's a difference between being bothered and being able to do something about it. The simple fact is some fish are protected by legislation and others aren't. But you know this.

ROREO93 · 22-08-2013 9:51am

I caught this beaut a while ago...

Bromium · 24-08-2013 10:21am

Both taken on a prince nymph and both released healthy.

Dad was spinning with feathers for mackerel and caught this fella, a garfish I believe, never even knew they were present where we fish, are they common?

do people eat them?

So you kept it without knowing if they're eaten by people?

jack01986 · 01-09-2013 4:11pm

Don't think they are the best eating. I think their bones turn green when cooked so can be a bit off putting.

Dad kept it not me, he didn't know what it was, until he brought it back and I double checked online.

Auldloon · 01-09-2013 9:33pm

I've really had enough of people on this forum killing first and asking questions after. Does "dad" not have a phone in his pocket that takes pics? If people want to fish then at least educate yourself a bit before killing anything.

Same fish alright. Look at the spots on the gill plate.

Come to think it is.
Have a look at the spots above the pectoral fin
They both have same gap and pattern

I did actually, uploaded two of the same fish both were practically the same size and hard to tell the difference when uploading from the phone. At least there is an extra good view of that one now. Will throw the other fish pic up later.

Kippure · 06-09-2013 3:27pm
