Was it returned?

evilgannet · 11-03-2012 1:01pm

Top one is about 9oz/29cm smaller one about the 6oz/24cm

They are for dinner to-night.

Trout always go well with new potatoes and broccoli

God bless your eyesight I have spotted them now.

Eddie B · 17-03-2012 5:12pm

Yea i don't fly fish, but even if i did it's impossible to do so in this place! Very wild and overgrown, small gaps between tree's and bushes! A lot bigger fish than those ones in it, but hard got!

Spuddeeez · 18-03-2012 1:11pm

class catch as always macspowers. I might add that I know this man and fish welfare is top priority. Oh and all caught on the time old stick float and using a centre pin reel...

No such thing as a silly question.... The fish are kept in a keepnet of at least 2.5 m long so they can swim around until the end of the session.. then we get ready the weighnet and groundsheet for the photo.. they are removed from the water weighed and photographed and returned with a target time of 3 mins.. they all go back alive.. to be caught another day.

Had another great haul yesterday but the fish weren't the same size as the last day.. over 60lb with some fantastic DACE... yes dace...

Specimen Dace

My first little brownie on the Boyne in Trim this year. Great couple of hours with 4 trout and a half decent sized Salmon Parr, all on Czech Nymphs.

3 small brown trout and a jack pike i caught 2 weeks ago in Meelick, Co. Galway. i kept the 2 bigger trout for dinner

.

Caribs · 12-04-2012 3:40pm

Can anyone help to identify this fish.

Caught today on lug worm in West Cork. Think its a black or sea bream but not 100% sure. Caught one before and made for great eating. Great fight too!

That is a gilthead bream. Goot catch for this time of year, they're normally only around during hot summers!

Eddie B · 04-05-2012 1:04pm

Another couple a nice fish from the local stream!

Kept the bigger fish for a friend, smaller of the two went back!

Compton · 07-05-2012 6:01pm

you should take the wrap off the handle, looks like the cork is going to rot!

freekhead · 14-05-2012 9:17pm

Here is beast of a 28lb 5oz Pike I caught in january on Perch dead bait popped up with a dowel, I was just packing up for the day and left the rod till last was half way reeling in and she came up snapped at it and brought it straight down, took me 30mins to tire her out and get her in.

I brought my nephew out on bank holiday Monday and after spending the whole morning getting drenched by the rain and scared of touching our rods with the roar of thunder we ended up getting 3 pike within 45mins

Here is my nephew with the first one it weighed in at 6lb 12oz:

Then he got a take on another 20mins later weighing in at 7lb on the mark:

With another 15mins gone after his last one it looked as if I wasn't getting anything all day so I done the usual of leaving my rod in and pack up the rest and when I went to take in my rod I realised my float was gone

this one weighed in at 7lb 15oz:

Its a cracking trout but it looks dead in those pics:(
you can tell most of the time by the eyeball as fish always try keep their eyes upright & see horizontally...

If that fish were alive & lying on its side its eye would be popping out trying look around..

jack01986 · 03-06-2012 5:16pm

Cheers lads was some fight off him. He was put back safe and sound, took my time to help him recover and he swam off perfectly. Literally hopped around just after that picture. It was a small gnat type fly I tied myself slim body with a small bit of flashy rib and a white hackle.

redzerologhlen · 04-06-2012 12:44pm

2 small pollack under the lighthouse in black head the other day, both returned because they were a bit on the small side.

Beach fishing can produce all sorts
Beaches in Wexford produce good size tope every year and other beaches also
So don't be surprised when bull huss takes it smoothhounds aswell will be around but crab would be best for them
