    Hey guys,

    I'm new to fishing and recently bought a nice carp rod, spool and different baits and lures, hooks, spinners and such from aldi.

    I'm from blarney, co. cork and would like to fish in the local rivers and lakes in this district.

    wondering if i need a license, and permits in the area to do so?

    i pop into the murray fishing shop on patrick street also so maybe i can get more info there.

    all help is much appreciated :)

    Easiest was in to fishing for me is feathering for Mackerel, plenty of places locally maybe some others can help you.

    Need a spinner (normally a 9ft rod, LIDL had them for about €20) and some feathers.

    Basically cast out, reel in etc etc. You'll see others and get the idea.

    This will get you used to handling the fish and retreiving the hook. Once your good at that then move on to something else.

    No licence needed for sea fishing.
    Once you are ready for lakes etc a licence is :
    One District, Annual: €58
    Here

    You have Inchegeelagh to your north, some good free fishing (with a permit) or the Lee system, €38 per year.

    Best advice, tag along with someone who knows what they are doing, far better than any book.
