    anyone know how its fishing? have next monday off, thinking of doing some tench fishing. never fished there before. I hear downstreem from the bridge on the longford side against the weeds is good for feeder fishing, also, would it need to be prebaited? was thinking after the weekend ther might be a lot ob bait in the water already!

    I wouldn't bother there for a while , It hasn't fished well since our "friends"used to fish the crap out of it and kill everything they catch

    Might be better off looking further afield for tench ,there's a few spots down the Shannon that are known to hold good tench .

    Hows the music goin?

    you are joking? i at would have thought the shannon fisheries board would have been able to look after on of the best spots on the shannon considering its literally under a bridge in a town. Any bream there now?


    music is quiet enough these days, just ticking over with a few gigs here and there!

    I cant understand why for years people have danced around this issue.
    I call a spade a spade, that's what it is a f**king SPADE.....the Eastern Europeans & Co have done a lot of damage to coarse fish stocks that's a FACT actually decimated them in some spots.......tell them nothing........they are no 'friends' of mine.
    I never saw an irish or british person coarse fishing and killing and eating a tench, bream, or carp.
    The country is full of sad pathetic do gooders.

    the canals are a perfect example, they were netted.


    Damage has been done. Is there anything being done to restock these areas? Bream, roach, rudd, perch and pike will recover in time (how long, i dont know), i would be very worried about the tench and carp that were killed. They are not a native to ireland (i know roach are not native either, but they are well able to multiply on their own) and i question if those stocks will ever recover.

    Irish tourism has to be taking a massive hit over this, the word is out that irish fish stocks have been destroyed, even Matt Hayes said ot on one of his shows.
