Gun Dog Dies in Poachers Net

jkchambers

Sean Markey (IFPAC committee member) reports that over the last week alone he received 20 calls from anglers and landowners in the Cavan area reporting poaching or suspicious behaviour. One landowner reported that one of his gun dogs went for a swim in a lake on his land when it get entangled in a net and drowned. The farmer pulled in the 100 foot net and destroyed it. He told Sean that, the previous day, he had seen people out in a dingy and assumed that they were fishing. He now realises what they were actually up to.
We have had other reports from Monaghan that there has also been a big increase in reported incidents there over the last couple of weeks.

Are these "incidences" being reported to IFI?

When you take the law into your own hands it's usually is conterproductive.

There's reporting and then there's reporting. If IFI don't get the reports you might as well be pissing up a downpipe.

Yeah, I've heard an odd one myself, usually public house talk. Many of them do the rounds and all's that changes is the location/river.

Would not say all of them are just talk tbh. I know of at least two such incidents that were defo not just pub talk as one involved a boat that had been netting which got pinned in by a number of other boats until the authorities arrived, and also of a poacher who somehow slipped and fell after he got aggressive after being caught loading a number of fish into the boot of his car.
