I admit the other poll was Bad!!!

danbrosnan

Here is the poll everyone wanted!!!

I believe its very viable and will prove a lot of people wrong....

For me game fishing, especially for WILD salmon and sea trout is number one...

In case people don't know, Course Fishing consists of fish species, Pike, roach, rainbows, trench, carp etc....

Game fishing consists of fish species, Salmon, Sea trout, Brown trout, Artic Char....

Sea fishing is obvious...

My short explanation is game fishing is for wild fish and course fish is for fish that are stocked or were once stocked, and are now wild, but are not indigenous to Ireland.....

You really should have a seperate option for pike. I am a pike angler and ticked coarse.
I really dont know why you listed rainbows as a coarse fish species

Sure in the last poll people were giving out that i didn't do it this way, proving the point you cant keep everyone happy... lol...

I would 100% consider rainbows a course fish as there are stocked they are not wild, my idea of game fishing is completely wild like wild atlantic salmon, sea trout and brown trout... Now some people are going to disagree and thats fine... But i think the purist will understand where i am coming from...

Rainbows are a game fish ok.
Pike are in a category of their own with Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Dept. On the Continent pike are listed among game fish.

Game fish = Salmon, Trout and Char.. Thats it.

Perch, Pike, Zander all Coarse fish species.

SeaFields

Fly fishing for sea trout after dark, fishing tiny streams and lakes around Kerry for small but hard fighting wild brown trout, stockie bashing on a hot summers day, rock hoping with light gear for large pollock, lure fishing around the rocks from a small kayak.

There ya go Dan, everything I do

Lads lads lads.... why does everything have to end in an argument?

As far as i am concerned pike are a course fish...

Game fishing is not just salmon, sea trout and brownies or char but in this part of the country it is...

Never heard of farmed salmon fishing... But you might be onto something there!!! lol

Pike are in a category of there own with the Inland fishery board because its a money maker so thats why they give them there own little sub category on there page but pike are generally known as a course fish...

iTS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE LADS....

In england where course fishing is massive they are considered a course fish...

Now i know that game fish actually does just not mean salmon, sea trout etc...
But in the context of the poll i wanted to make it simple...

With regards to zander i am not aware of zander in ireland???

Not really, the pike get their own page because its very different to coarse fishing. Different tackle, rules, and a differnt skill base.

Ya i know but we also have some of the best pike fishing in Europe here... Pike are a predatory fish so thats why the are different to other course fish...

1. My name is not against Board rules. I have no topics on this site advertising my company or what I do. Its a username, not a topic!!!

2. Its COARSE, not COURSE. So called because the gentility thought they were a lesser life form than Salmon or Trout and COARSE because it was only the poor people who fished for these species. Nothing to do with being stocked or not. Trout are stocked into many rivers in the UK, for example the Avon, a chalk stream frequented by "purists" such as your good self. Try telling them that their stocked brown trout are a COARSE fish lol
3. I didnt say Zander are present in Ireland, I was drawing a similarity between Perch and Pike, also COARSE fish and predatory fish who inhabit the same environments, are fished for in much the same way and are categorised as COARSE fish.

Game anglers are heavily outnumbered in this country by Coarse anglers and even more so by Sea anglers. Regardless what results the poll shows.

I fish for all species so i would have ticked all rounder if there was an option.

I also cant tell if you are trolling by intentionally mis-spelling coarse.

But i do fish for all species of fish, i love sea angling and there are a way better anglers then me.... i am not the best at anything and tbh i find it despicable they way you just treated me.. conversation finished!:D

Dry your eyes buddy, i found your "we're the best fishermen" comment insulting, you dont see me boo hoo'ing about it

dvae

id like to vote, but i can't tick all 3 boxes.

theres nothing better than fly fishing for salmon and trout, except spinning
for Pollock and bass, but that doesn't compare to dead baiting for pike in
winter.

im sure theres others out there who like me have no preference for what
they fish for, just as long as they are fishing.

Considering my favourite species would be trout, tench, perch, pike, rudd, wrasse i think the majority are coarse so I went for that.

Fair enough, carry on

Inland Fisheries Ireland have commissioned a company called TDI to carry out a survey on Irish anglers to obtain such information as what they fish for, how many are members of a club, how often they go fishing, how much they spent on angling etc etc
It appears that only around 20 % are a member of an angling club. I also hear that most say that they would classify themselves as mainly sea anglers. The latter did surprise me.
It will be a while yet before results are published.

Id be very interested to know how they propose to contact us. Im not surprised about most of them calling themselves Sea anglers though. The amount of registered users on SAI compared to any other forum in Ireland says it all. Its the most accessible fishing for most people. That and any fella that chucks a few mackerel feathers is probably calling himself a sea angler...

I hear that it was a combination of talking to anglers at competitions and house calls. I would imaging that talking to people at competitions that they would only use those interviews to help establish how often they fish, how much they spend etc. It would not be appropriate to ask them what species the fish for or whether they were a member of a club.

I dunno but what I do know is this, I fish more than most of the guys that fish competitions in this country. I spend probably ten times what any normal angler does a year but this is the first time ive even heard about this survey. an I have plenty of angling buddys that are also heavily involved in angling and its never come up in conversation amongst us. so if we're the ones who are spending the most money in the country but yet none of us have ever been surveyed, how good or beneficial is the survey

Listen you cant make all these accusations, this poll is showing that there is more game anglers so that would suggest to me there are more game anglers on boards.ie....

Now with regards to who spends the most money its a fact that sea anglers do because of the corrosive element of sea fishing...

1.What accusations am I making? I havent made a single accusation against anybody.. please enlighten me

2. Your poll has Game ahead by one vote lol its hardly a landslide victory for game and like ive said, regardless of what your poll shows i know the numbers involved and i can say without one shadow of a doubt and without running a poll on boards.ie that sea anglers are the majority with coarse coming in second and game coming in last.

3. I never said sea anglers didnt spend the most money Dan, you seem a little paranoid or you have an inferiority complex or something, must be the kerry air getting to you.. what i said was that me and anglers like me that spend the most money in the country have never been surveyed. It is true that Sea anglers do spend the most money with Coarse again coming in a close second and Game trailing way way way behind in terms of actual money spent. As I fish Game, Coarse and Sea my spend is ridiculous.

I see it. It looks the part in terms of what they say theyre at but like i say, i spend a hell of alot of money and i was never surveyed and my mates spend just as much if not more and they were never surveyed either so theyve missed out on some very important peoples data for their survey. I mean its the usual 20 - 80 break down, 20% of the people spend 80% of the money, 20% of the people catch 80% of the fish and all of the lads i know around ireland would fall into the 20% in terms of time on the bank, money spent etc i would argue that there missing a significant amount of that 20%'s information for the survey. surveying down to 15yr olds as well, how much does a feckin 15yr old contribute to the figures
