Seizure of nets in the South East

Postby JimC » Wed Feb 03, 2016 2:07 pm

Great to see some success.
I'm told this was Tramore direction...

An intelligence led surveillance operation in the South East led to the seizure of nets, fish and the apprehension of two suspects. While Storm Gertrude was doing her worst IFI staff were lying in wait, watching over a net that had been set to catch bass...
When the persons involved attempted to service the net at 4am under the cover of darkness, swift action by the officers involved led to these men being apprehended. These men were cautioned and with the assistance of An Garda Síochána, their details were confirmed. Three bass, nets and other equipment were seized as evidence. A prosecution file is currently being prepared. IFI staff want to thank members of the public who have assisted with this and other operations and encourage all anglers and to report any suspicious activity to our offices or 24 hour confidential hotline - 1890 34 74 24 and http://www.fisheriesireland.ie/About-Us/contact-us.html

Don't quite know what you're on about Tanglerat but for once some illegal netting wasn't "a nice little earner" as Arthur Daly would say.

i do wonder about the business model used by these clowns, i mean they have
to buy the net, put fuel in the van, then there's the labour etc, all to catch three fish
which are cheaply available in lidl, farmed in turkey, makes a nice diner,
i guess its an elaborate form of anti social behaviour
