SE FISHERIES BALIFF

report from last week,,
a mr JW AKA (BOND) was caught by the local baliff Noel Power, a guy that is very keen at his job,,netting in the waterford estuary last year
mr jw was up in court on the 6th of june found guilty of unlawfull netting the estuary,fined e1700,nets and boat confiscated to the tune of 6000 e

All i can say is well done mr Noel Power a great guy from the SE Fisheries board that patrols the Wexford coast with some vigilance and commitment which is very rare this day and age ,,so watch out noel powers about!!!!! :shock: 8) 8)

yes Kev its great that you have got guys out there like noel one tough old mother of a baliff who takes no shite from anyone,,he has been looking after the waterford estuary,bannow to cullingstown a very delicate area with Bass ,trout and salmon he has 7 guys under him too,,this prosicution was a joint effort involving imfo and sightings by anglers too,,so dont be shy ,,noel and his gang are now looking at pleasure boats going out in the bays and returning with illegal amounts of fish ,,more than 2 bass ,,wait till you hear that story,and shore anglers breaking the rules,
i have just been noseing around and i am pleased to say not spotted one angler in the last month on any known bass mark,,so there is a message getting out there ,the world is a changing place and others must change ireland needs its fish rescourses for ireland and tourism not for the whole of europe to plunder and kill

a very happy but irate gee :shock: :shock:

I know the said gentleman and I have to say I am delighted.
I have come across netting in the back strand lately and theres still some going on between Creaden Head and Cheekpoint on The West side of the harbour.
Would be great if you PM me the mobile number and then I could report the offenders in real time.

just had a visit from Noel and 4 of his buddys, came down the quay after i had returned from a session, i had got 5 bass but only kept 1 about 4lb..nice to see em out and about doing there job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :?

What about a "sticky" with contact adress/phone/e-mail of authority offices (not individuals) - on a regional basis - so that shore anglers can alert illegal fishing?
