Thats a disgrace,but not surprised tbh.Unfortunately these individuals are not the only ones at this practice.There are several individuals in the cork region especially in the whitebay area carrying out this practice,i've seen one individual with a just sizeable bass.This guy even told me that he and his buddies go after flatfish in the same area by sneaking up on them and STAB them

.I would'nt approach the other type of individuals god knows what they would do to you.
