Just wondering if anyone has ever used one of these nets before.I fish a rock mark in the summer and shoals of sandeel swim right beside the rocks.Just wondering if these would net them.Any opinions?

Fairly tricky piece of kit these, used one off a boat before for sand eels. You literally have to be right over the shoal but if you get along side and you cast nice and wide, they work a treat! You tube has plenty of demo vids but be prepared for a few evenings practice in the back garden! Great fun

I have never tried them but it has been on my mind for a long while . Unfortunately I suspect that they are illegal in ROI because the regs clearly state that the only permissible form of fishing is with rod and line ( presumably unless you have a licence to net ) .
Does anyone know ?
Cheers .

Ireland have a zero Quota for sandeel, they are not non quota. Just FYI.

So that's the answer ! Many thanks .
So presumably all non-quota fish are legally fair game ? I'm thinking of whitebait/sprats .
Sorry to sidetrack your thread , steol 5589, but hope this is of interest to you too .
Cheers .
