My concern:
If IFI officers couldn't manage to properly police (in my area anyway) the previous laws, will new legislation make any difference?
You can have as many laws and legislative instruction you want but if it is not going to be enforced then what's the point?

Bass Anglers - new regulations
Anglers fishing for bass in Ireland are now bound by articles 10.5 and 10.6 of the recently introduced EU Regulation 2016/72 which stipulates catch and release for bass between Jan 1 and June 30 and bag limit of 1 fish per day from July 1 to December 31.
There is no longer a closed season.
Further legislation has been drafted to implement the increased size limit from 42cm as per the EU Regulation to 50cm in line with the IFI Bass Policy.
