Sea Angling Ireland

The following link accesses an RTE archive video on most likely the Seiko Shore angling Competition held on the beaches south of Greystones, Co. Wicklow in September 1989, http://www.rte.ie/archives/2014/0903/641105-greystones-angling-competition-1989/

The following month, October 1989 Greystones hosted the European Surfcasting Championships (see attached souvenir brochure front cover).

The latter competition in today's money is worth a local cash injection of at least €100,000 before the positive tourism messages are taken into account.

Wicklow, Greystones and Ireland can have all the above again pending a change in fisheries management approach.

Given that the IFSA website is currently down due to refurbishment work will a senior member of the Leinster Council committee and or the IFSA executive contact me through this post or my website http://www.anirishanglersworld.com or http://www.anirishanglersworld.com/inde ... irca-1989/ re an inshore fisheries management proposal I am trying to gain traction on.

Sincerely,

Ashley

Video wont play for some reason

Those were the days. I remember I got a 8lb Cod on a 5 foot rod that I got with Green Shields stamps , fished about 15 feet out on some rag, actually now that I think of it that was in the 70's , but the fishing was still very good there in the 80's, now its a shadow of its former self, but can still throw up the odd surprise if you stick at it.

Same here video wont play

Video played fine here.....and cracking one too.........."no phone calls and you only meet nice people here" Wasn't life simple in 1989...........
