Is any fixed net illegal? I was out fishing in Fermoyle Kerry a few weeks ago. A tourist told me that he had seen a man bring a net down to the water and put it out. he pointed out the mans 4WD vehicle. He was obviously watching the net until the tide covered it. The tourist asked me if this was illegal I said it was and that I would contact the sw Fisheries board (Which I did).
My point is the beach was not empty. plenty people saw this person there is something wrong with the enforcement system when people are as blatent as this.
What should I have done?
