Report:Its being a while now since i got to culdaff due to the weather. got set up aroud three o clock and i was just sitting down and the rod went mad , hopped up and after a short spell i had my first salmon from the sea , it weighed just over 6lb , it went back to sea again the flounder were`nt so lucky . got plenty of big knocks on the rod hooked up once more but lost the fish on the last wave in . all in all it was a great wee sess . for future reference do i need a liecence for salmon also or is it just sea trout that liecence is needed for ?

well done! nice salmol by the sounds of it! as far as you know you do indeed need a salmon licence!

THANKS LAD CRACKER FISH , I WAS THINKING THAT ABOUT LICENCE , THATS THE ONLY REASON THE FEC`R WENT BACK IN THE TIDE .

haha ya and the only time we ever get a salmon or sea trout is when its by accident and we dont have a licence! typical!

I bet the salmon was put back after you had the inevitable thought of ''what should i do here, is anyone looking''.... . Sounds like a rite good session and you got to take home some supper..

Thats some going catching a Salmon in the sea mate. You definately need a game license to keep a Salmon, wouldn't imagine it will be a common occurance though.

first i ever seen caught on beach , pure luck . but i suppose if your not in ya can`t win .

Fair play to ya bokofin if you put in the effort get out of bed and go on the beach fishing you deserve the rewards. Well done.

All you need for salmon and sea trout at Culdaff is a Lough's Agency licence, £16 for the year, hard to beat. That allows you to fish the Culdaff River too as far as I know.

Berty Oneal's in bridgend,
BTW nice catch mate

without belittling your catch are you sure it was a salmon and not a good seatrout culdaff gets some fine seatrout even the odd bass r 10 but ive never heard of a salmon getting caught in the sea not on rod and line i say this with the greatest respect as an angler

I have caught a Salmon from the Swilly before..Think I got it on Rag if I remember, Have heard of the odd Salmon being pulled out of the sea a few times..


Give him A break ffs..He got enough grief the last time

are they wild fish or escaped fish farm salmon ,heard of fish farm escapes being caught never wild fish in the sea

hello fishquinn , i know that i got proven wrong on plaice/flounder , but i`ve being fishing for trout since i was a nipper , i know the difference on this particular subject . thanks for asking though cause it could be easy to mix them up .

hello jonfish , i did ask the salmon that very same question but alas he never answered me lad ,

spotty with small fins

If you're sure it was a salmon, stick to your guns. Stranger things have happened- I caught a 4 lb seatrout off the beach on a bluey head pennel rigged with hooks that would fear you(last cast with the very last of bait- boy did that pay off).
