Posession doesn't differentiate between alive and dead, (as far as I know) - the law just states, 'in your posession', as I remember it.

Good memory. In fact the legislation is specifically worded to include live fish.

thanks would appriciate it.

The law in NI is different from here ('here' meaning Southern Ireland). If you had 5 bass, dead or otherwise in your possesion here, you'd get done. (Well, if the actually enforced anything down here....). There is a bag limit of 2 in your possesion in 24 hours. Posession doesn't differentiate between alive and dead, (as far as I know) - the law just states, 'in your posession', as I remember it.

five or dead bass youd get done for the pic with five bass in it DEAD....youd get done, you must have been catching them mackeral if they were all alive, you cant expect anyone to believe you kept five bass alive in a rockpool was it dead enough for five bass to swim about in????

hey all,i dont mind a bit of banter,but i dont do lies,and im well aware of the bass law of having two fish in any 24 hour period,but i do mind getting a silly virus e.mail from a member on this site which lead to me having to shut down my pc and restart it.now i cant open any e.mails from kieran@sai as im afraid it will start the whole thing off again.tell me is that any way to treat some one who has joined this web site in good faith.so funny boy,you know who im talking about,if you cant catch fish,dont take it out on me or ill put your name up on the site okie dokie.regards ivan

thats very thretning and know you dont me i love to see people ctch fish many forum members will back me on that........yea i might be going on a bit we word of advice for you....DONT POST PICS OF DEAD BASS or people will get very angry :evil: :evil: as im sure you understand.....SO DONT PUT ME DOWN AS A SAD JEALOUS PERSON OKAY

Being new to sea fishing from doing a lot of pike fishing, I personally used an unhooking mat for all the pike I caught, was easier on the knees too instead of kneeling on stones etc, the pike were unhooked on the mat the returned straight away, I will be carrying an unhooking mat with me when I get out sea fishing too.
I don't intend killing any fish unless I have to, the thinking behind this is purely a personal one (if I kill the fish I will never ever catch it again, if I return it I might catch it in a few years time much bigger and hopefully still healthy enough to be returned again!).
I respect every anglers right to kill a legally sized fish if they wish, on the flip side I also respect any angler who practises catch and release, it's down to what you want from your angling experience, imho we should all live and let live guys, lets learn from each other and enjoy our sport.

i didnt have to put your name up you came straight at it hook line and sinker.now go away you are really boring me,dont even post a reply as i wont be answering you....

Now I personally know Hairyconger, and I honestly know for a fact he could not have Emailed you a 'Virus' to you (Due to the fact that he couldn't even write basic HTML, never mind know how to handle a Computer Virus without mucking his own PC up! Sorry Mate :lol: ). HC is a good Angling friend of mine and was only putting his side of the coin across. Now lets just stop the bickering, I request this thread be locked post haste.

I personally think we should put this to bed! :roll:

Bass boy stated he used catch and release methods to his fishing, who are we to doubt. If one anglers word is not good enough to believe then were does that get any of us. (It was this big! :shock: )

I have read numerous posts like this one to be frank they start off with good intentions and then turn into a free for all with usually 2 or 3 anglers basically ripping it and each other to shreads. It does become very BORING after the 3rd or 4th pages of anglers taking a pop at each other.

Learn from it and move on :wink:

Ah Damm bloody work, where's the photos of mass hysteria!

I've got a photo, granted it was taken about 10yrs ago, but if i posted it on here all hell would break loose going by the response to Bass Boy's photo! :shock:

Just my tuppence worth but i think a few people should climb down of their high horse and give the man a break!

Catching 5 bass on the North Coast ain't as strange as some people may believe and double hook ups too :roll: You just have to be in the right place at the right time.

I'd have more faith in Bass Boy showing a photo of some bass and saying he released them than the bloomin Mongs that run around the North Coast beaches killing all the bass they catch not matter what size.
Oh and I might go on a rant regarding people that fish those areas on a regular basis and sell all their bass to the Mongs. :evil: :evil:
Its been a while since i fished any of the beaches so hopefully it ain't going on now....

Anyone wants to know what i mean by 'Mong' PM me ! :lol:
Rant over :)

Come on now lads sending a virus that is no way to treat anyone the man says that he had five bass I say good on him. And they were all released if it was me I would have kept one I have had one bass this year and it was 47cm I think. If you were fishing a comp the size a bass has to be is 45cm to count I think. Since catching my first and only bass I have put a lot of time in to bass fishing researching hundreds of web pages and putting lots of hour’s in. this man says he has done the same and I believe him you have to do your home work lads if you want to catch bass you can get lucky some times but 99 times out of 100 it is skill that catches them knowing what they are feeding on and what kind of areas that bass love. By him saying that there was a rock pool gives you an idea were they like. Bass love rocks they can be found in sandy areas too but it’s mostly rocks by the way his rod and reel looks I would say he was spinning or maybe even plugging for bass and it doesn’t have to be deep water 3-5ft is more than enough for bass to feed in so I have read. I will put it to you plain and simple lads do you home work if you want to catch bass you may blank 9 times out of 10 but when you get that one bass it is well worth the effort

hey drew,i didnt name anyone,out of all the folk on here he was the one who came straight back at the post,he has rubbished me about my photo saying the fish are dead,i dont do lies and im a bit cheesed of with his silly remarks,i dont know what his problem is and to be honest i dont care.if no one has any thing good or constructive to post for me i dont want to hear it and i certainly wont be replying to them.regards ivan

I'm locking this. Deep breath..
