Was in Clonea just before you Art (passed u on the road)

Was well drunk off with the nets in the water - didnt see them until I had been there with almost 2 hrs :evil: :x :x :x

Had my first blank of the year due to them

Were the nets reported?

Kev

in a roundabout way :wink:

Hi Art,

I think that we seen to start offically reporting these nets to the SRFB. Perhaps even a few people reporting the same net will help raise the urgency. If we then compile a list off reports and mail them into various ministers and TD's and ask what's being done about this rampant illegal activity.

I was on the beach with cortaz and saw this going on but as I was tied up with a coast guard search at the time did not have time to report it.
In my defense it is the first time I did not report such an incident.
I would strongly urge anybody to report such incidents to the SRFB and they are mush more lightly to respond if you say that the nets are in a well known spot for BASS or SEA TROUT.

BTW nice fish cortaz
