Was fishing yesterday. Caught a flounder and and eel about 50 cm long. Looked very like a fresh water eel but not sure. Is this unusual to get eels here? Has anyone else ever caught eels here. Maybe its as stupid question but i just thought its a bit far out to get them

Silver of resh water eels are common throughout Waterford Harbour including Woodstown. Very tasty but I think they could be protected now?

Time spent fishing is never time wasted...

2015 targets - a triggerfish, a specimen bass, a three bearded rockling to complete the set and something big and toothy from certain north Mayo deep water marks
