Like a good man will you please register as a user. When you register tick the box "remember me next time...."(or somethin' like that), then you will not even have to think about loging in.
As with any conversation it's nice and only fair to know who you are corresponding with.
I would agree with you to a point about discretion but I would say that there's no point going overboard about the whole thing. I for one do not know where the first post originated from.
Lets be realistic your average trawlerman does not look at sites like this for information. They don't need to.
The lack of blonde rays and plaice on the turbot bank is a very worrying situation. I have fears that they have been decimated by trawlers, but one will have to wait and see as there are patterns of migration etc. that could be causing the shortage.
I certainly would not lay the blame for the pillaging of the bank on the doorstep of anglers reporting on a site like this.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that the trawling within the harbour is a crying shame. I'm not sure that awareness is out there of the loss of revenue to the many for the benifit of so few. Cork harbour would have the potential to be an all year round, all weather venue for boat and shore anglers.

Why were you taking 2/3 boxes of ray? :?: :?: :?:
Catch and release, then you can post the same question again next year ...... 'Where are all the rays coming from?'
