Legal Sizes of fish caught on the beach.

[John+1945]

Hi there,
Can any one point me in the right direction, where I can download the legal size of fish caught with rod and line? or is it the same as the U.K. I will be coming to Eire is September and staying until the end of October and this time I will be brining my rod with me.

Many thanks in advance,
John.

There are no size restrictions with regard to the size of sea fish caught in Irish waters except for bass where a minimum fish size of 40cm is in place and you can only keep 2 bass in any 24 hour period. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2006/en/si/0230.html

There are other rules regarding some species:
Sea Trout, requires a licences from the fisheries board and there could be local restrictions in some places.

Silver Ell (freshwater ell), new laws prohibit the fishing for these species.

I might be wrong but think this is being changed to 42cms soon? 1st of september maybe?
