Friday, May 7, 2010 Large Trout Story - A Letter to the Editor http://www.independent.ie/national-news/anglers-weight-not-in-vain-2168590.html   Dear Sirs   I refer to the above story which I read with interest.   A very nice fish - but ...   A 90cm (35.4 inches) fish in perfect condition (CF 33) weighs 14.73 lb The photograph makes it looks like a 14ish lb fish, but not an 11.4kg fish   I wonder did he exaggerate the weight or read the scale wrong (maybe it was 11.4lb???) Interesting as well that this was a fish that was released so no further verification could be made Have the scales been independently verified?   One other odd thing in your story It's the biggest fish caught in Ireland in more than 100 years, but is still short of the record set in 1984? How does that work?   Ah - fishermans tales! Regards Nick   Token Foreigner SRG 2004 Token Foreigner SRG 2007 Monday, April 5, 2010 Created on my iPod Thursday, April 1, 2010 avatar no not the crap film Response from the Minister Whilst the personal response is appreciated it hasn't really answered the question Apart from anything the Minister that was is no longer the Minister in question. The answer given is too vague by far and too full of polititalk and still leaves open the insinuation that it's something that is still being considered. So what is the answer? a) Revolt - lets face it the Governments about face to even consider reopening a commerical fishery is REVOLTING. But the amateur angling fraternity is too disjointed and apolitical to make a significant stand b) Declaration of the Sea Bass in Ireland a designated game fish - clearly the best and only long term viable solution. If the sea bass was afforded the same protection and status as salmon and sea trout its long term future would be assured. For a possible modest annual fee (even only €5) the money could be channelled into a protection and implemenatation plan. Unlike the salmon licence however, there is already legislation in place which prevents the sale of Irish wild caught sea bass (although the government has been typically lax about enforcing and prosecuting this). Also the Irish sea bass is found on public waters around the coastline, unlike salmon and sea trout which are largely targetted on private fee paying waters, which leads to them being branded with an elitist tag. The Sea bass could (and should!) be managed in a similar way the the striped bass fishery in the US where that species is now accessible to everyone from shore based to kayaker to boat owner. Nick Wednesday, March 31, 2010 Irish bass need your help I'm an Aussie ex-pat living in Ireland. One of Irelands great fishing treasures has been the recent resurgence in the inshore bass fishery due to a moratorium on professional fishing of this important sportfishing species. (see some of my trip reports for examples) However recently the Irish Govt appears to be leaning towards reinstating this commercial fishery, despite advices from fisherys watchdogs to the contrary and despite the short and long term damage this will cause to both the fishery as a whole, but also to the associated tourist trade. I'd be grateful if you could all take the time to visit http://www.irishbass.org and send an email or letter petition to the relevant minister to stop this. I have today asked Steve Starling to make a representation on behalf of the Australian recreational angling press and am hoping an article will be written comparing this lack of foresight in Ireland to the opposite shown in Australia with the removal of professional netting in estuaries and in the US with the removal of professional fishing for Striped Bass (a close cousin of the European Sea Bass) and the benefits that those 2 economies have experienced as the result of their strong stand. Unfortunately the situation is that the Irish Govt showed commendable foresight in the 1990s to ban a commercial fishery for this species, but they are now on the verge of undoing all the progress they have made since. As an Irish bass fisherman I am asking my fellow Australian fishermen to provide the help we are known for so this wonderful and unique fishery is preserved.
