OOOOoooh who took the jam ot of your doughnut:lol!:

colinhealy79, just a piont colin,not trying to upset anyone,30 years making the pilgrimage across the pond the fishing has declined, angling in ireland has declined,hospitality has declined,in the words of your own christy moore, its all me meme now and f1uk the sick and needy,this applies right acros what was once one of the most welcoming countries in the world,the sad thing is those who were entrusted with protecting and nurturing angling in ireland,were content to take there semi state fat cheques,and then fall way short of delivering sad state of affairs:affraid:

i think were all on the same side ,but about moving carp i think to move carp illegally now would be dumb and probally worse than knocking one on the head , but as for the lads who did it years ago l think we are feeling the benifit of it now.
and about being less welcoming now than 30 years ago,i think thats just the world we live in ,20 years ago i knew everybody in the whole estate i lived in now i couldnt tell you my next door neighbors name, and id say thats the same over your neck of the woods.
well i hope it gets better and thats the idea of forums like this educate each other and debate
i hope you do make your annual trip and catch a bag of a lifetime,and have a few pints and a bit of craic you would be welomed by me any way
all the best.

those that are caught are getting more than a slap on the wrist.the
problem is catching them,lack of funds to supply fishery officers ?
i dont know.bigstonze,welcome to the site,a lot of what you said is
correct,irish anglers have and are still making mistakes,the fishery boards
may be paying more attention to the plights of trout and salmon anglers,
but i dont belive this site is all fins fins fins or self righteous posters,the subject of fns or moving/killing of fish can be very emotional for some
people,i belive we should be able to discuss any topic or subject on this
forum in an adult manner,clueless and balless i may be,but telling me that
is not going to change me.i hope you decide to continue your annual trip,
continue to post on the site and maby when you come over you could
do a session with some of the other site members,
regards bud

lads i didnt mean to give the impression that carp anglers where clueless and balless,that was in fact directed at the fisheries boards,blind leading the blind,aj your spot on about the french carp,and english anglers,two wrongs dont make a right!!!!! there are some decent lads involed in angling in ireland.i believe caci are doing good things... i dont know much about abby anglers,they dont appear to be as well organsed,that could be wrong.... the more voices in clubs the,the louder you can shout,and so on,the best of luck for the future,weve decided to stay put in the uk for this year!!!! regards

im sad to hear you wont make it over this year bigstonze,but maybe if more of your country men did the same the powers that be might get there heads ot there arses........i wouldnt hold my breath though

all the best in what ever you do

U said it...... Behind us 100% i have seen them trying to leave waters with fish:roll: ...They leave empty cans and bottles of beer every where no consideration for other anglers and the wild life in the area:x ....Not saying that they r all like this:roll:..I fish for fun and sport. I do not fish to kill everything that comes on the bank
