Lovely wild brown trout caught on Monday evening on a small sedge. Released safely to fight another day.

I suspect the sites will eventually adapt and have more "eu sellers" but if you are like me an buy 40 jig heads at a time or 5 spools of random braid to try out you could be in for a serious shock, so be cautious lads.

Hi there,

Hope all are well.

I'm from Cork, near the City (East Cork) after moving back from Dublin and was wondering if there was any fishing group I could join.

I love fishing and have learned loads from people in this chat but do not have a wealth of knowledge. It would also be great to get to know people.

Spinning on the Suir outside Clonmel for week now river is full of weeds floating in the water, nearly every single cast is weeds, never seen it like this in the 30s years I've been fishing it.

Edit: Found out its Filamentous Green Algae caused by agricultural runoff

I've Benn fishing for bass and other fish in the slaney near enough to the heritage park and I just don't know what lure to use cause I don't know what I'm targeting or what I'm doing any advice is appreciated

All the bait ate by them

Was thinking about heading down to doolin Pier this evening for the high tide. Anyone lucky with a catch yet ?

Hi folks, I'm looking for somewhere to store a 17ft fishing boat ( about 20ft with trailer) close to lakes such as Derravaragh, Ennell, Sheelin or Owel.

Indoors, outdoors doesn't matter, just want to be able to grab it on a weekend and hit a lake.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

If you are on here and can describe the contents its all yours.

A nice mornings fishing ruined when the handle of my reel snapped off. It wasn’t expensive but not cheapo either. Any idea if any Dublin tackle shops would sell a handle without a full reel?

Any info lads? i’d love to get out on the boat fishing tomorrow , let me know if you’ve any contact details for any around there . or any seats available on your own boats 👀

I’m new enough to fishing and have only went about 3 times. I’m doing Sea fishing off Cahore Pier in Wexford. I’ve got 2 mackeral and bass 10ft 80-150g. I’m thinking about using 1 rod for sea bass and pollock and the other rod for mackeral. I’ll be fishing from about May31st-July 25th usually at about 6-9:30pm. Anyone have any advice, tips or lure/bait recommendations?

So I was lead to believe that the Shad only run up the Barrow river... However, I was fishing in the slaney just now and I seen quite a number of large schools making their way up stream... I managed to catch two. I had just caught my first one in St. Mullins a week ago and I was shocked to see them in the Slaney in Wexford also. Does anyone know how many rivers they are present in in Ireland

Was too rushed to measure in the moment. Anyone could help me with a rough estimate in cm? So i can break my pb next time!

Cheers

Hi all,

I’m looking for some advice from anglers in Ireland.

I currently use Major Craft Indra IND-902MH (9ft MH) and do shore fishing and light surf fishing and I’m wondering whether it’s worth bringing my existing rod, reel and tackle to Ireland, or if I’d be better off buying gear after I arrive.

A few questions:
1.Has anyone travelled to Ireland with fishing rods? Any issues with airlines or airport handling?

1. Is a shore casting setup like the Major Craft suitable for Irish coastal fishing or are heavier rods generally preferred?

2. Are there any restrictions on bringing fishing tackle, lures, hooks, reels, braided line, etc. into Ireland?

Would you recommend bringing my gear or starting fresh in Ireland?

I’ll most likely be fishing from beaches, piers and rocky shorelines.
