Arrival of quagga mussels to #Ireland was inevitable. Same family as zebra mussels, same impacts predicted. Quagga's can colonise soft substrates, so spread will likely be greater #invasivespecies #biodiversity @BioDataCentre @InlandFisherIE @InvasSpecIre bit.ly/3kymcC9

With covid restrictions extending from April 12th, hopefully this'll bring some normality back to your fishing. Quick reminder re: Irish bass regulations for 2021. If you wish, you're allowed to take 2 bass ≥42cm per day until 31st July. #bassfishing fishinginireland.info/2021/f…

Good news (for now). Following appeal by @McConalogue, Court of Appeal has temporarily reinstated Policy Directive excluding large vessels (≥18m) from 6mile limit. This will apply at least until full hearing in June. Hope for a permanent restriction then bit.ly/3tP1nDZ

Estimated 2000 tonnes of Anchovies trawled from Dingle Bay this week. All to be sent by road to Killybegs for processing into fish meal. Not illegal but immoral. @Irishwildlife @IWDGnews

Just in case you needed yet another reason NOT to buy #farmedsalmon... "Between May 2015-November 2019, a total of 1.65 million wrasse were taken from Irish bays, mainly Mulroy & Inver in Co Donegal; Clew in Co Mayo; Kenmare, Co Kerry & Bantry, Co Cork" independent.ie/news/environm…

Wrasse species (particularly ballans) are very slow-growing, late-maturing and long-lived. To say that removing them from the wild by the hundreds of thousands is unsustainable is a grave understatement. Quite a ridiculous situation.

Interesting report from #Clare coast of skipper Tommy Galvin who recently landed a marbled electric ray (𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘥𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘢) in his nets. 1st confirmed #Irish record. Mediterranean species that can produce 220 volts! (stock image👇) clarechampion.ie/shock-for-q…

"radio tracking showed that the majority (92%) of ferox trout tagged in Lough Corrib spawned in a single spawning stream [Cong River], while the majority (76%) of ferox tagged in Lough Mask spawned in the Cong canal & Cong River" C&R angling is vital! fishinginireland.info/2020/o…

2nd anniversary of #JohnWilson today. A true #fishing legend who inspired an entire generation of anglers through his writing & TV work, notably 'Go Fishing' series which ran for 16 years (1986-2002) ❤️ Would love to hear your fondest memories of the 'man with the laugh' 😅
