Ireland, fishing in the sea...what are the rules.
 
Hi folks, a supremely un-bike related question, but I wonder if any Irish folk/fishermen know the answer to this?

Here in Scotland you can fish in coastal waters without a permit. (Or so is my understanding). Am off to Donegal in September for a week and was thinking of taking my smuggler rod out with me to fruitlessly thrash the Atlantic into a white froth. Just wondering what the rules are out there, will I need a permit?

Any tips on what lures to use/what I can hope to catch would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Matt :)

To the best of my Knowledge,you don't need anything,fish where you like.
Lug/ragworm/crab are good bait,any toby/large mepps type lures are good too.Pollack,whiting,bass,dogfish etc. to be had,ask locally what works best when you get there:cool4: 'Tis a beautiful place,enjoy!

Thanks fledermaus, exactly the info I was looking for. Can't wait, been meaning to get out to Ireland for years. It looks stunning.

Apart from biological impulses(!) , I can't think of a better combination than biking and fishing. Have a great time and dont forget the trout fishing too - similar to Scotland's lochs and rivers.

Thanks Cam, hoping to get a day or so spinning in one of the lochs (or should that be 'loughs'?!), with any luck I'll be sticking a fresh caught trout, wrapped in foil with lemon and dill, in the embers of a fire at some point! Matt :)

Hi,

The sea fishing in Ireland is legendary, take some small 'storm shad rubber lures' about 4 inches long, they are lethal for pollock.

A lot of the rock marks in Ireland have tourist info signs on them telling you the tide height, species and methods etc.....

Any local worth his salt will advise you...
