    South West The jetty

    Nothing nicer than a fish fresh for the water. I have eaten plaice and thornback ray that I have caught and really enjoyed them. I cannot help myself I immediately look upon a caught fish with the question can it be eaten? :ROFLMAO: I think it is just the hunters instinct ?

What would have been done in the past was to hold the fish in the net for a while to allow them to clear themselves now I think the nets are just hauled and the fish put straight into the cold store. If you buy a can of sardines the...

    Cost of fishing

    I think a point is being missed . The ownership of a French fishing licence allows the bearer to fish for any species without additional cost for permits to fish the water. So anglers do not spend huge sums of money to fish a river for salmon, sea trout or any species therein . €100 per year is...
