Emma Stanley reports on some successful fishing trips to Tipp and Waterford…
Twaite Shad:
The run of twaite shad is coming to an end for this year and 2 Anglers from Dublin had a good days fishing along the old bridge area of Carrick on Suir during late May. The numbers in the area are reported to be making a recovery and Anglers spoken to were happy with the numbers caught.
Sea Bass:
2 Bass Anglers from Dublin were encountered recently on Kilfarrasy Beach. The anglers explained how they came down to fish the south coast for several days. Both men were happy with the fishing in the area and had recently fished the Cork coast also stating that there was plenty of bass fishing along the south Coast of the country and that they had not been disappointed with their fishing trip.
Bio Security: As always, we would kindly like to remind all who use Irelands watercourses to please use appropriate biosecurity measures for themselves so to help prevent the spread of invasive species in and out of the water.
Water Safety: The Carrick staff would kindly like to remind all about the importance of using Life Jackets in and around water as they really do save lives. Adequate Flotation devices should always be worn and it especially sets a template regards water safety where younger Anglers are present.
“Take only memories, leave only footprints”. The Carrick staff would like to ask all who are using the water courses in the area to be mindful of littering and to please use bins provided or take home their rubbish.
