    No. Unless you're after Sea Trout.

    You should be aware of the bass regulations though before you set off , just in case. Taken from the IFI website....
    BASS

    Bass Fishing Conservation S.I. NO. 826 OF 2007
    The effect of this Bye-law is to impose a bag limit on anglers of two bass in any one period of 24 hours and to provide for a ban on angling for bass during the spawning season (15th May to the 15th June).

    Bass (Restriction on Sale) Order S.I. No. 367 of 2007
    The effect of this Order is to prohibit the sale or offer for sale of bass (other than bass which has been imported into the State) from 1st day of July to 30th day of June.

    Note: Penalties for breach of the above laws include confiscation of tackle and heavy fines.

    S.I. No. 230 of 2006 BASS (CONSERVATION OF STOCKS)
    The effect of S.I. No. 230 of 2006 BASS (CONSERVATION OF STOCKS) Regulations (http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2006/en/si/0230.html) is to prohibit fishing for, landing, transhipping or having on board bass by an Irish sea-fishing boat and to prohibit the use of nets.
    These Regulations also prescribe a minimum size of 40 centimetres for bass within the State. The Regulations came into effect from 9 May 2006

    I see a restriction in May/June. Is there any other 'season' restrictions you need to be aware of while sea fishing?

    Not really. As srameen mentioned, you need a licence for seatrout and they have a closed season too (generally Oct to Feb but that can vary slightly). And bass have the restrictions as per my post. Cant think of anything else really,unless another poster can.
