Bigman420

Hi all,

Just enquiring what is the law on gill net fishing in Ireland ? I understand drift net fishing is banned but is gill net ?

Answering a question with a question, I'm afraid.
Why are you asking? And What species?

As i have recently bought old land and in one of the sheds are some old nets and I'm wondering can i use them for the likes of mackerel or a they just going to gather dust in my shed.

I know what the different nets are gill, seine, drift etc. These are gill nets.

To use a net in freshwater is illegal.

To use a net in saltwater you must be a licensed commercial fisherman. You can get all the information you need from the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority. I doubt you would get a licence without a track record in the industry and a licensed boat. Besides, gillnets are stationary nets and not really much use for mackerel.

It's not much fun getting a meshing of mackerel, a lot of picking involved.

nokiatom

You never mentioned the size of the mesh. That makes a big difference.

“Pike stock management in designated brown trout fisheries: anglers’ preferences”
MAY 24, 20174:00 PM
ADD TO GOOGLE CALENDAR
Speaker: John Curtis, ESRI
Venue: ESRI, Whitaker Square, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2
This paper examines anglers’ preferences for active stock management of pike populations within designated wild brown trout fisheries in Ireland. While the policy of pike control has a long history, it is not without controversy and conflict. As the objective of pike control is the protection of trout stocks, a superficial view might be that trout anglers favour and pike anglers oppose such management intervention. Pike and trout anglers do not have homogeneous preferences, in fact, a substantial minority of pike anglers also fish for trout and vice versa. The current paper examines Irish pike and trout anglers’ preferences over fishery attributes, including pike stock control methods. Preference data was elicited by means of choice experiments for pike and trout anglers and a latent class site choice model is used to estimate anglers’ utility functions. Not surprisingly model results show that pike anglers do not support pike stock control and almost universally would choose fishing sites where there are no pike stock controls, all else equal. We find that the majority of trout anglers are negatively disposed towards pike stock control, and all else equal, are more likely to choose fishing sites where pike stocks are not actively managed. A substantial minority of trout anglers could be considered advocates of pike control, with about one-third of these being more extreme in their preferences, with site choice probabilities of such anglers being largely determined by the pike control management option.

The ESRI survey showed that 61% of trout anglers are against any pike removal and only 13 % are strongly in favour.

Your some piece of work.

Pike anglers of this country want a fair and balanced system where everyone can have a chance to fish for what they want...and allow the ecosystem to manage itself and stay healthy.

Certain Trout anglers... Such as yourself... Only want trout in specific lakes.. And all other fish removed... An out of balance ecosystem which will not survive for long.

Pike anglers aren't the ones being greedy here... This is evident from posts such as yours.

Removing large pike from an ecosystem the size of lough sheelin will only present a bigger problem, an explosion of small pike with no large females to control them.
Then you will have real problems because those smaller pike WILL predate on small trout... And your ecosystem is out of balance.

Large pike will control the smaller like and also remove sick and dying fish and keep the system healthy.

My home lake... Lough ree... A great mixed fishery for Coarse, Game and predator fishing all year round... No pike control takes place throughout the year, its not needed because the system looks after itself.

The trout fishing is exellent.
The pike fishing is exellent.

And that there is the mindset of a certain amount of trout anglers who are greedy and want nothing else in the lakes only trout.

You would need to be a paleolithic anthropologist to decipher such neanderthal views. I have seen similar etchings on a cave wall in Gibraltar.

Sounds like the ramblings of a disgruntled trout angler at the thoughts of predator control possibly ceasing on a lough he fishes.
