"Pat Gardiner" wrote in message ... Come on now lads! A rod, a line and a nice shore, can I feed myself? Well you certainly could here anyway although it would be a boring diet. I did see notices limiting the catch to two sea bass, or was that a tourist trap for the gullable? No there is a real bag limit and even close season for sea bass here but that is the only restriction I know of. -- Chris Thomas West Cork Ireland |

Like Tony said Pat ,it's not a dig at you ,more a reference to out badly
managed/exploited waters. "Pat Gardiner" wrote in message ... Why? I have not even been fishing. I asked some questions. You are being very cryptic. I'm not talking about buying a trawler, that I can understand might cause a few minor problems chuckle or even suggesting selling any of the catch. Are you saying that I have suggested something illegal? Regards Pat Gardiner "Cliff Ravenscroft" wrote in message ... I bow to experience (& age)just be glad you was in Ireland cos if you was in England or Wales & looking to survive you would be brown bread by now "Pat Gardiner" wrote in message ... Ah Ha, are you refering to the unusual use of the adjective "pacific" to describe what was called the Western Approaches" when I was a boy. Now they call it something PC like "Celtic Sea" don't they? I did wonder if the adjective was wise, but after a few days on the west coast staring at Atlantic breakers, "pacific" fitted the bill for very placid sea. Come on now lads! A rod, a line and a nice shore, can I feed myself? or are you all escaping from the domestic life and living on hope? I did see notices limiting the catch to two sea bass, or was that a tourist trap for the gullable? Regards Pat Gardiner www.go-self-sufficient.com "Cliff Ravenscroft" wrote in message ... back down to the Pacific coast!!!!!!! I dont think so snip |

"Cerumen" wrote in message ... "Pat Gardiner" wrote in message ... Come on now lads! A rod, a line and a nice shore, can I feed myself? Well you certainly could here anyway although it would be a boring diet. Would it be really that bad? I speak as a man with an Irish name and an English accent that was very kindly called to the head of the queue at the fish and chip shop before all the locals (It was winter in West Cork)...and charged the tourist rate. They thought I didn't know, but I'm a sport. The whole village enjoyed the scam for a full week, I imagine. We have a friend who loves to do a bit of fly fishing. His wife gave the trout to the cat. It used to upset him so much that he would not go as often as he wished. so we did a deal in support of his simple pleasures. A few almonds etc. A good cook can do miracles... I did see notices limiting the catch to two sea bass, or was that a tourist trap for the gullible? No there is a real bag limit and even close season for sea bass here but that is the only restriction I know of. Thanks for that information. Regards Pat -- Chris Thomas West Cork Ireland |
