Hi,
I'm a french guy living in Paris, so, excuse me in advance for my poor English !
Whth a few friends, we are planning a trip in Ireland during the last week of may.
We should go to the south-west coast, I don't know exactly where for the moment.
Is there anybody here to tell me a few things about spearfishing in Irland, please ?
I wonder about the regulation (hunting license, time restriction, forbiden species, minimum sizes ...), the goog places to go...
We are used to hunt in Normandy and Britany in France, most of the time whithout a boat, usually not very deep (from 3 to 10 meters).
We usually hunt seabass, mullets, places, crabs, sometimes lobsters, and from time to time a fish we call "vieille" : It looks a bit like a carp, but with nice red and/or green colors. It is quite easy to shoot, It can reach 6 Lb or more. It contains many bones, but if you know how to cook it, it can be good (but, as you know, frenchies eat almost everything, even snails and frog legs !).
So all your advises, informations, experiences ... will be welcome to help us to prepare our trip.
Thank you in advance !
