Do you think the 6-mile trawling ban will improve fishing on the east coast?
Just wondering what people think about the new 6-mile trawling ban coming in.
I’ve been fishing around the east coast this year and honestly, I’ve found the fishing pretty poor compared with last year. I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed the same or if it’s just been bad luck for me.
Do you think keeping the bigger trawlers out of the inshore waters will actually make much difference to fish numbers around places like Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford?
Obviously there are loads of other factors that affect fish stocks, but I’m curious whether people think we might see better shore fishing over the next few years because of the ban.
