All about that bass: Man’s fishing rod confiscated

A father of four caught with three sea bass — one more than was allowed — while fishing on Derrynane Bay, is to have his fishing rod and gear confiscated.

The man, who is unemployed, must also pay costs of €250 as well as a €150 fine.

Last month Cahersiveen District Court was told how Stephen Bradshaw, aged 49, of Seaview, Sneem, Co Kerry, was summonsed by Inland Fisheries Ireland.
