I decided even 3kg sounded like an exaggeration (since they don't show pictures much above 2kg!) and sure enough, the Finnish record is 2.28kg. However, I also found out that the largest grayling caught on a rod in Sweden was 3.34kg, a 71cm long fish! Strangely it was caught from a lake. (For some reason it isn't accepted as the angling record, which stands at 2.85kg, perhaps he was commercial fishing for char because it was caught on a spinner?)

I note the ea are to ban killing of eels caught by rod and line, is that to be extended to sea water, rivers and esturys as this could be the end of pots of jellied eels as we know it. Or if it is the case, commercial take is excepted?

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

Not quite the end Barry but I should imagine prices will be rising sharply. These are the proposals for commercial eel fishing.

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Cheers for that Worms, it just confirms to me that the onward continual paper chain is still onward and upwards after more than ten years of paper chain shuffling by the eu, the ea, defra, etc, etc. That was after they realised that there was a problem with the eel stock more than ten years ago. One thing is for sure, there must be a better way for stock protection than this lot of paper wasters can ever manage. They must be very proud of their acheivements. What also makes me laugh with the likes of government agencies, ngo's etc, it that they have a very structured plan sorted first and foremost with regards to pension rights. ea has one of the best plans in the uk no underfunding in that one, compared with the private sector, shame about the eel being last in the 'q' though.

1955 size limits of fish.

 

Any fish caught below certain sizes must be returned alive to the water.

 

Usually the limit is 8" 230mm for Roach, Rudd, Perch and Dace; 9" 228mm for Chub, Tench, Carp; 10" 254mm for Bream; 20" 508mm for Pike. But the permitted sizes may vary in different rivers - your River Board Licence will state the sizes allowed.

 

Thought you might find it interesting. Although perhaps you wont.

I did.

 

Perhaps more appropriate is a warning for those anglers who follow the EA rules but also fish SSSIs (especially where Shad are found).

 

The new (proposed) regulations regarding removal of coarse fish will not affect you if you keep them in a keepnet and then return them. Just check the designated species list for the SSSI and which fish are/might become protected.

 

What is legal within the EA regs might not be under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (plus amendments) and you could get done for disturbing a species etc.!
