Breaking news from the government!!

Recommended Posts

Just seen it on the beeb website that the government are planning to introduce a £22 licence fee to sea anglers... I understand about having a licence for man made lakes and the like where fish are stcoked but surely a licence to fish in the most natural place in the world is taking the pee,

 

any other thoughts on this

Keep it reel!!

I thought they were paid to do that allready!

 

Just like the Council Tax. You pay it and then when you want a service, you pay again.

quite an intesting proposal actually. i see david rowe is using the stats from the recent government research. I wouldnt mind paying a couple of hundred a year if they protected stocks. am i sounding naive now?

IF, the Government take some species, (like bass and mullet) from the Commercial quotas.

Enforce Commercial no go areas, around the coastline.

Stop illegal netting.

Then I would be happy to buy a Sea Fishing licence.

 

The only concern most Sea Anglers will have, is that we will pay out money and nothing will change.

Would this mean that if you fish freshwaters as well you will need two licences?
