They would get dumped, however these guys know what they're doing and either catch bass or bream, and nothing else. They're fishing 'pelagically' for the bass and bream when they come up in the water at night, and it's an 'all or nothing' kind of method, you either hit a shoal or hit nothing at all.

 

Thanks toerag.

 

Sounds a bit like my fishing the 'hit nothing at all' part

If I ever get the hang of it they'll bloody well ban it!

 

 

By the way anyone fancy sponsoring me in the WSOP?

The latest news on this issue is that there is an investigation underway by Guernsey SFC, DEFRA and the french authorities into transshippment where several tons of bass was alegedly passed to another vessel at sea to avoid the pair team going over their landing limits. The third vessel landed fish at Brixham.

 

I hope that if this did happen, the book is thrown at them.

 

Bass is not bycatch when fshing for Bass and therefor I understand that transshippment is not allowed in these circumstances. If someone want to explain it, please do.

It stinks, take all the gear away and ban them from fishing springs to mind, greedy b....ds. :schmoll:

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..

Or they would not get dumped if you read fishing guernsey post 12.

I would have thought that this would make more sense than the pair dumping the extra Bass then the third vessel having to go and catch their own quota thereby wasting all those fish..... or am i missing something?

If I ever get the hang of it they'll bloody well ban it!

What your missing is that the pair team allegedly got rid of several tons so that they could continue to fish for the breeding shoal. What is the point of a landing limit if the fish are simply passed to another boat (and possibly another and another) until they have all reached their limit, ther'll be potters landing 5 ton soon...

 

the idea is that when you have your fill YOU STOP FISHING

What like a charter party on bag limits would.

 

 

Yes I know it's not comparable but it's the same principle

I fish to live and live to fish.

They can poke their bag limits but, at least a charter party on bag limits would have the option of continuing to fish but practice catch and release.

If a dozen boats are involved in a fishing operation do they all have to be using nets?

 

Some operations might mean that some of the boats(registered) have not got gear in the water.

 

Each boat involved would be entitled to a take, I presume.
