The Bass Angler’s Sportfishing Society wants your support to obtain scientific evidence on the growth rates of bass from around the UK.
In order to present a fuller picture of the state of the bass stock populations from an angler’s catch point of view, this is what is requested.
Each time you go fishing and catch a bass, please measure and record the total length of each fish, even if they are small, recording the date, general location i.e South Devon and estimated weight. Additional information, fishing method use, boat or shore would be most welcomed.
If you can obtain scale evidence on every other trip that’s fine. How do I obtain these scales you might ask. Take between 4-6 scales from the red spot area and place in an envelope together with the above information.
[photo – the red spot marks the scale removal area – please refer to original notice for full details – http://ukbass.com/2005/10/bass-scale-samples-required.html.
Please send your catch reports and scales to :-
John Morgan at 30 Thomas Street, Port Talbot, West Glam, SA12 6LT
I thank you for your co-operation that will help the Society in its dialogue with the Government to improve the Recreational Sea Angler’s lot.
