Pic from the Veals web site. Cracking looking fish and a pity that shore caught sea fish still have to be cracked on the head to claim a record and not certified scales and witnesses like the freshwater chaps.

Isn't he very much anti-angling?
From reports, the outlook is 'bleak'
He use to fish. Managed to drag this off Hansard (part of the fox hunting debate)
Mr. Banks: Exactly the same interventions and arguments are being made, and they will get exactly the same response that I gave when I was asked that question before. A line has to be drawn. There is a difference between angling and hunting foxes, or hare coursing: first, one does not hunt fish with dogs; and, secondly, a decent angler--there are some on this side of the argument; I used to call myself a very good angler--puts the fish back. The better the angler, the less the damage inflicted on the fish. I was a coarse fisherman--as you would expect, Mr. Lord--and I would often, on certain stretches of river and canal, catch the same creature.Mr. Hogg: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?
Mr. Banks: No, I shall not. That would just take up a lot of time. The right hon. and learned Gentleman is not going to convince me, and I am not going to convince him. I shall answer his question as I have answered those of other hon. Members--straightforwardly.
Angling cannot be compared in any way with foxhunting. There is no intention on this side of the House, or in any of the organisations with which I am concerned, to move on to ban shooting or angling. The Prime Minister has said that, and if one cannot take that--
Mrs. Llin Golding (Newcastle-under-Lyme): It is not true.
Mr. Banks: My hon. Friend says from a sedentary position that it is not true. I can tell her that I do not intend to get involved in a campaign to ban angling.
Sad to see him ill as whatever you think of his opinions he was a character in the House and it will get greyer with him not being there.

Don't a lot of these skate get re-caught as I understand that they are tagged and returned. I applaud the guys (and ladies) that fish for them - I am far too weedy and would be dragged overboard in a flash

Like spanner, I was sat in an office on a 16 day run of shifts. However come saturday I get 12 of the next 14 days off so I will .. er be off fishing

On any forum you are going to get trouble, simply due to the fact that angling skills range from 'novice' to 'expert'. Likewise the posters will range from decent honest people to lunatics.
There are really only two things that can be done. Allow the whiners,the troublemakers and the total t*ats to continue or, as I do on my own forum, ban them by username and IP address.
I'd rather twenty muppets left and went somewhere else and get one decent angler start posting as a result.

Leon, if the lad wants the tackle being offered, would you or a local angler act as a collection point so it can all be gathered at one point before being given to Podge? There could be quite a lot of stuff coming his way as this story has horrified everyone on the sea angling forums.

Thanks Leon - appreciated

Had a trawler going up and down in front of me yesterday from Weston-Super-Mare Bay to way past Sand Point:
Are there any restrictions on these guys doing this so close to the beaches as I did a search in google and could not find anything.

Am on XP mate and still have all my system restore points after running it - just checked.

I can't tell the difference between 2Mb broadband and a 56Kb dial-up.
You could be viewing cached copies of the webpages in your browser Peter as a 2MB line will give you over 200kbps whilst a 56K modem will max at about 4.5kbps. Clear all your temporary internet files and try again. Also do a speed test at:
to see what you line is actually running at.

Nice one Newt! Thanks

DIRECTIONS
This popular sea side resort is on the A39 and well signed from junctions 23 or 24 on the M5. To reach the sea when you get to the roundabout on the outskirts of the town go to the right and this will take you on to the sea front near Butlins. There is roadside parking along most of the sea front and since the work finished on the sea defences the area from Butlins to the Carousel now offers good easy fishing during the autumn and winter for 2 ½ hours either side of high tide. If you park at the Butlins end of the front and walk eastwards along the path in front of the golf coarse there is good fishing over high tide between the club house and the chalets at Dunster. The harbour wall can be fished for about 3 ½ hours either side of high tide and is reached by turning left at the Butlins roundabout and then turning right by the railway station. If you carry along this road to the end and park the beach in front of you is Gasworks beach which can fish very well over low tide and for about 4 hours in. The area between the shelters and the lifeboat station can also be fished over high tide as the sand is much closer here. White mark is another popular low water mark and is reached by walking westwards from gasworks and taking the last path onto the beach before the footpath goes into the woods.
TIDES
Spring tides are best for the high tide marks whilst the low water marks tend to fish best on neaps.
SPECIES
Cod, codling, dogfish, pouting, whiting, rays, bass, flatfish and mullet in the harbour.

Apart from the shoals of gars and mackerel, there are also a few smoothhounds around still; here's a pic of one I caught last night on crab.

He did say £5 a month? As an example, 1and1 do domains for .co.uk's:
"Only £1.99/year

£5 a month is a total rip-off

You got me worried there Jim!

Jim mate
That's hosted on some of my plusnet NT webspace and I am not aware that there's spyware linked to it. Care to illuminate me so I can sort it?

New Record Tope
in Sea Fishing
Posted
yep, in theory that's right:
===================
. IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIES.
The Committee is required from time to time to consider claims for fish of species which cannot be determined to its satisfaction without inspection. For this reason and others, claimants are strongly advised not to liberate or otherwise dispose of a fish for which it is intended to enter a claim until an inspection of the body, dead or alive, has been made by a representative of the committee and permission given for disposal.
While claimants should recognise that failure to produce the fish for inspection may prove prejudicial to the acceptance of a claim, the Committee does not bind itself to reject a claim solely because inspection has not been made.
All carriage costs incurred in production of the fish for inspection by the committee must be borne by the claimant.
==============
However. Has any sea fish record been claimed where the captor just produced photographs, witnesses and certified scales?
