Why dont you hastings commercial boys tell the sfc and get the stupid bylaw updated so that these cowboys wont bother to steel your gear and operate from the beach anymore, the bylaw about headroom depth is only in operation from may to september, it needs to be extended to all year round, i suggested it to the ssfc a couple of years ago and i got told to pretty much **** off, now if it came from a commercial it may be viewed differently? i think you will find most beach anglers would support it, cheers........

Yep thats good old commercial fishermen, sums them up realy dont it

No, but what are you or anyone else gonna do about it? get rid of them in a couple of years time and replace them with what? i am not voting in an election ever again (wont achieve anything i know) but atleast i will know it was not me that had given them a mandate, if everyone did not vote at all i wonder what would happen?

Empty now glen

Oh realy wurzel i suppose you mean our continental friends maybe? i can see those problems getting even worse in the not to distant future. still that will be your problem i am pretty much past caring nowadays infact i dont realy know why i am on thses forums anymore cheerio.

What food resources we allready import most of it jaffa

Well i never! a commercial fisherman blaming other commercial fishermen for the lack of fish, quick make a frame someone

Hello steve, the dole fiddling rod and line bass bashers i am refering to are not a commercial rod and line fishermen or an rsa imo, just your regular w**kers cheating the system and there are quite a few of these from boat and shore, they also use nets to steve cheers.........

Hi hastfish, eastbourne was once a good place for bass but that was many years ago, and i am not on about those immature schoolies that you and eastbournes dole fiddling rod and line boys catch either, cheers..........

Hi hastfish, this byelaw is for the months may to september only the rest of the time the beaches can be netted up to the high water mark, it was put in because of the game anglers ie, sea trout i think? anyway its for fixed nets not for drifting, trawling, sein, etc, fwiw its a crap byelaw imo. the golden mile would be good for both commercials and anglers down south, even if it does not provide one extra fish for the beach anglers? atleast commercials and hobby netters wont be getting the blame for it as they do now, so much. it could even repair the damage that has been done with the overall relations between the two and lead to better understandings etc, so what you got to lose hastfish? as far as i see it you and the other commercials in this area have a chance to gain from it.

Hi hastfish, why dont you start a new thread and see what people have to say about it? i will give you my answer why i think its a very good idea there cheers........

Crikey!! that did not last for long

Thanks jaffa for reminding me, is that meant to make me feel guilty in some sort of way? how about what you think chris? do give a fig?

One word (which includes the fishermen that participated and still do) BASTARDS!!!!!!!
