If you beleive this rubbish then all fishing for eels should be banned, the precausionary approach used that is, as is the reason used to put more and more restriction on the anglers. Can't help catching eels while fishing for other specis, simple ban all fishing then. Fancy posting this rubbish Leon, was it to just to wind us up. Any facts within the link as i couldn't stomach reading all of it.

 

 

quote:

 

The Eel has declined by 99% since the 1980s and a pan european research group under the tiitle of Indicang has indicated the situation is now critical. To put this in to perspective the European Freshwater Eel is currently deemed the most at risk vertebrate in the country and is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( ICUN ) Red list. This list contains species at risk and is split into categories depending on the severity of the risk, the Eel is currently classed as critically endangered the next stage is Extinct in the wild.

 

New Byelaws were introduced in June 2010 stating that all Eels caught by anglers regardless of the type of water system i:e Lake, River, Canal and including Costal waters must be returned alive. This is a huge step in the right direction and the Environment Agency

end quote.

 

99% decimation, yer right just like they counted 50 eels on the upper thames using that as depletion of 98% at the time as reason for the ban take, what happend the following spring, loads of reports re eel catches on the lower thames. Following the eel take ban the thames was awarded an award for the most improved river, ha , ha, ha ha. funny that.

 

Wanna get into a discussion again about the dubious ways the Trust went about securing an eel take ban with the E A by any chance. What about the sea committee meeting that never took place. Bet the trust was proud of that one.

 

The trust is all take but gives nothing back to the rsa, they should be banned along with the secular fish guys who impose their selfish whims on other anglers.

 

Copy of my last email that i placed in among the internet warrier crowd last week, Mr Haylin replyed to an other email, but resisted this one. I have also put in bold a link from Mr Haylin, this was within the origional proposel that was used to ban an eel take. Certainly contradicts the latest link Leon has put up. Step in the right direction, yer right.

 

copy me:

 

Mike is missing the point, it was the way that the negotiations where carried out on behalf of the rsa. They weren't consulted, the trust negotiated with the e a after the close of the fresh water take ban consultation period. There certainly appears to be a discrepancy with regards to, was the chairman of the trusts sea committee informed that the eel take ban was to be discussed within the sea committee 'meetings' as was portrayed at that time. The discussions now appear never to have taken place. To portray rsa as uncaring with regards to the fish stocks is deplorable, that is not a true or correct statement.

The ban it's self was agreed on some pretty poor figures as demonstrated for example when a count of fifty was used on the upper Thames, yet last year there was hundreds of reports of good catches of eel in the lower Thames. Err that's when they are on there way back to breed isn't it?

Can the trust confirm that it will look again at the eel ban based on facts and up to date figures as opposed to pub talk and assumptions. While we are on a roll, perhaps the trust can also confirm how many members or rsa where consulted re the tope take ban that was reinforced by the trust this year, without any considerations regards to the commercial by-catch?

It appears that the trust is not doing what it says on the tin in an open and transparent way. Working for the rsa, representing them. Governing comes after a trust has been built up. It hasn't.

 

And quote within Mikes link: This activity in Britain has little, if any, impact on eel stock sand the introduction of additional regulations governing coarse angling for eels is not required. Rules for coarse rod and line angling are different in other parts of Europe.

 

Make your minds up with regards to worthless and pointless bans, restrictions regulation that is not targetted to where it should be.

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..

If it is that critical you would think that the national Anguilla Club would be the first to stop fishing for them.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

When the un-neccersary ban came in there were comments made that every one counts. So for these secular hypocrites to keep fishing for them they will also tell you that they never have a deep hooked fish, bleeding from the gills. If they were that caring they would take up golf.
