I can't believe we are still arguing the toss over the principle of a fishing licence.

 

We gave up the idea on the idea of the "inexhaustible sea" free to all (including foreign trawlers) about a hundred years ago when we adopted territorial waters, bag and size limits and quotas.

 

We accept that this a resource that we can screw up or that we can manage, protect an enhance for future generations.

 

This means employing professionals, creating revenue streams and delivering powerful advocacy on behalf of rec fishers.

 

The days of the well meaning amateur are long gone.

 

Welcome to the world of users pays/user benefits and to the political reality that No Pay = No Say.

Ohhhhh my gawed, he's back. :rolleyes:

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..

No surprises there then Leon, the bloke who so actively supports compulsory C+R now wants compulsory licences.....

 

I can see it now, the Fish huggers will be happy because all of the fish are being returned and the govt. will be happy because they'll be getting a few quid. Now just how will fish stocks in an ocean fished by many countries be enhanced by a RSA licence from UK anglers? Any ideas?

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

It's easy Nick, it will start off as just a UK licence, allowing you to fish for UK fish only. Then, it will change to 'Alien Recreational Seafish Entrapment' licence, (an A.R.S.E). That will allow you to fish for 'foreign' fish, in UK waters. Then you will be able to get an All Nations Recreational Angling Licence, (an A.N.A.L) that will allow you to fish for any fish, (providing it isn't an 'endangered' species), anywhere in the world.

When it becomes International law to hold this licence, (before fishing with rod and line), the revenue will be used to save the entire endangered species list.

 

It's so obvious, I'm surprised you didn't see it.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

Nick

Hi Gozza if you don’t work in the bureaucratically honoured depths of Remit legislation then I suggest you Apply.

Have-not smiled so much for a long time.
