Spent a few days in the Brixham area recently - looking for "new" species. Apart from sand goby and dragonet (neither of which was new to me) there was nothing doing. Things seem pretty desperate there - the local chippy was offering "Delicious Pout Fillets - as good as Cod" which caused us some amusment.

 

However, I found a number of notices displayed in Brixham Harbour that I will share with you.

 

1. Close to the Lifeboat slip there were spaces for about eight cars, marked "For Lifeboat Crews Only - Penalty for Unauthorised Use , £70"

 

As a Lifeboat Governor I thought, " Good, serve them bl***y well right"

 

Then noticed, at several places round the harbour

2. "No Fishing - Penalty £1000 "

 

So, angling is apparently seen as over 13 times as antisocial as delaying a lifeboat call-out

 

Glad to see the Bureaucrats of Brixham have their priorities right :angry:

 

BTW for Tony U and other birders. We also walked Berry Head and found a family of Cirl Buntings (our second reason for visiting the area). Have seen them plenty of times in France and Spain, but this was our first sighting in the UK. The warden at Berry Head said the latest count showed just 700 pairs scattered along the south coasts of Devon and Cornwall - really just hanging on at their northern limit of range.

It's only because they have nice new walls in the harbour to pin nice new signs onto. Torquay don't allow angling in the harbour as well, i think some posh boat had a window smashed once, complained about the lack of attention while paying exorbitant fees for the use of the harbour, made headline news that one.

 

Anyway did you walk right down into the quarry at berry head, my favorite shore mark. The walk back up is interesting.

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..
