Does that make you happy Leon? 'Recognition' for RSA's at long last, after years of campaigning for it? Be ready for a fair few folk saying 'I told you so' when the brown stuff hits the fan, probably all the ones who have being saying 'be careful what you wish for' for ages.

I’m inclined to agree with you ‘Seafoods’ it seems the few have decided for the silent majority but let’s be fair, being in the EU where other member states have been every bit a part of the want/need for recognition that has got us to this point.

 

Fishing politics is like a cancer fuelled by the supposed lack of fish and the need to treat it with various forms of conservation and regulation. Sea Angling is now in that mire and that means those that care will now have a job on their hands, the time for division and playing the blame game is over we should be looking for unity now to protect our right to recreationally fish the sea from beach or boat without masses of regulation.

 

My biggest fear is that some will drive for more and bigger fish for sea anglers and that could well bring us into a conflict with an already under pressure commercial sector, time will tell.

Mmmmmmmm

 

 

 

'A member of the audience asked the speakers about the level of recognition of recreational fishing in the new CFP.

 

MEP Rodust answered that amendments regarding recreational fishing have been made in the basic regulation. She added that it is important that recreational fishing is included in the reformed CFP but not treated at the same level as professional fishing.

 

Mr. Lamplmair added that the EU in general does not devise conservation measures for recreational fisheries, with some exceptions like for example in the case of Bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean, as it is national or local levels that set the rules. He pointed to an issue of proportionality, but added that where substantial amounts of catch are taken by recreational fishers, they need to be taken into account by fisheries managers'.

The game is already afoot Shaun the Eastern IFCA has already received reports about the amount of Skate being taken by anglers, in Yorkshire the Whitby charter fleet anglers are reported to be selling fish illegally.

 

The question is will the IFCAs act? Already under huge pressure to sort out the various habitat directives as well as looking at the proposed MCZs my feeling is that other than what is already covered by law then things are unlikely to change any time soon.

 

On the other hand if sea angling reps start making demands on the back of what is expected to be a boost from the social economic clarification that Angling 2012 should deliver then we could well see them dig a hole for themselves.

ohh dear, that makes the rubbished golden mile idea a walk in the park then: Article 7a

proposes that over time these closures should increase in coverage to between 10% and

20% of territorial waters of every Member State.

 

What a marvelous management system in place. All that those experts can come up with is a banning industry and closing down areas. Affecting local communities, the under tens of course. Top class.

 

Good job the over tens are not going to have any reduction in quota or less days at sea to allow to continue with the export of the cod stocks. Balance of payments, most important. :)

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..
