Played out I think..........

Any topic containing the word "license" is sure to fire up a few people

I for one dont like the idea of a license.....Ive spent an arm and a leg on fishing tackle already and Ive only been at it 6 months or so a lot more than half the time I dont catch anything so IMO a license is just another tax.

Dont even think about paying for a licence you have got to mad ,the money you tip in will just vanish into the big pot, it will be a total waste of moneyif you think otherwise you are dreaming

maximo:

a licence would be ok by me,if you got something back for it,which i for one dont beleive we would.

maximo:

Why cannot they take a percentage from our tackle buying?, that way, everybody pays.

 

Or am I chatting sh*t.

We're told that VAT on sea angling already produces £63M.

What difference is another £3M going to make, after all the bailifs have been paid to hassle anglers into buying a license?

Hi Casey,

 

I don't know where you fish, but all of the freshwaters I have fished have had club or owner bailiffs, most times they will ask for your rod licence before they will sell you a day ticket. Try and fish a Salisbury club water and you will be asked for your rod licence.

 

If your not being asked someone is failing their members or owners.

 

I can only go on my experiences fishing Hamp. Avon, Nadder, Wyley, Dorset Stour, and various gravel pits and lakesin that area, this also included trout waters.

By the way the best bailiffs would be ex-commercials, they would do it for nothing
