That's good news, it's nice to hear of a council supporting angling instead of making money out of it.

Hi Norm

 

Poole have been quite good to us over the years, they have give us this for 6 years now. Shame we can't get a new slipway out of them though

 

Will you be fishing it this year? Could probably get you on a club boat if you were struggling for offers

I'll see if I can fit it in, I'm already booked for your cod festival.

Hi Martin

 

That's a nice guesture from the council - a pity more aren't as 'angler friendly' (see Weymouth's response to the bass mls consultation)

 

Could I ask - is there any opportunity for catch and release of fish during the comp or do all fish weighed in need to be dead?

 

BASS would very much like to offer some sort of prize and award for the largest bass returned alive during the festival.

 

How would we go about contacting the organisers to offer this incentive?

 

Cheers

Steve

 

Edit

Oooops - just noticed the link in your post Martin.

Hi Steve

 

Luckily the carpark man used to be an angler (new guy in place now) and we have been fortunate enough to have a good rapoir with his department

 

As a club we trust our members and run all our in club comps on a catch and release basis. Because this comp is an open and there are high value prizes we cannot work out how to run a competition on a catch and release basis and avoid the cheats, we are open to suggestions though. However the rules of the comp state that as its a best specimen comp and only the anglers best single fish of each speices is elligable for the weigh in. Also the minimum size for weighing a fish in is 50% of specimen based on the nfsa list for the wessex area. We also practice fast tracking for those that bring live fish to the weigh in ie they go to the front of the queue.

 

If BASS are interested in putting up some sort of prize/award then as Scotty says email me and I will forward it to the relevant person.
