A Nice Catch of Mullet

[roryh]

I don't think I ought, the FN edited some out I suppose I could do the same , the FN know more about the rules of what you can publish more than I do.If I get time perhaps.

 

As the originator it should still be your copyright (depending on your agreement with the publication) in the same way as photographs remain the property of the photographer unless specifically sold inclusive of copyright.

If item is already in the public domain and is available in a publicly accessible link then there should be no problem in either case.

Hope that helps unless i mis-understood.

Sounds like Wurzel has got his original copy on disk and would have to edit it to match what was published, when he has time.

Just because something is "traditional" doesn't make it OK. When they have finished celebrating wiping out the local mullet stocks do they get the spades out and go and sort out a few badgers?

The fact is that those fish were practically worthless to them, probably didn't even cover the cost of the beer, but could have kept the local (and holidaying) anglers happy for years. But as usual, sod the anglers, they are just eccentrics anyway. Stuff Cornwall, I'm off to Spain again, if I'm going to catch nothing anyway at least I'll be warm doing it. I can still remember as a kid seeing the Cornishmen stringing blue sharks up at Looe for photos and then kicking the corpses into the river, seems not much has changed down there.

There is no truth in what you say,

 

They have not wiped out the local mullet stock.

The catch was worth around £3750.00 divided by 10 families = £375.00 each it might not be a huge amount in the grand scheme of things but considerably more than most spend in the pub in an afternoon.

What makes them eccentric?

I also can remember the photos of the strung up blue shark, by visiting anglers.

Hi wurzel

 

If we accept your estimation as somewhere near the ball park, then that is still only a one off payment for "dead" fish, you will never get that money for those same fish ever again, had these fish been sole/plaice/whiting etc, then there would not have been such a fuss made wurzel, but you see these are "mullet" it is the last proper inshore sporting fish we have left in any sort of numbers around some of our coasts, the value of those fish to the rsa would have been worth many times more and never been in any danger of being wiped out at all as most mullet anglers catch and release them, of course you know all this dont you and maybe that is part of the commercials master plans to not only try and stifle the rsa's by silly sfc bylaw proposals but to extinguish what few little inshore stocks of sporting fish there ar left, its all rather pathetic realy, ciao amigo............

You are right Stavey it is a bit pathetic really because if it was possible to wipe out mullet stocks as with any other stock they would have been wiped out years ago.

Well wurzel commercials have done a pretty good job on the sea's most prolific of all breeders ie, "COD" dont you think?

Hello Stavey

 

Round and round we go!

 

One day it will be proved that commercials have had very little effect on cod stocks.

Hope that they one day can emphatically say who is to blame, then at least the argument can be put to bed and we can get on with some constructive discussions on how to reverse the process...............................hopefully while there's the odd fish left to breed.
