In the SouthWest we have a 50kg a month quota for cod, now that ain't alot per boat, What makes me laugh is the quota for Pollock During the sporning months and the pollock are on the wrecks there are no quotas, netter hit and empty every wreck , now when the remaining fish have spent and dispersed, fisherys put a limit on them.

Where is the sense! :g:

 

Cod fishing down the Southwest is improving, better size and better numbers, Thats got to be a good sign!

 

Hi MustGoFishiing

 

Under 10 metre boats have just been given a 3 ton a month quota on pollock

And so did millions of other people in this country, apparently the response was unprecedented and the BBC have (through public demand) commissioned this new series and are already talking about a third. Please don’t anybody say that it’s a waste of licence payer’s money because the world wide sales have apparently grossed and returned more to the kitty than they originally thought.

I wonder if a documentary on anglers and there representatives would have the same effect.

maybe the enemy within, or the real enemy as some narrow minded people with personal vendettas would like to describe commercial fishermen, is about as accurate as there other FACTS that they keep telling us about.

How strange how people only want to watch what they want to see. How strange and sad that people on here described the first series as a commercial propaganda program before it had even been screened.

Personally after spending most of my working life in the North Sea I found it good, entertaining, and informative and the refreshing thing about it was that it was anything but political, I look forward to the next series. I am also looking forward to an improvement in the weather so I can go off angling again.

Regards.

 

Hi challenge

 

If they ran a programme showing everything about angling, the anti sport poeple would have a field day

Thanks for the information Clicker

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..

I did wonder when that most excellent of TV programmes, "Deadliest Catch" was going to be brought up. I am one of those sad people that enjoys seeing how ALL forms of fishing are carried out. Not just the rod and line fun that we all enjoy. But as someone else in this thread pointed out, this is an ANGLING forum, not a have a poke at the commercial fishermen forum.

 

Live and let live. Who knows, it may be a commercial fishing boat that comes to the rescue of the anti's one day when the boat they are miles out to sea on, breaks down and needs a tow home!

Yes they would Steve these people hate anybody who harms an animal in anyway. They would hate you if you wore leather shoes too and god help any commercial fisherman who got crabs entangled in his net then proceeded to smash them out with a large hammer.

 

The story is the same for all of us mate, you have no higher moral ground than us with the antis.

I actually enjoy "Trawlermen". The fishermen seem like good guys doing an unbelievably dangerous job. That doesn't mean I have to like the things they do!

We are often told on here that they do no damage to the sea bed because they don't trawl rough ground and yet in the first two episodes they've caught up about five times. We also see a skipper almost crying about the coalies he is "forced" to throw back dead, who then promptly turns round and drags through the same piece of ground again and, unsurprisingly to me as a non-trawlerman, catches a load more of the same fish! That is not only immoral it seems downright stupid.

One thing that still amazes me is that they seem not to know what is in the net until they haul it in. I find it incredible that the scientists, or the fishermen themselves, haven't come up with something that can tell them when they are wasting their time.

I am also enjoying the program.

I also enjoy all fish programs commercial, angling or underwater shots etc.

I am an ex deepsea trawler man (albeit less than 12 months) first as a 15 year old galley boy then graduated to "deckie learner"

I was with Northern Trawlers of Immingham and the boat was the "Northern Sceptre."

We fished off Bear Island and Iceland and trips consisted of 5-6 days steaming,6-7 days fishing 5-6 days steaming back then 2-3 days having fun in Grimsby!!!!!!!!! :blink:

Then I served my apprenticeship as a marine engineer with Shell tankers but I fished (angling) at every port I visited in my 38 years at sea.

So all TV programs on the sea, or the ports or coastline etc are of great interest to me even if I do not agree with everything that they show

Cheers
