Hi Barry, Hope you are well mate...

 

There was a report on the other forum, about an angling boat, think it was a charter , taking 600lbs of Pollock, so 2 tons aint too far away !!!

I dont really have any more to say on the matter,...cept, that I was having a chat a month or so ago, with Jimmy Buchan, about him and his wife coming out fishing with me this summer sometime ( rod and line BTW :) )....he seems like an Ok guy !! :):)

In sleep every dog dreams of food,and I, a fisherman,dream of fish..

Hi Norrie, i'm very well at the mo apart from a sliced up hand that is healing. So no fishing at present.

that was a nice post thanks good photo's of guys who know what they are doing. It has shown the stamp of fish that the rsa expect when wrecking. So no disrespects the likes of 2-3lb fish ain't really on in my mind, who knows. I have already had good pollack early on in the year so i cannot complain much. Roll on next month.

 

Norrie, i have just worked out what four of us caught on a charter in the spring, we had 35 on the boat between us and the smallest one was double figures and the largest was just under twenty, so a good average must be around 450-500, not bad for someone like me who is still learning.

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..

Hope the hand gets better quickly mate.,.

 

I was out with Ianb a couple of weeks ago, after Pollock, and tho the fishing wasnt great, we still had a good few lbs of them between 5 of us, only one small one (2lbs) was kept,(and that was cos its gills were bleeding), so 2 tons would be pretty easy to land I would think....its only when you break down, and analyse the figures you can see how much is actually being taken...

 

Cheers...:)

as they we returned

 

2 tons Barry and Norry thats a lot of fish, as long as they were returned I don't have a problem with that. If they were not returned and sold at market I do, are these vessels licenced and registered?

nice to know you know Jimmy Buchan and you talk nice of him. Jimmy is a great guy and a friend of mine although we differ on fishing regulations.Angling in this area is very good at the moment with catches of COD ,LING,AND VERY GOOD POLLOCK ARE IN ABUNDANCE .

 

MACKEREL FISHING STARTED 3 WEEKS ,AGO. Troup head has some excellent fishing with world class birdwatching seals and dolphines as you fish. I am a sea angler and river angler for 30 years

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!

Here vessels under 10 meters have 1 ton per month of cod commercial vessels 250 klo per month surley this cannot be right.

 

There must surley be restrictions on charter vessels quotas on the fish they sell that we catch?

Of course charter vessels have to be licensed to market and profit from the sale of fish

 

Cod are still under threat and remember trawlers can not trawl over wrecks the only areas cod can be taken by anglers we need to do something to help? I am not saying to return every Cod although it would not be a problem for me but everybody must play a part in getting the stock back to levels that are acceptable to us all.

 

Anglers here only keep the fish for personel consumtion that means fish caught that are not required are retuned to the sea

Hiya,

I couldnt tell you if they are licensed or not, as they were boats from the South coast, I'm in Scotland.

 

The boat I was on, belongs to Ian Burrett,

 

http://www.seafishingscotland.co.uk/

 

who does not allow inshore Pollock to be taken for the pot.

As Ian says on his website, if you want to fish for the pot, please go elsewhere...this, I and the anglers who fish with him, totally respect, though, there is the occasional casualty, like the one we had. That was the first Pollock I have seen killed on any of Ians boats , in years of angling with him...:):)

 

I dont know Jimmy Buchan, as such, seen him in the pub, at the Broch, and Peterhead,years ago, before he became "famous", when he was just a hard working Fisherman !! :) and had a pint or two with him, and his mates, nowadays, just had a few Emails sent between us, a real good lad , as I have said.:):)

The filming this time was done in some very bad weather according to skippers Clem should make it very interesting.

Sorry Clicker I did not make myself clear when I said the programme did not show bad bits i meant high discards and environmental damage not the weather. Still good TV though.

Hi Clicker,

50 Kg of cod is our limit per month to land as a registered and licensed under 10 commercial fishing boat and that can be trawlers, netters and potters if they have they correct license but they would not target Cod,

As a part time crewman on a charter boat, The skipper and I would often go out and do our homework for our next charter and land the fish that we caught to pay for fuel and a day pay (Hopefully), last month we did that quota in a day, and we was looking for Pollock, every wreck that we went to had cod on them.

 

With regard returning Cod to the water would they go back after being pulled up 270ft? not that anglers put them back anyway!

I must go fishing, And Live the Dream!

Correct me if i'm wrong, please do, the cod quota for this year was reached very quickly in the sw during the latter part of the winter. Now at present it is only caught as a limited bycatch.

i'm sure the nffo would be in talks with defra if they felt that, there is more than enough cod to go around and that the spawning biomass has improved. At present no one is saying it has. If this is not correct then i would say that the nffo needs to push harder. At the same time it would also have to be confirmed by they who are monitoring the stocks.

 

If you was looking at a cod, pollack wreck. Normally the pollack are free swimming around and above the wreck, but the cod would be near the bottom?

 

Very many rsa practice catch and release, in particular the fish that have not had a chance to breed. Personally i am a wreck junkie, but the amount of trips that i can fit in per year would proberbly be around twenty, that includes the inshore wrecks and reefs where a lot of the fish go back. Also when we target conger and ray, all of those go back. so to include the likes of us in the head count for removal of the stock is not really a viable argument. I would not release a cod from that depth. However it is not often that i would be fishing in that depth.
