I would put a bet on with any one of you that within a decade you will need a licence to fish in the sea. Anyone who thinks it isn't coming is not watching closely enough.

 

We recently had a meeting in the north east with DEFRA. A chance to show them we are big in numbers and we mean business. How many turned up ? 7 anglers from the whole of the north east. Labour wont be worried about loosing 7 votes. What's worse is the REp at the meeting from the sea fisheries committee told us we need our catches restricting too. Bag limits for anglers was the words he uttered.

Glenn, correct me if i am wrong, but that meeting was not open to everyone, and i only noticed the invite on another forum. as anglers mainly use the one forum, i thought it could have been better advertised. cheers

Hi Topfly,

 

The meeting was open to all anglers. The doc I think organised the meeting on behalf of Yalasa and publicised the meeting on all the north east forums. After getting a real hard time from Nigel in the winter for not attending a couple of meetings I made sure I didn't miss this one. As you would have noticed the initial post about the meeting in my forum was made back in winter time. As owner of the forum I placed it in our calendar and kept bumping the subject back to the top of our board the nearer the meeting date got. Unfortunately the owners of other forums thought the topic not worthy of such treatment (maybe I am obsessed and they arent). I have in the passed tried to post info onto other north east forums and met resistance from the site moderators especially with regards to posting links to other info on the net (for example articles on SACN). Infact I was once accused by a forum administrator of being "very ignorant" for posting links onto one of the major north east forums. I conclude the other forums by and large are only interested in posts about fishing.

 

Needless to say I no longer bother posting links onto that forum and I am reluctant to go there and post anything unless I feel it to be entirely necasserry.

 

So what to do ? I post the info onto my forum, I go to the tackle shops and put up the posters made by fellow angler Martyn from Scarborough, I drop a poster in at Big cods pub (home to Whitby fishing club) I offer lifts in my car to the meeting (at no cost) and still we get 7 anglers turn up.

 

No doubt in a few weeks time we will be getting complaints about licences and bag limits etc from those who did not attend.

 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..
