Well as I occasionally use 3 rods I'll save a couple of quid. Still seems daft and over complicated to me though.

 

Why not have a single £15 rod licence and let anglers buy 1-4 as required

As usual it looks like an obvious solution is over looked and they ignore the common sense decision in favour of something that makes no sense at all.   If you are going to reform something why not

I've never really believed anglers should be the ones picking up the bill to police our waters and clean up from others, some of whom that make vast profits while making our waters dirty.   At least

I for one would like to know why they have gone up so much and what my money will be spent on. Presumably we'll get a comprehensive breakdown by way of an EA update?

Errrrm they have one of the best pension plans in the u k for their guys

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..

As i'm a bailiff I have no option but to get a licence...but if I wasn't then there's no way that I would get obu at all. I would never blame anyone for not having one as it's such a blatant stelth tax.

 

Now were constantly having the AT shoved down our throts also trying to get even more money out of us...what a crock of shyte!

I shell out for my license, and AT although I only use one rod, it's a small fee to pay to be part of a fishing 'club' that may not be perfect but does represent the angler. A club bailiff really should have a view that although the angler has a club card, he should also have a rod license, like the majority of law abiding folk.

A recent case of 'poaching' on the Severn was recently heard in court, and the Polish angler was fined £600, he was also guilty of 'stealing' from the fishery, that's my club water, so good on the EA, and good on me and others that ask for a valid license, and, very much not a bailiff like your good self.

I quite often get a licenced passed to me as i check permits i return them and tell them i am not a government tax enforcer ,if the club wants all members to have one it should only issue permits to licence holders ,myself i dont give a dam i am only instructed to scrutinise club permits

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Thing is the one's without a valid rod licence are more inclined to do other illegal actions whilst fishing, such as stealing fish stocks or even gear. As a bailiff it might be worthwhile to consider that, I know Birmingham AA bailiffs now have the EA 'power' to check both. Personally I am only to pleased to be asked, knowing the thieving scrotes are being knocked back.

Just because i'm a bailiff doesn't mean I can't have an opinion, and imo the rod licence is a ripp off and just another stealth tax.

The AT isn't a 'angling club' and I would most certainly never join it.

Imo the AT is just another string to the EA's bow and if you get a feel good factor by giving more money than you need to to another part of a goverment body then good for you.

By the way, as a bailiff I remove none members from my clubs waters. As Chesters has said, i'm not a goverment tax enforcer and he's right.

As i said if the club wished 100% of their anglers had licencies they would only issue permits to licence holders.

As for illegal activities i am sure if they occur most are by licence holders why would a non licence holder draw attention to himself ,i am ofcourse talking about a club member not a day ticket or river angler on non club waters who knows what they get up to?

Having a small bit of card does not stop opportunist thefts especially on closed waters ,its like saying if you have a valid driving licence you would never jump a red light ,speed or have a crash

 

If i remember rightly any licence holder could ask to see another anglers licence ,i guess the EA dont like that as it appears to have disapeared ,i guess they dont wish that incase to many get challenged and the fines go down due to more possesing licences?

The ceo of TAT made it known that anglers are not that important compared with their funding stream.

 

on the sea side, (pun) everything it has done for the rsa it has meant restrictions at present they are party to the demise of the bass charter boat fleet. Not bad considering they don't have one paid up rsa rep on their books. Looking at their job titles TAT is not an angling org, it concentrates on conserving the fish stocks rather badly. all down to funding.
