Rob Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Interesting that it is a combination of mullet and bass specimen comp! I hope that all Yakkers have been given a permit from Sembcorp Bournemouth Water to allow them to fish the upper reaches of the harbour! Not cheap as Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagypsy Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I am sure it covers that area Rob, you also need an EA rod license for the weekend if you dont have one, The comp is based at the outdoor center at hengistbury head which is saltwater so why do you need one ?

mw Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Not sure what EA license is but Ringwood AC own the fishing rights up entence mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 You need a rod liscence to fish freashwater fish even if the the water there swimming is slightly salty- christchurch harbour used to be a quite famous roach mark. One for the day will cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 The good news is the money is spent on fisheries development The EA are great!!! They just love over populating the local rivers with tame otters. It is that over populated that have ripped the tidal stour (amongst other sections/rivers) to shreds. Nearly all the proper fresh water fish (barbel/carp/big chub/big roach/bream shoals) have all been eaten. Oh how I love the EA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 christchurch harbour used to be a quite famous roach mark. And still is, I might add. along with huge bream and carp to over 35 lb...not to mention mullet to over 8 lb....bass to 14lb....seatrout to 15lb....salmon to 30lb...........I have a punt and have fished it for over 40 years.....Well worth the money.... One thing though...there are no day tickets to fish the harbour...unless you have come to some agreement with the water company, only yearly permits to fish from your own boat.. There are 2 day tickets available, and then only if your are a Ringwood member. Remeber All species are catch and release.. The water is baliffed every day from a boat.

Gnasher Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 bass to 14lb.... Reports on the ringwood forum of a 15lb fish Need pics to back it up though, but it came from a reliable source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh how I love the EA Hopefully it wont be long before the Eastern Europeans find a way of catching them...I'm sure they have a recipe for them...... Its taken the ballifs years to stop their plundering, only to be replaced by the most efficient underwater fishers on the planet!!! and tame at that..... If you want to otter watch come down to the bottom of my garden.....I've given up fishing for barbel, as I've got a family of 4 very tame otters living there...

Member Removed Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 No you do not need an EA rod licence for this comp. The conditions of the ticket only stipulate that you hold an appropriate licence. I have spoken to the fisheries technical specialist at the EA solent regional office and he has confirmed that no EA rod licence is required when fishing for sea fish (bass,mullet etc) even in fully fresh water. There is no EA rod licence for these species so they cannot sell you one. Don't just take my word for it , phone them yourself . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Sadly to say its not a roach venue anymore, been emptied cormorants- Your obviously fishing the wrong swims.. Recent 2lb 2 oz Harbour Roach plus a bag of 1lb plus fish. Can provide co-ordinates for a small fee... but a lot of members know where I fish, cos they stop and chat on the river Tomo......

There always used to be a demarcation quite near the harbour entrance above which you needed a rod licence. I know for sure when I fished Stanpit ( for Sea Bass ) that a rod licence was required, as had it checked by EA person, so I am not so sure you have been given the correct information ?

Hi Paul, ....You are quite correct....if in doubt contact Davis Tackle. in Christchurch..they issue the permits and Nigel is totally conversant with the laws and bylaws appertaining to the area, which are dictated by the water company. Anywhere above the demarcation line in the harbour is subject to a EA licence...so I have been informed and this is also defined in the Ringwood Clubs members book.

Member Removed Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Just to add to my above comments. The EA coarse fishing rod licence allows one to fish on moving water for coarse fish only between the dates of the 16th of June and the 14th of March (dates inclusive ) . The Christchurch harbour , lower Stour fishery is open for Sea species fishing all year round. Can you see the inconsistencies? If fishing for lets say Mullet during the coarse fishing closed season, which EA rod licence should one hold? Perhaps a Salmon and migratory Trout licence? I don't think so!

Paul J Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 So what did go on? Was the comp fished? Did it require fish to be retained? Who won and what with? Anyone know? cheers PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seagypsy Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Still waiting for the full report PJ , Bass and Mullet were caught on the day , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Removed Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 It appears that no one achieved the grand slam. So the comp was not won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
