In MY case . . . .  one every four years 

But at least I know they're well fed !

Maybe it's just me, but I don't feel it's really related to the EU.

I think it's more to do with favouritism toward the commercial.

[Mike Fox]

My gut feel is we'll constrain RSA bass catches and commercial landings in the way the EU should have implemented it....and enforce a 200 mile limit.

My thoughts are what a sad world we live in.

 

When you see/read Western approaches from Chris I think we are maybe better off staying in to put our points forward. The volume of jobs involved compared to the likes of the steel industry, I would imagine would be relatively small in the fishing industry, so no government will move with any intention/aggression to help out the poor old Bass.

We unfortunately have to keep banging away however much it seems like an up hill waste of time, some one some where must listen before it's too late.

PLEASE

Preaching to the converted I know

Lets get out and maybe we would become Great Britain again

I know that you like going to France Mike but if we enforce a 200 mile limit, the UK will extend to just short of Paris and take in most Eire for that matter

[Mike Fox]

If the limit overlaps with another country's waters, then it's traditional to split the difference. So for Poole/Cherbourg which are about 60 miles apart, the line would be 30 miles out...

Good bite that Chris.       

[ChrisE]

I thought that the groundbait might work ....

I'm wondering if our  government will take better care of the resource or strip it bare quicker than the EU?

It should be ok as long as we keep french out of our waters as we havent got a very large fishing fleet anymore ,most went bust!.

[Matt]

I actually worry an.out vote would lead to a lot of deregulation as it would be fashionable to appear to be benefiting British fishing fleets,two years later multiple species would crash.

 

Yesterday I watched an interview with a trawler skipper bemoaning the fact they have to land bycatch and not just discard it
