Commercial Shore Netting Update

A big thank you to everyone who supported our campaign against the Government changing the law to allow commercial shore netters to land and sell sea bass. Unfortunately, the Government has gone ahead and made a law that says the prohibition on landing and selling bass does not apply to bycatches from some commercial shore netting. This legislation seems to us to be ill-founded and incoherent: no bass catch limits no closed season to protect spawning bass. will increase bass mortality, particularly juvenile bass discriminatory against recreational fishing We also have grave concerns about the way this policy decision was made.  This is not the way to gain the trust or support of sea anglers.

It is quite incredible how the powers that be cannot see the wood for the trees. I think it’s quite depressing, the last two years, has, in my eyes seen a good resurgence in Bass numbers and size in year groups, then they do this.???????? 😡

they dont care, all they care about are negative headlines.

 

Needs to get out there into the news cycle, but sadly it is just background noise when they are changing the law to allow raw sewage to be dumped in rivers etc.
