I am sorry if some people think these minimum sizes are wrong, but all stakeholders, including RSA's, were invited to send in there comments both as a group or individually.
We at the Poole & District Sea Angling Association sent in our comments on the sizes, I think it is time that all RSA's started to make more demands or at least send in comments and suggestions to the IFCA's on proposals or actions needed.
I would have thought that the PBSBAC would have been contacted as a stakeholder group to get information out to its membership.
You can always look up current proposals and consultations that current by logging onto Southern IFCA's web site.
Sometimes as an angling body we need as many inputs as we can get to stop over enthusiastic national conservation groups putting up restricting issues and not being challenged on their data. A good example of this was concerning Black Bream mortality rates by catch & release. When looking at the data put forward it was challenged and found inconclusive.
