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.???????? 😡
I was lucky enough to be invited out on Stingray last year. She is superbly laid out and that engine is very smooth and you give it a right good flushing through after every trip.
I can guess that the Mark 1 in Gosport will be cheaper and then start spending !

Probably pay a bit more for one that's ready to go and the spending has already been done.
I know which way I'd jump.
Just my opinion ! !
As an ex Warrior owner I can vouch for their quality.
