Only if they are over minimum size otherwise they should be released asap after capture

Hi Greg I can confirm that currently it is illegal to take, keep or use as live bait undersize fish of whatever species Using commercially purchased bait be it frozen or fresh is not illegal So if you want to use joeys or other small baits, you have to buy them if you can find them. I would suggest that you keep receipts and wrappings when out fishing in case you are inspected to prove what you are using which will save a lot of hassle Dave

Thanks everyone Whilst I am no longer a member of the club I do keep an eye out on what is being caught and happening 😉 Happy Birthday Charlie hope you had a good day out with the family as I did Dave

Pre Order your bait from Andy

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.

The prohibitions are split into two schedules. Schedule 1A applies to all persons, irrespective of whether they are a commercial operator or a recreational operator. These are the species which are not subject to the landing obligation and have a minimum landing size specific to the Southern IFC District. Schedule 1B applies to all persons but contains a provision which exempts vessels fishing under a commercial fishing vessel licence issued by the Marine Management Organisation or a devolved administration, as these vessels are required to comply with landing obligations and Minimum Conservation Reference Sizes for these are provided for in UK legislation. The prohibitions are applied to all persons for undersized velvet crabs and undersized male spider crabs with the exception of existing prohibitions, applied through UK Statutory Instruments. The byelaw includes method of measurement according to the anatomy of the named species.

Minimum Conservation Reference Size Byelaw Southern IFCA is pleased to announce the confirmation of the Minimum Conservation Reference Size Byelaw. The byelaw introduces minimum sizes to enable the protection of juvenile fish and shellfish species. These minimum size measures will be applied throughout the commercial supply chain and to recreational fishers. The measures include new minimum sizes for wrasse species, grey mullet species and crawfish. The byelaw is now in force throughout the Southern IFC District.
