So................ No Pair Trawling in the Western Approaches during spawning (25% of the total take per year!) A 2 fish Bag Limit - per Angler per day plus the increase in minimum landing size I wonder how much of that will actually happen. No mention of illegal netting

If the tank is nearly empty fit a new filter - then try filling the tank a couple of times with Petrol Station "cleaned" fuel. It is a bit more expensive - and then check the filter. you will soon know if the tank is "dirty". Modern fuels should be pretty clean anyway - If using red Diesel add a fuel additive / cleaner. Diesel bug should be kept at bay if the fuel is topped up regularly. Neal
