Fished today with half of Sussex on the W/Arm

Very few fish , few Mackie and Gars, 2 mini dabs and this.

About 1 1/2lb , smaller than last one but still worth having.

Unfortunately, had swallowed hook so had to kill it.

Swapped it for a bag of bulleyes. Sorry for crap photo..

Sorry Sean, I can vouch for this one as I saw G take it out of the "Plastic Fish R Us" carrier bag and unwrap it "putting the packaging in the bin"...Nice touch on the website Mr.

I wish........!!!!!!!!!!


Was talking to a guy next to me today who fished last weekend and had a couple of doggies off the West Arm which doesn't happen very often..

More importantly, he told me that a Fisheries agent was up there and has issued £500 fine on some guy killing and taking under size Rocklings.

Don't know how true this is but he claims the agent watched this guy kill about 3/4 fish before he moved in.

If it is true then "Bloody Good" on him.

GREAT!!
lets spread the word
The word about the rubbish went around quick enough, lets hope the Undersized fish penalty will as well
Good on the Fisheries men

We do at least have a little more ammo for the Generator Boyz. True or not....

Lets get that sign up soonest then

As far as I am aware no MFA or SSFC officer can issue fines. It would be a case for the CPS/magistrates to consider.

I'll seek clarification.

I don't suppose the Fisheries Agent (?) spoke with a Balkan accent?

You could be right, I was just relaying what I was told. If what you say is correct then what is the point having Fisheries agents with no power.
I assumed they were like any other Government based agency and could do what they liked.

Would be good to get confirmation on this..

Their powers are similar to those of an EA Bailiff. Although I suspect the Marine Fisheries Agency might have powers of seizure and arrest on commercial vessels.

I will find out for sure.

Ada

Cheers,,, Would be interested to learn.

Gentlemen etc,

The Fisheries guys don't have powers to issue fixed penalty tickets, they report for summons which can lead to a £500 fine, lets hope he did then, that'll see him off, especially after all the dead ling we saw earlier in the year on the wall.

Hope this clears up the questions.

While we are talking about the Sea Fisheries officers. Dont forget that a personal guided tour on the Fisheries Patrol vessel is one of the raffle prizes in the PRTP charity open.
Shameless plug i know but still on topic at least.
