:confused:fishing steetly pier last sunday morna couple lads were catching small coalies in a crab net when asked why they were keeping them said for winter bait, has anyone tried these if so whats the best way and for what species.:confused:
 
Yer i seen it on shields on Friday, i informed the lad doing it and after a few choice words he started to put them back when i told him how much the fine was and how anyone could ring them up and only one way off the pier :)
 
i've seen little kids catching them down the side on a line and i suppose it is excuseable if they keep a couple i use to when i was a kid, but that was about 100years ago and there were billions of them, today it is a very different story, but lads netting for them even if it,s a crab net is wrong ,how old were these lads approx.
 
Just by chance were the people involved polish. There are a couple of polish lads who fish the pier regularly and take everything no matter how small it is.
 
report it to

north east fisheries commitee

the phone number is 01482393690

thats the number a used to report the taking of undersize fish and was told they would look into it but only have 4blokes to patrol from the tyne down to about grimsby a

iv,e also seen the polish lads taking every little postage size dab home and i approached them and told them it was illegal to keep these fish, i just got a load of verbal abuse in polish,[ allthough they understood me perfectly ] and as i was out nummbered about 10 to 1 i decided that caution was the better part of valour,and went back to my mark.
 
what about this then, 2 adults both local coloured gents, on Blyth pier monda nite targeting small coalies 2 keep!!!, also have witnessed polish lads doing the same all summer when us locals are mackie fishin!!:o we need some policing on the piers to combat these actions, but who?
