I read a column in sunderland echo last nite about the licence.

 

[davem2005]

She was still in London on wednesday and no doubt any relevant emails on responses to the RSA consultation will still get through.

That is an email adress for the Fisheries Inshore Management group, Nicola being the one prepared to put her email addy online.

The bosses are Anthony Hines and Trevor Hutchinson , so if you dont get a reply ring the number on the consultation document and ask for their email adresses.

Will edit this tomorrow with their direct dial numbers and also the email address of their boss Mr John Shaw, the fisheries minister.

Cheers
Dave

Well I think it`s probably a good idea to have a sea liceince cos at least they`ll then stock the sea with lots od cod for us to catch just like they do for fresh water fishing ....................... or have I got it wrong ?

 

[Topfly]

Norman, I'd pay it if i thought they would stock the inshore waters, or at least controll the commercials ,and give us a golden mile.... or two..

Here is another person to complain to if you feel the consultation process on the RSA is not to your liking. I fire them off to anyone who might listen, and get replies from most.

Comments or complaints about the consultation process (as opposed to comments about the issue which is the subject of consultation) should be addressed to:

I don't think its a good idea at all. Forgive me for not trusting our government but i am more than a little suspicious that if any revenue gets put back into the sport we in the north east shall see no benefit of it.
it has always seemed to me that we are a bit forgotten up here. I for one do not want pay an annual sum to have the bass stocks preserved 300 miles away or to fund a new road to some beach in devon!!!!!!!!!!!!

v bad idea IMO just another way of the government getting their hands in our pockets, it will go to pay for another army of jobs worths who will ultimatley think they own the sea and look down there noses at anglers telling us when and were to fish.

 

[northeast1]

Yer thought no point it's already all been said when i read it back.

Just have to have 9 less pints a year (Newcastle prices)

Just had an automated response to my complaint to defra though it took a while. It just spurned on about how everyones opinion will be considered and that a license would not be introduced immediately but that passing the marine bill will enable them to introduce the license.
