gill net at marsden bay?

They will care in a few years time when few housand more people sign on and then the chip shops and super markets start losing cash, by then it be the end and all over for the fish.

Still the internet will be there so we can see what one looks like, dogfish will be right next to the dodo.
 
aye lads, agree the whole things turned into a free for all if you have the gear to undertake such activities, wont be long now and our shore fishing could become a true thing of the past. government politicians are a definate waste of time and ive never seen one fishing neither.
 
OK guys I have just seen this post, and as you know I have campaigned in the North East for the last few years with support for the meeting at Newbiggin over licensing chaired by myself or the crab shelter affair at Jarrow. I have posted on here many times about issues with very few replies about the Marine Bill and the changes it will bring (netgain & others) when the Sea Fisheries Committees cease to exist and the new Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authorities start next year under the new Marine Management Organisation based in Newcastle with the powers granted to them under the Marine and Coastal Access Act I am sure there will be even greater changes. I was asked to join the NSFC last year by DEFRA to replace Tony Anderson and I will take your views to the next meeting but fundamentally, now knowing how the process works nothing will change until the IFCAs have started next year. You now all have an opportunity to make a difference and apply to the MMO to be a member of your local IFCA committee and help represent RSA, 25% could be RSA, 25% conservation groups and the like, 3 statutory bodies, EA, MMO & Natural England the rest will be made up from the 2 councils we have in Northumberland about 7 to10 of them. The bye law making process or changing off will require a campaign on our behalf and I cannot do it alone so If you wish to contact me by pm and volunteer your services and we can get something going.

It's no wonder the fishing dies a death after October! I may have missed your previous posts but all of us shore anglers want is the nets to be at least 3miles of shore like down Kent etc...and not a 100yards from the beach! No wonder they're getting there best shore fishing for years, again!

Its a waste of tme going out there at the min unless you're going to the holderness, kent etc...

Is Blyth beach really 7m deep that far out?! :o

Or 200yards off the cliffs at Newbiggin?! :o

I don't know what the penalties are for breaking the law but it should be impoundment of boats like it is with cars on a tab run.

Hi Les,

I have filled in my application for the IFCA's....

Like you say...got to be in it to win it. That is why the commercial sector always seem to prevail, because they are better organised and have many, many people prepared to represent their views, not people complaining on a website that only a small percentage of NE anglers visit....

Well done Waldof for writing to NSFC, if a few more people did it they may take RSA a bit more seriously. Right now they are happy to take your money in taxes, but give nothing back.... How many people on here staked their claims to areas they'd like designated as MCZ's.

Don't Be Tempted To Cut Them Loose

Don't Be Tempted To Cut Them Loose

As I mentioned on another thread, don't be tempted to cut nets free under the cover of darkness.

I have spoken to the one person who sent me a PM offering help as per my previous post, Thanks Terry. I have started the ball rolling with a meeting to be held at the end of this week with the Chief Fisheries Officer and Chief Executive of the NSFC, I have also spoken with the North East SFC and hope to try and co ordinate the two areas.
