Hanging bass
What a shame you decided to hang that bass on the hook to take a picture. Utter disrespect. Deserved better.That will have done it a world of good before you (hopefully) returned it to the sea. These fish are now considered endangered and a strict catch and release law applies between 1st Jan untill 1st July. One fish of size per angler per session can be taken untill 31st Dec .

This not about ''raping the sea'' which is another subject, but how to treat fish, bass cod coalie or whatever when caught. There is no reason whatever to leave a live fish hanging by a hook to take a trophy picture. If anyone can tell me why it is a good idea then please write up. This issue is particularly relevant when the fish has to be returned as the fish in the picture had to .
As to bass being endangered, according to MAF figures bass numbers have been halved in the North Sea in just 5 years. Every fish counts for breeding and treating them with care before release is simple common sense.

Well why not guide someone politely rather than be a complete tool about the way you word a post...... guide people and help them rather than try and rip them apart online? The fact the lad has tried to give an honest informative report rather than the 'secret location ' crap that is normally posted is a bonus, this is again the kind of post that is killing off this forum.

Some folk think its ok to do what they want to fish while complaining about others. Some think its ok just to hook fish for fun without any concern for the damage they do. If they were so concerned for the fish they wouldn't go fishing. Its very hypercritical to injure fish in their way but complain about what other anglers do. Sticking treble hooks into fish with lures is very bad for fish but some think they go back unhurt never mind the torn mouth parts and the stress of capture.
Better than the pictures you see of under size lying next to a cigarette box, lighter or small pop bottle bleeding from the gills followed by the saying "saved a blank" now that's utter disrespect, as for the fish hanging from the hook people that fish from piers and cliff tops will do a lot more harm to the fish just by landing it or returning it. As said if so concerned for the fish don't go fishing at the end of the day dragging them out of the water sometimes through thick kelp or lifting hem up piers and cliffs
Couldn't agree more :thumbup:
You are dead right there.
Commercials still get to catch 20 tonnes a year, then any after that have to be returned, eyes popped out, crushed, dead, keep putting your Bass back lads nice and easy for the commercials to destroy after you have taken so much care. Its madness to restrict shore anglers, a complete waste of time in fish conservation.
I can't see any difference in who kills the fish, it's still dead. Surely us responsible anglers will adhere to the rules as they are in place for a reason.
Also, it's 10 tons per year not 20.
