Hope not i was kicking myself last week, i was on south shields pier, the only one there other than 3 kids about 10-12ish. I started catching so they came across and started fishing next to me, after an hour with them getting none and me about 40, i told them where, depth and gave them the same rig as i was using so they had a chanc ein getting some.
Then they got 2 colie about 6\" after about 20mins of trying and bash, off the ground they went and into a bag. \"I said you will get fined and your tackle taken off you if you get caught with undersized fish\" they said \"so\" and by the time i left they had killed about 8 colie and i felt abit crap but i always remember when i was that age and never got much help from the men on the pier, so i tried to help them out.
Next time i will think twice.
