Saturday 12 August 2017

Nothing new really.  No fish reported yesterday so far.  River conditions much the same but fish
very loath to take indeed.



See below if your interested in sea fishing.  Personally I rather wish they would concentrate on solving the countrywide canoe issue or at least sort out the one at Glasbury -despite perhaps upsetting their friends on the beats above.  Won't happen though.



Welcome to your August Sea Newsletter


Summer is just round the corner... get out there and get fishing!


Angling Trust Launches Campaign to Help Save Our Wrasse

We’ve launched a national campaign to stop the transport of live wild English wrasse to Scotland to be used to control sea lice in Scottish salmon farms.

The Angling Trust wants the fishery closed immediately until more is known about its impacts on wrasse populations, the coastal ecosystem and on recreational sea angling.

Get involved, support our campaign and sign our petition!




Angling Trust Launches its Vision for Post-Brexit Sea Fisheries

The Angling Trust has published its ambitious vision for the management of the UK’s seas once we leave the EU. The Trust’s vision focuses on managing fish stocks as a public resource, and focusing on optimal utilisation of fish stocks by recognising the social and economic contribution made by members of the public who go fishing for pleasure.





Specimen Awards Scheme Update

So far 2017 has seen some cracking fish entered into the Angling Trust Sea Specimen Award Scheme; including a whopping 11lb 6oz shore-caught Turbot, a huge 25lb 4oz boat-caught Spurdog and a staggering 21lb 10oz shore-caught Blonde Ray.

The scheme has been running since 1972 and awards anglers with medals for specimen sea fish. Entries for 2017 close on 30th November.


SOSB Fishing Opportunities 2018

Our friends at Save Our Sea Bass are calling on supporters to respond to the EU Commission’s consultation on fishing opportunities for 2018.

Supporters are being asked to respond to the consultation by calling for:

  • fixed netters to be landed from landing bass, or restricted them to 3% of total catch;
  • vessel catch limits for commercial hook and line fishermen to be set at 1.0 tonne per annum;
  • spawning Sea Bass to be protected with a 6-month moratorium for commercial bass landings.
