Sorry to reply so l8 Tony m8 but u no how it is I read this report (p**sed like so chilled) & you\'d be surprised at the findings. It seems we Anglers account for a lot when it comes to the fishing industry & retail economy
It\'s well worth taking the time to flick through as it surprised me.

I have just come across this report and got to admit it is VERY INTERESTING

I would love to see some of the \"conditions\" that would be required before agreeing to a sea licence being introduced. such as, banning gill nets and comercial fishermen from areas, but i suspect it would be impossible to police, as soon as an area had good stocks the netters or trawlers would be in, and wipe it out in one night.
And i suspect that after the licence fee was an accepted anual fee then less & less would be done year by year
I also believe that we will have a sea angling licence within a few years that won\'t work and we will regret ever letting them introduce it.
GREAT IN THEORY THOUGH !

As Marty says great in theory if you look at the top of page four you will see it says \"guide as to\" obviously though this is still a great stride forward for angling thanks to a few who are fighting the cause.
