I last saw it a couple of weeks ago. I was walking along when a few lads threw a bucket of water over it. It barked at them, jumped in and swam off. I felt like saying it's a f****** seal not a dolphin. Obviously these thicko's thought it might dry out or something. Obviously couldn't read the signs which were saying do not approach or scare this seal as it's resting.

Seal/ fish

I do believe its a good idea that it has gone because the amount of undersized fish which were being thrown on the steps for it was unreal, and its only a good thing thats its gone so the fish which are undersized can grow instead of being thrown on the steps as seal supper. I was also on the Rathouse a couple of months ago when this P**s head was keeping everthing he caught small coalies no bigger than 15cm, codling again no bigger than 15cm, idiots like this give us anglers a bad name and he obviously must not now what a measure is or infact legal sizes for fish. He caught a coalie about 4ozs and said it was 3lbs obviously hes eyes needed testing and so he nocked it on the head and straight in the bag it went surely there can be something people can do about people like this taking undersized fish .

That really boils my ****! you pull them up about it and they say " its ok its for the cat"! So what! I dont care what its for, you just dont do it you iriot!

[codseeker]

well its only a seal ,shud it stay or shud it go,,peeps walk along just to see if its there sad fkrs,like the freddie the dolphin crap ,nee the wonder its fkd off lol

If there is one phrase that makes my blood boil its " I'll take that for the cat". It time people realised that there are size limits on most species and we all need to stick to them . There has been official comments about how pleased enforcement officers are that a majority of clubs in this region have minimun sizes that actually exceed the national minimum.

If you see someone keeping undersized fish tell them they are breaking the law ..they may listen...they may not. But at least you will have done your bit in terms of educating the uneducated.

Cheers for the help lads its just disgraceful for people to keep undersized fish although most anglers have common sense however there are also a widespread number who don't have a clue and just keep anything they catch fair enough if its legally size but when they are undersize its indispicable. thanx again for the help much appreciated lads

"If you see someone keeping undersized fish tell them they are breaking the law ..they may listen...they may not. But at least you will have done your bit in terms of educating the uneducated."
Im all for doing this and usually do step in but its getting to the stage where if you do say anything then you risk getting a bottle in the face for your troubles!

[codseeker]

no need for keeping small stuff,i wouldnt dream of keeping out undersize all goes back to gain another day ,i dont eat fish much ,but out decent goes to me da ,or nieghbours ,

keep to the size limits lads

[fozally]
