CVFM "Gone Fishing" Radio Show, broadcasts live every Saturday from 8 am to 9 am on www.cvfm.org.uk. and can also be heard from the following Monday on Mix Cloud at any time.
My guest this Saturday is Malcolm Gilbert. Malcolm is at the forefront of the fight regarding the unfair laws appertaining to Bass for anglers.

[MickMcC]

All UK anglers and fishermen should vote OUT..!!

The laws do seem unfair but is it not the first step to bass conservation and a well managed fishery for rsa's and commercial fishermen to enjoy in the future.
I don't oppose the new restrictions and wished they had uped the minimum landing size to 50cms
Now the rsa is seeing more restrictions I hope the government will start looking at the real cause of bass and fish stock decline and and put greater restrictions on the commercials to protect one of our natural resources
There once was a time you could fish for tuna in the north sea ,

Concerning the tuna that's very true, in the 1930's catching blue fin tuna on rod and line from a boat was classed as a gentelmans sport, the biggest tuna caught was just off whitby at aprox 800lbs and the reason there was huge shoals of tuna in the north sea was that there where even bigger shoals of herring untold millions of them, until we in our wisdom decided to decimate the herring till there was none left, so the tuna upped and left for richer feeding grounds.

The decimation of the herring is a good local example , I wonder how many jobs were lost with the herring collapse.
All I wish for is a well managed fishery

Me too.

I am not a RSA, I am a hunter, catch it kill it, eat it. I fish for the table. Too many stupid people can't think outside the box in terms of conservation. The bigger the fish you take, the bigger the loss to the recruitment to a fishery. Its better to take smaller fish as that is what nature allowed for. The big fish lay more eggs and have a better chance at escaping predation. Catch all the big ones and leave the small which can't reproduce in the huge munbers required kills the fishery.

Also, now many people like me who won't be Bass fishing until July won't be spending money in local tackle shops on bait, hooks, line, lures and other impulsive buys we make in the shop.

Well done the EU, destroying anglers forage and tackle shops for absoloutely no ecological gain.....................MUPPETS.. VOTE OUT..!!
