I fished the Newbiggin Open at the weekend and theyre size limit for Bass has been raised to 41cms. As far as i know angling bodies were lobbying for a 45cm limit but it got knocked back but will be reviewed in 5yrs or so, bass dont mature til theyre 43-44cms or so so the new size is just pointless!!! I know what you mean about the drop from the north arm tho tony, very unlikely that it would have survived, pity tho cos theyre a beautiful fish. Maybe you should alter the rules slightly the 35cms works but just not for every species. Hope to be there on friday and the new times should encourage more to turn up and theres still time for a pint afterwards aswell!!!
