Very good interview Brian.... I thought you made your points very well....

Kev

i caught the last 5 mins of the interview yesterday - the interviewer really wanted to draw you on the "how many people actually are angling?" question

my personal opinion would be to labor on the point that there are already thousands of anglers - just because we fish un noticed or maybe are not in clubs etc. we are still there

i know you made the point in relation to great tourist potential - but sea angling must come across as an established norm - that may go unnoticed as we are demented standing in the rain, in darkness in the middle of november and noone is mad enough to go out looking for us

im not trying to critise your interview - you had answers to all questions - and came across really well - not the angry angler - that the times wanted

but i wanted to wear my mug punter hat and see how what your were saying could be interpreted

but then again i only got the last five mins

well done to all on this campaign by the way - you are fighting the battle for the fishing rights of all of us countrywide

my personal opinion would be to labor on the point that there are already thousands of anglers - just because we fish un noticed or maybe are not in clubs etc. we are still there

A Marine Institute study put the number of sea anglers at 127,100 in 2003.
