Your right there mann i can tell you one thing if article 47 is passed then ALL SEA ANGLING is F**k*d

Now is the time for every Angler North and South to stand up and be counted we need a united body to speak no YELL for everybody involved.

THIS COULD BE THE END TO OUR SPORT whether CATCH AND REALASE OR NOT

mods can you do anything about this topic ????? maybe a sticky or a pool that we can forward to the MEPs ???

O Taz if it only was that simple......... we will have a quota for every fish that is on the fishing quota list at the mo and every sea going boat that might want to fish will need a licence and going on commercial licences (which we will be in competition with) then there will be no more pleasure angling boats :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Lads wake up and smell the coffee THIS IS THE WORST THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO SEA ANGLERS

Read article 47 and then start crying :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

You might have to go to Donegal to mackey-bash.

[quote]MINISTER OF State for Fisheries Tony Killeen has defended his share-out of this year’s increased mackerel quota amid criticisms that most of it has been given to the Donegal supertrawler fleet.
[/quote]

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ire ... 72597.html

I can see the Donegal Gardai enforcing that one...

"The accused was in possession of 2 mackerel, an Ian Golds heavy machine gun tripod, two 140 gr North Korean fragmentation grenades with breakaway clips, 1000 metres of Varivas command wire, a Silva infra-red night sight, etc., etc.)"

was reading "fishing news" this evening and it seems the commercial sector are strongly against this too as the quota for recreational boats will be taken from the commercial.seems fair enough to me,dont forget we all have a part to play if we want stock recovery.
