Hi Jim.
Thanks for brining in my view such an important event to our attention.
It bemuses me how little attention it appears to receive and how I didn't know about it until stumbling upon it on these forums.
I could be naïve and slightly ignorant when feeling excited about the prospect of this conference and its potential long term implications for bass angling.
Here's hoping!
Kind regards,
John D.

I agree.
I just don't understand how the current all-pervading tv cookery culture gets away with continually promoting on the menu a threatened species without being harangued by the politically correct lobby- like the rest of us are about things that don't really matter diddly cr@p.

Excellent point salar - perhaps you and I should start typing some letters/e-mails to celebrity chefs!?

MasterChef BBC 1 8pm tonight ..........Guess what's on the menu.
These cookery nerds seem hellbent on wiping Bass out, or do they think that by renaming them to Sea Bass that they have created a separate species.

When your at it John you might send a note to Sean Kelly MEP and remind him as to why conservation measures were put in place for bass in the first place, what in effect have the commercial fishery 'lost' in these twenty years, remind him too of the sustainable socio/economic impact of the fishery and mention the demise of the orange roughy, another K species now virtually wiped out in less than six years by commercial fishing.

I will indeed Jim, thank you for that.
Excuse my ignorance but has Sean Kelly been campaigning to reopen the bass fishery recently?
