Mullet Focus Group

[beachcomber]

A small group of anglers are interested in forming a Mullet Focus Group, it is envisaged that the aims of this group will be (a) to promote the mullet species as a sport angling fish, (b) to collect samples ( scale , length and girth) across the size and species range to help build a solid data base (c) to promote a strong ethos of safe handling / catch and release and (d) to lobby for the protection of the mullet species. Any interest is welcomed. PM welcome.

Count me in too....

A focus group to make a case for mullet protection is a good idea. However, It is unfortunate that such a lobby is needed - since the people in charge of the nation's fisheries seem to be unaware of the value of mullet as a sustainable sport fishery and its complete UNIMPORTANCE both historically or potentially as an unsustainable COMMERCIAL species. The protection of mullet should be just an unprompted stroke of a pen to the people in charge - which of course assumes that the people in charge are COMPETENT to be in charge of Ireland's fisheries.
