I may be wrong Mike but, as I understand it, one is not allowed to purposely fish for bass in the nursery areas. As it is a bass competition, I would have thought the answer is implicit. But, as I said, I may be wrong.
Terry.
Have checked the CEFAS site which states you are not allowed to fish for bass from a boat within the bass nursery areas full stop. Therefore if you take part in a bass only competition and fish within the nursery area you are breaking the law.
Happy hunting

I'll be keeping a close eye on which lures you are using..... 
Tomo....Nudge Nudge
At the moment, I'll call the comp as ON.
Sun is a little window in the weather. Bright and Breezy would be my take on it. Met Office are giving NW 3/4, Windguru and XC both seem to agree.
It's not going to be flat calm out there, but I think plenty of areas will be fishable.
Take care out there, bear in mind the huge tides we have this weekend, and parts of the day will see wind against tide... some of the tide races we like to fish will be 'lively' to say the least.
If it changes I'll post here, if not see you on the water. 
Thanks Adam
My lads have other committments, so I have jumped ship for a change.
Alfresco will stay on her mooring and I will now be on 50/50 with Stuart and Will
Tight lines
Charlie
Does that mean you're the tea boy/head chef for a change?
