Seems to read no bass to be kept for first part of the year and then one instead of three allowed to be kept.

Hope they tell the nets not to catch bass.

Fishing Ministers accused of ‘shameful conservation con trick’ over bass stocks
http://www.ukbass.com/fishing-ministers-accused-of-shameful-conservation-con-trick-over-bass-stocks/
Nigel H cover its well below: a few comments to Sifca's facebook page or website wouldn't go a miss chaps
"Sea anglers are justifiably furious with this outcome for not only threatening their future sport, but also for the blatant disregard for any fairness or justice in allocating these 'fishing opportunities' between anglers and commercial fishermen. This is a shameful result."
Pity we haven't got any ministers with backbones, they always give in to pressure.
This is the problem when you push too hard to conserve fish stocks , B.A.S.S wanted restrictions on bass retention and now its come back to bite them in the a#se. Luckily I dont rate bass to eat that much,but still like to catch them on a c&r basis. We should be trying to conserve all fish stocks not just one.Thats my two pennysworth on the subject.
Can I still use bass as live bait for sharks????
Sorry couldn't resist, as usual it's all gone wrong

You don't have to take the backbone out like cuttle fish and squid!!!!

There would be work for the Navy . . . . . . blasting holes in foreign trawlers that come into our waters !

You can bet your life, while the UK keeps to the rules, the rest of Europe will ignore them.
