Bass Fishing Update
A topic of discussion prior to Bell Trophy registration - Latest Bass restrictions from the EU.
A conversation was recounted by an angler
he'd recently had with a Fisheries Inspector - "it's not yet in English law and the 3 bag limit & 42 cms size is still in place for us recreational anglers".
So just before 11pm last night I emailed David McCandless, Chief Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Officer.
This morning his prompt reply was waiting for me, and yes we can still catch 3 bass per day.
David McCandless has promised to let me know as & when it comes into force.
Tight lines
Peter.
PS I watched Country File last night & the BBC were also saying the Bass ban is now in force - it isn't

Marine Conservation Zones are a new designation tool included in the Marine and Coastal Access Act that can be designated to conserve and/or aid the recovery of: the range of marine biodiversity in our waters; rare or threatened habitats and species; and features of geological or geomorphological interest. MCZs will apply to UK offshore waters, and English and Welsh territorial waters.
The Act provides the tools needed to designate and protect a network of sites - Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) - which will provide protected areas covering habitats and species which exist in our seas. MCZs will be both large enough, and close enough together, to support functioning communities of marine wildlife. MCZs will be used to protect areas that are important to conserve the diversity of rare, threatened and representative habitats and species [Ref: Marine and Coastal Access Act Policy Statement].
