pigeon   11 #49 Posted September 18, 2012 so that's why all the eastern europeans flood here....they have run out of fish in romania...eat our fish, beg on our streets, clog up our hospitals....should get 25 years for poaching our tiddlers...  Well said ! I fish canal at back of c f Boothes in Rotherham and they are always down scrounging fish to eat.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
BigDonWizzle   10 #50 Posted September 18, 2012 i recently have started fishing again and the first thing i did was buy a licence... only 27 pound for the year how can you complain at that???? i dont think fish should be taken out of the canal but something about taking a trout out of the rivers really appeals to my im not sure why but would love to try as it is apart of my (our) british culture... i have been on the canal alot in the last few weeks and seen alot of ppl fishing without a licence this is out of order for the rest of us... i would consider being a voluntary balif and maybe most of us should consider this.. help protect our own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kerrangaroo   10 #51 Posted September 18, 2012 I have zero interest in fishing (or so i've been told) other than the appeal of sitting in a boat smack in the middle of a large lake on a warm day just watching the world around me but I am in full agreement with licensing. I don't see it has anything to do with anything other than to ensure that fish are only fished at certain times of the year thus enabling the 'sport' to continue through replenishment. Allowing anyone to fish as and when they wanted would quickly deplete stocks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
