I know of one skipper who wouldn't dump the fish, he gave it away for free, he still got court, fined. He's boat couldn't fish. 

The people making these laws never worked a boat in their lives.  

They said the cod stock were in danger in the Irish sea. The amount of cod dumped is criminal. 

The Irish government sold a large chunk of our quota.

It’s feckin bonkers the dumping that takes place, laws made by idiots who should be made to step foot on a fishing boat for the day and see what it takes to shoot an net and then made to throw what’s caught overboard........

Stupid laws. If the boats could land their by catch, no needless waste of fish, less time at sea, less time out in bad weather, less risk, less running cost, a bit more money all round.

Excalty, or the needy. Fish is expensive enough to buy, without each boat dumping tonnes of it each year.

That fella Hugh farrnely wittingstall (spelling) did a good programme in this subject

Angling isn't my thing really. I find it boring to be honest, but that's me. 

I get out regular at pots or jigging dredging  with family members. 

I'd love nothing more to work my own boat, but the cost of setting up is unbelievable, but I'm very fortunate to be able to head out any day I can.

A lot of people have a romantic view of fishing for a living, dont  get me wrong it's great way of life, but like most jobs hard work, you do earn your wages.

Spot on.you won't be shy of a lobster now and again mate.

It must be frustrating watching a rough sea and wanting to get put there to earn a living.

Edited to add.

Is there any laws if you wanted to drop say 2 lobster pots from a kayak now and again.or do you need permits etc.

You can fish a certain amount of pots, for your own use, table, as long as your not selling them commercially.

Yeah it is frustrating when you can't get out, but worse still, been out there and not catching anything. The inshore fishing grounds where i am are disseminated, raped, nearly wiped out. All down to greed, and not looking after the grounds and stock. 

Their fishing all year round now. Sure nothing in nature could stand that harvesting. 

I have cousins further down the coast. They don't fish any pots until March till Sept.  They notch, don't take females with berries and don't take small ones.

Its seems here it's all or nothing. 

The same happened with the Cray fish is well. Wiped them out with tangle nets.

I wouldn't advise any young person to start up now.

The amount of prime fish dumped is shameful. Their dead, not going to do anything or anyone any good. If not allowed to sell them, give it away to hospital, homeless shelters schools.

Doesn't make sense

Consumers have to take a lot of the blame as well mate, they won’t buy the products.

The UK catches some of the finest spider crab in the world and it all gets exported because we won’t eat it !! 
 

Regulation in fishing and farming is killing everything, there’s a few small farmers who don’t fit “in the system” starting to take measures to bypass the government and Agriculture people and take control of their farms and their products.
