Same as the CA. James Barcley of This Is Hunting has said 'every effort must now be made to engage with an ever enquiring public'... Which right now is simply shutting the stable door after the horse has well and truely bolted..! That was what was needed after the marches, near 20 years ago, when we all stood shoulder to shoulder and had strength in numbers. But it was all too easey to throw coursing (and lurcherwork) under the bus to save their own skins and go back to quaffing Pimms in the guarded gentlemens clubs of Whitehall...

WILF 44,299 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Fishing is going nowhere, it’s the biggest participator sport in the country and the revenue is gigantic ! The antis tried their hand on the bank 35 odd years in the pre mobile phone days and got ironed out ! Id say the biggest threat to coarse Stillwater anglers is developers !

mC HULL 10,440 Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 UK RECOGNIZES LOBSTERS, OCTOPUSES, AND CRABS AS SENTIENT BEINGS. WILL NO LONGER BOIL THEM ALIVE. A new government report finds that lobster, octopuses, and crabs all experience pain, prompting the UK to change its welfare laws around these animals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fairness to angling, they screwed their loaf and got massively in front of the antis on the welfare side of stuff as well before they could even bring the issue up……respect for quarry is a big thing.

At the moment your right Wilf, but when the shooting , starting with grouse and driven game then on to recreational shooting and stalking , has been stopped , the natural progression will be angling .Using the successful divide and conquer technique , first it will be the perceived rich end , game fishing , that will start the ball rolling , after that it’s sea and course ..thankfully I’ll be long gone but anyone that thinks the anti brigade will stop once shooting has been abolished is only kidding themselves .. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I guess you have heard of peeler crabs Wilf a very big bait for sea anglers. When I was keen I had 500 crab pots for peeling shore crab just bits of gutter ridge tiles stuck in the mud a 45%. What if they then ban all live baits no worm, no maggots, no sand eels. They keep chipping at the edges till it's all gone same as hunting with dogs no packs then no dogs taking any game.

Cheers Arry This is the thing I dig clams on a holiday beach because that is where they are. Only matter of time before before they stop bait collecting on that beach and then else where.
