if your going to sling **** do it nicely without getting nasty and name calling

I have better things to do than troll threads....
But do have to point out..once again u put words into peoples mouth and/ or interpret what u like onto what u read...

Comms created the situation from the early 60s....policy continued the problem from the mid 90s not controlling the comms who then bent the rules to the extreme....and in recent times a hand full of criminal comms illegally adjust books fishing  which would be enough to exceed rec fisher takes

And u consider the citizens of this country have less right to the resource than big business.. at a point when rec fishers cant get daily quota on a regular basis... at best on very rare occasions and thats after Government change in regs only knocking rec fishers back?

If one takes a couple steps back, and considers the resource objectively, then as per legistation  rec fishing takes priory... take the time to read the 1st page of the legislation...
Now consider what would be a fair bag a rec fisher should be able to take home and achieve on a regular basis .. I suggest u actually put a number forward here.
Now consider the total  inshore resource...and if there is even enough left for ANY comms quota....

I didnt write the legislation but thats what the legislation basically say how quota should be shared out.

I am not inclined to take part in this kind of thread. But, even though I don't like the aggressive argumentative stuff - I think it should be retained in the Briny Bar - because, its very important, and better than the other extreme (do and say nothing),; and no-one has to look at it if they don't like it.

the problem has been the weather. Unable to get out.when one does get out throw backs only.we cannot keep bagging comms as they are working as per legislation.in most cases inshore comms are not the quota holder so go and get what is required by the holder.

some are, but also some are about getting the facts right in the first place,
ive learn't a hell of a lot since following and commenting on these treads.

one of the biggest things to remember is its not always the guy you see doing the damage,
its more likely he is just making a living and has to fish the way he is or go bust,

we live and learn and i for one know now way more about the system and a lot of that was due to Tagits very informative posts which should be framed and store for all newbies and anyone else which would like to know more about how this Quota management works...
but alas they have been totally lost deep inside some of these treads,

but not for me i saved the best of them and store them on my Comp...
