bass sizes

[silverfish]

What is the legal size limit on bass.Is it 36cm or 41cm

[bassbandit]

36cm the poxy goverment (shaw) has overturned the increase, which proves they dont give a monkeys **** about fish stocks etc. The commercials are free to continue plundering until there are no fish left. The next step will be sea fishing licences but what for ther wont be any fish left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. RANT JUST BEGINNING

QUICK NOTE CORNWALL IS 37.5CM.

most matches are 41cm thats what our club uses

[nimue]

At Teignmouth the limit is 38cm but the harbour master and fisheries enforcement boat ask you politely to put back anything under 41cm as the local club all respect that. The fisheries boat board you to tell you and it is a little intimidating! Especially as it is faster than mine!!
To be honest if you want to feed a few people you need a fish of 3-4lbs anyway. The little ones are too much head and bone so give them a chance.

Go get 'em!!!!

wrong nimue. min size on the teign is 36cm most of us who fish it regularly respect that and tend to only keep the larger sizes, BUT there are a lot who dont give a toss and will keep anything. Local fisheries very rarely get out of bed and there is no harbour master at the moment. There is loads of ilegal keeping of bass just take a look in the local fish mongers.

Don't blame the European boats,.. blame the arseholes in our Government who allow them to rape our waters year after year .. I know this means the likelyhood of honest fisherman fiddling catches is on the increase but so are the number of boats going out of commission ..

Whats the score with your quota then fella ?
