Has anybody heard about the proposed legislation for an exclusion of commercial fishing - 1 mile from shore........??? Is there any truth in this rumor?

Well looks like a step in the right direction, it would have a massive impact around my neck of the woods as it would remove ALOT of gill nets.
If it happens, I just hope they enforce better than they enforce the bass protection zones.

Have looked around a bit and it actually looks like it's been suggested regularly from as far back as 2005, or before. BASS mention it in their management plan (gill nets at least), and its listed at the moment on the BNP website (the first place I came to when looking for (uk commercial inshore fishing "1 mile") on google).
This is interesting too (although a little more general and off-topic): http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cac ... x0Plicz3wA
"Bass fishing is controversial. Commercial fishermen accuse sport fishermen of taking their
catches.".... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....... whatever! I know this is a couple of years old but if we can widely promote C&R, perhaps a 2 fish limit will eventually be introduced as law - as in Ireland. The above argument will also dissappear.

Trouble is it might push more commercials into targeting them on there offshore breeding grounds where theres a lot more damage done.
You can see the inshore commercials so there easy to moan about.Why o why dont people put as many moans into the mass slaughter that goes on every Jan,Feb,March by the offshore trawlers.If you push more commercials outside the 1 mile they might find where the big concentrations are,then it wont matter if theres a 1 mile ban coz there won't be any fish to come in.

I could imagine wat fishing would be like if this golden mile restriction was imposed.I remember this being brought up 1 or 2 years ago. have recently heard from a good friend of mine who vists alderney 2 or 3 times a year to lure fish for bass, he has just come back from a week stay and had 1 lure caught bass between 3 people . Apparently commercial netsmen have festooned the waters around the island within casting range and are taking up to 500 kilos a day many in the 7 to 10 llb bracket .How disturbing is that!.

Now you might understand why it's so hard down here.heath birchenough said:
People look at Channel Islands and reckon its festooned with Bass.
It is festooned with nets, selfishness and back pocket politicians.
