Thought you guys might like to see this that is currently causing a lot of controversy on the Isle of Man. Apparently 8 retired commercial fishermen do this for some pocket money & it's legal. The youngest is 69 years old the oldest in his 80's. I have it on good authority 270 boxes of mullet were netted over a couple of days off the beach. 110 boxes went to Fleetwood fish market for human consumption, 160 boxes were sold for lobster & crab pot bait. The mullet were all in the 2.5lb to 5lb range.
Local anglers are up in arms about it.
