fenboy Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Sorry if you thought I was having a dig , that was not intended , you gave the answer I expected . The situation with bass is farcical at the moment IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted July 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Sorry if you thought I was having a dig , that was not intended , you gave the answer I expected . The situation with bass is farcical at the moment IMO What is difficult is what to do when you are bass fishing, I have no problem just taking one, you get three or four meals from a good one and found they never froze well. but do you keep the first on if it is a couple of pounds or do you put it back and hope for a bigger one, after killing mine I caught another which I thought was going to be better, (it wasn't) but you could, if not morally wrong to put the dead fish over the side and take the larger one home. and dont get me started on the commercial boys.....

Yellow Bear Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 The sad thing is that as lads when you caught bass you had to eat it yourself as you could not give it away (virtually nobody wanted it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nice fish , I thought you could legally only take one though ? well I didn't take the photograph on my own.............. :lol: . Very nice fish indeed and I agree the situation with the limit on bass at the moment is farcical . That sea looks very comfortable, short sleeves, sunny, blue skies and you are fishing......................life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
