NatureBoy Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Interesting that tuna and the prospect of tag and release tuna fishing off our shores is mentioned in this weeks Angling Times. Only info/pics i could find of tuna caught off Norfolk/Suffolk coast was 2 smaller ones (look about 10/15lb and dead) caught by inshore herring boat? Interesting that such different year classes are showing in our waters now tho. Also! Surprisingly In Keith Arthur's colum in AT is a pic of Tony Juniper ( head of NE) with a cracking 2lb 1oz roach he caught amongst others fishing with Keith and the Angling trust from the famous river test.

Raja Clavata Posted November 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's getting into roach fishing time of year now, I have a ticket on a local syndicate which but for a slightly deformed mouth would be the current UK record specimen, I should get around to targeting them one of these days.

Why would a deformed mouth stop it from being the record? AE?? If you need any practical help on the roach front???😉3's from running and stillwater.

scolopax Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 I’m on a rig offshore Norway, out of Kristiansund. During the summer they accidentally caught a 220kg bluefin tuna. It got caught up inside the ROV cage. They ate tuna steaks for weeks. They travel quite a long way up the North Sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange you should say that but I saw that programme for the first time yesterday, 17-20 dollars a pound (iirc) and getting 000's of dollars a trip! I was a bit shocked at how there was lines everywhere along with gaffs, harpoons and tailer ropes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I presume that there is a quality and provenance thing with the way they assess the flesh with colour, fat and all the other tests that they do. However am I right that the Japanese have strict rules on how the fish is killed for their market, ike jima iirc or are these fish for American domestic markets?

They all go to Japan from what I have gathered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
