Old Boggy Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) Oh, that takes me back to when I used to fish off Ramsgate and Herne Bay in my younger days. Plenty of fish around then. We didn`t used to get the run of cod until September but thornbacks all during the summer. Also in the summer over the Pan Sands off Herne Bay, we used to watch for the gulls working the whitebait driven to the surface by school bass. This was when we motored uptide and drifted through the bass with a light spinning rod which was brilliant sport. If I recall the size then was 14 inches and above. Not sure what size and numbers are allowed these days for the amateur angler. Someone no doubt will enlighten me without me asking Mr.Google. Thanks for sharing Rim Fire and reminding me of my younger fishing days afloat which must have been 50 odd years ago. Photo of one of our catches and also my mate Ted (with pipe) and me when I had hair. That was our old ships open lifeboat that we bought from the ferry company and converted to a fishing boat. Larch on oak clinker built. Happy days. Note home made rods and centrepin reels. OB Edited April 30, 2023 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a limit on numbers that can be taken by rod and line? At one stage not so long ago it was two, which made an absolute mockery of bass taken by commercial fishing.

OB Still 2 fish per day but they change it couple of years ago could only take 1 per day as you say bit of a joke the recreational anglers always have to pay a bigger price they need someone to point the finger at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why do restaurants refer to bass as `Sea Bass`? That does annoy me, they are bass. We don`t refer to cod as sea cod or sea plaice. I can understand sea bream but not bloody bass. Rant over.
