Can Hobbie Netters Still Use Gill Nets For Other Species Since Fishing For Bass Is Banned Now

[sylernetterman 0]

i am just wondering what the law is on recreational gill netting now since they have banned recreational bass fishing

Not sure of new legislation but from march this year you were only allowed to land three bass every day ....

I was in sunderland yesterday,under the town bridge,theres been an otter sighted there in daylight recently on several occassions,quite a few boats moored up,i was chatting to a couple of lads,i am sure they said a private boat is allowed 100 yards of net and 10 pots?Not many bass up there though.

i just stake my net out along the mudflats then wait for the tide to come in i dont use a boat.

You can still fish for them, but it has to be catch and release, so if you are mainly targeting other species I see no problem, just if you get a bass as a by catch it is supposed to go back !

the limit is set at one fish mate after june . catch and release up to then. its a load of shit. the commercial gill netters can still take 1300 kg per month each all year so you will be chucking them back for them to catch.
