What did it used to be then?

Never caught a Bass, so never needed to know.

A few years ago it was 1 a day and only for a few middle months. 

Before that no limit and that's why there is now a limit

I read this and told my mate about it. He'd never heard of it. Is it different in different parts of the country?

Ever so slightly, depending on regions and local ifca. It's been in since 2016/2017 though

West Wales. The regulations here are the same as the first post. I was talking on the phone to a mate who lives in the South East about it and he had never heard of it even though he loves his sea fishing.

If you don't go on certain  social media sites mate you probably wouldn't see. I follow a few different ifcas because if I go a mile west of my house its different laws to the ones where I live.

On our local beach there is a poster on a post but its out the way so no body see's it. In all honestly most people just ignore the rules anyway. With bass you might hit on them one day and sod all for weeks so its case of making hay while the sun shines. Shore anglers have pretty much zero affect on any fish populations.

Some people like to release them and I see plenty of good fish going back fair play and others don't
