South Coast Cogden, I would stay well clear!

I’m happy to send a few leads into the water. Bit rusty so my timing could be a bit off and end up hitting random objects

Swines. There should be a rule for no pots/nets within, say, 300 metres of the shoreline all around the UK.
There were pots or something set to catch the Wrasse for the Scottish Salmon farms about 50 metres off my favourite Pier mark here.
Not been down there for 6 months, so don't know if they are still there.

wrasse traps on mount batten have been gone since christmas. small pollock and some gar around on outside.

Thanks Eves.

I have seen this twonk dropping pots and nets.
He has been politely asked to do it a little further out...
I think the reason he puts them so close is because hes worried about having his gear trawled by other boats.
But its gotta stop.
I think legally that we can pull this gear up the beach as long as we do not destroy it or remove it.
Simply get one end and drag it up and leave it above the high water mark.

Think this is the same skipper/boat....

They probably make that in a week or less, no deterrent. Stop them fishing for a month or more.

As expected there are hundreds of regulations about netting covering pages. I had a quick look and it looks like Cogden is within the Lyme Bay Net Restriction Area which I think covers up to a mile out. However then there are exemptions with permits etc etc and its not clear if he was netting. There's a good chance he was as I couldn't see him dropping pots. Whatever he was doing he finished right infront of squid and dropped a buoy

Me and mate fished west bexington on Monday, no bites or fish all day, found out this boat was responsible. £50 fuel £50 bait. £15 parking not worth it

The fine should have been 10x that amount and if caught again same fine. And lose boat

We’ve got a 10 hr comp up bexington Saturday was really looking forward to it I’m not now

 

[flappy]

Someone should tell the authorities about this.

Stay at home mate. Doubt it will be worth the effort. See if they can move it further east?
