It's the same here. Amazing how things pick up when the commercials have stricter restrictions on their catches. A local river (Crouch) had trawling banned recently. This year it had it's first major run of smoothhounds for many years, plenty of decent sized bass throughout the summer and more roker than you can shake a stick at. Lets hope the government strike the right balance next year and stocks bounce back all over the country.
