Hi does anyone know who owns the rights here, I've just been talking to a polish lad who is fishing there he has no license and he's fishing for carp.

Is it a club owned stretch ?

I walk down there 3 or 4 a week on the way to town and see the big mirrors quit often and there's always some Eastern Europeans fishing for them for the table, I've called the EA a few times but they don't seem to give a monkeys.

thanks guys - I usually use gofishing.co.uk and we talking about this and what to do about it.
Seems a shame to see that fat boy end up in the pot , was gonna pre-bait for him he goes from outside the wharf pub up to the basin regular.

When Iasked him if he was gonna eat or put back he said theres plenty in there - dont know if he had a license or not just asssumed he didnt.

I'm a member of the Yale.

We have a match on Sunday at the Vineyards.

I'll let Jack Britton know on Sunday regarding the poaching.

Cheers

Like I said I been watching this big mirror swim past the last couple of days and I seen him a few times from the wharf pub, he hides under the Jetty.
Be a real p*sser for him to get fried.
