the facts on the bass ban

#1 Post by iona »

are you allowed to fish for them but must return them?
not quite sure on that as i would imagine they will still be caught if fishing for flounders etc etc.

or

is it a total ban on fishing for them.

confused :? :?
why does yer last cast always take an hour?

total ban on fishing for them.. not to be targeted, i'm sure the odd one gets caught as a by-catch, but must be immediately returned,

severe consequences if found in possession of a bass during this time from what i hear... (can anyone clarify on this)
