Rachel Jay ·
1/the most of the fish were sent to France !
2 / they were caught where normally there is herring
3/ do ye honestly think that we would shot back a second time on something we caught by accident !
It's a freak tow
Apparently in two hauls my eye???
It's on AIS for all to see that we had one tow

Regarding the mullet all I can say it was a mistake!
How many times is a Bass hooked in the closed season to anglers ?
Regards
We can only take the skippers word that it was an "mistake"

He did not break any laws in catching or landing the mullet.
