Thread: Eugenie Sage wants to Ban Whitebaiting

possibly the most EFFECTIVE way to shorten a season to give more a chance to get past and breed (same goes for salmon,and in past has been hinted for game birds) is to keep season length the same but limit the days you can take...eg no take on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday.....now that would really piss off folk who are into it full time/commercially but it has three major advantages. #1 the little guy can still have a 4 day outing #2 the spread of successful breeders is spread out over the whole season(so that net right across the river doesnt stop say a weeks worth in middle of big run) #3 this is real winner...it makes it piece of piss to police ANYONE fishing on those 3 days will be lynched by others who stick to rules ,if the powers that be dont get to them first.
