Bradshawe gets a hard time from some Bass anglers - But the fishing reps appear very silent.

Yesterdays Bass management plan announcement appears to have angered many bass anglers. Ive read through some of the fishing forums and to say bass anglers are a little peeved is an understatment to say the least. Ben Bradshawe the fisheries minister appears to be taking a right hammering for his contraversial decision to increase bass minimim size limits to only 40cm as the bass anglers wanted it raising to 45cm - a size at which most bass will have had the opportuinty to have spawned at least once.
For some reason the bodies who represent anglers have remained silent. There appears to be no condemnation of the minister from groups like NFSA. Hopefully they will express their displeasure soon.
