National Federation Of Sea Anglers - Yorkshire Division

I attended the NFSA Regional meeting tonight at the anglers social club in Scarborough. The turn out was pretty decent (better than I expected I must say). With no exact agenda other than looking at the potential for reforming a regional division of NFSA I felt things went ok. It was good to see the 2 reps from NFSA travel over and put the view point of the NFSA across on the Licence and Bag Limits issues.

Re : Licence - The NFSA position is to oppose the principle until significant improvements in the sea angling experience are recognised.

Re : Bag Limits - The NFSA will therefore support the concept of bag limits where it is part of a balanced campaign to conserve or improve a specific fish stock or stocks. For the avoidance of doubt we will oppose such proposals where controls are placed solely on anglers whilst other users have free access to fish stocks important to sea anglers.

Communication between the NFSA and anglers in the region was raised as an issue and the gents at the table said they hoped to improve that in the future.
