Birmingham Anglers Association

You keep on about the volunteers who I have the utmost respect for, but not once do you seem to consider the protection and safety of the fish.

This was and still is, as I have already stated, the main reason I consider a lower positioning of fishing platforms to be of utmost concern.

I REPEAT WHAT I HAVE ALREADY SAID BEFORE. LIFTING A HEAVY BAG OF FISH STRAIGHT UP ABSOLUTELY DOES DAMAGE TO THE FISH AND MAYBE THE KEEPNET - PERIOD!

Any fool should know that this is exactly what happens and gives the anti-fishing brigade ammunition to their efforts to ban fishing.

We are not protecting our fish stocks to the best of our ability by having high-off-the-water fishing platforms.

This is my last post on this subject!
