Birmingham Anglers Association

NO night fishing because of landowners total non sense .
the baa for many years had the lease for Walcott lakes since the 1960s , an guess what ? no night fishing .
is it a matter of coincidence then the baa transferred there exsisting lease to a carp syndicate last few years , an hey presto guess what they have night fishing instantly !!
so if it was against the landowners wishes towards night fishing they would not have allowed carp syndicate night fishing , under the baa s exsisting lease , this is how I was told it .
furthermore I think the baa is one of the few clubs in the country , that you pay a full membership , then are asked to pay £10 extra a night to nightfish . when the baa clearly do not pay any extra to landowners whether they night fish or not .
im sceptical that some baa waters can not be night fished any way , as lot them there is not a house in sight for miles , severn stoke as an example has public carpark with access to the severn way .
is it the baa that choose which waters can be night fished an not the landowner ?
and lastly if someone wants to fish only into dark ,for few hours only has pay 10 pound for extra 2 hours !!!
an works out extravagant if an angler night fishes twice week , that's a few thousand a year .
all the other major river angling clubs on trent ,dove and severn , charge between as little as £35 up to £85 year which includes full night fishing .
I urge the baa to consider all its members match an specimen an bring in a sensible priceing structure .,to accommodate all anglers .
lastly if night fishing was allowed , then each member is a baliff anyway an it would police its self an deter unwanted fish killers an stealers if members were night fishing .
