Re: Mystery fish

I've seen that fish unless there's more than one like it. It seemed to me to look like an old fish with scar damage.
Good size fish though that would have filled a few tins lol

Re: Declining junior angling

I mentioned this in the questionaire a couple of years ago. Give juniors free membership as long as they were fishing with an adult member. It has a chance of increasing the adult membership if they can take their kids along for free.

Re: Declining junior membership

I'm not speaking of the BAA, as I have little knowledge of what the BAA does for kids fishing, but many clubs I know of just haven't got the volunteers interested in bringing kids into fishing. For example, another qualified volunteer coach I know of, approached a club local to him to start a junior section. The basic reaction from the committee was "go on then get on with it" with no offer of help or support
It needs a program of fun regular events (coaching, competitions, etc), especially through the warmer months to keep the kids fishing, and you can't achieve that with just one or two volunteers.

I suggested in your survey a year or so ago to offer free junior fishing, as long as they were fishing with an Adult Member
This gives a parent/guardian a chance to take their kids fishing without extra costs, without the hassle of pre-booking a day ticket, and at the same time, may attract more adult members to the BAA
