Topic: San Josie 3 - French Boats Landing Fish At Whitby (Read 2300 times)

Baramundi Bob · « **on:** May 15, 2008, 10:24:02 PM »

The French trawlers hit town tonight. This one allegedly landed 25 tonne of mixed fish - Whiting, Haddock and Cod. With a whiting ban now in place on UK vessels I understand there was some rather unhappy skippers about.

The second picture puts some perspective on the size of the boat with the average sized Whitby trawler in the background.

I wonder if there is a "Code Of Conduct" for these boys ?

its a xxxxing disgrace this gov is the shxxs gordon brown and the likes want a cactus up there arsxx for this

, our trawler men should have 1st refusal of landing fish,if we cant produce the fish then yes get some one else(if things are tight and supply is low) the lads on our fleets are more than capable if given the chance

its not just the fishing what they have fxxxed up like is it ? their just a pack of theiving lying bxxxxxxs
now thats my say off to work now to pay for the immigrants allowances and houses

If it makes ME this angry

goodness knows how the local lads feel about the whole thing. I could rant on for ages about the whole thing but look at the effort put into the 10p tax thing and even that ended up been a half measure.

They are fishing off Whitby so they land at Whitby, the council get the port landing fees so they will be happy and make no complaints. There has been a large French Fleet off our coast for 2 years now. Because they operate just out of site most people don't even know they are there, but because the average angler sees a small boat chugging along the coast with a couple of gill nets then those boys get the blaim for any perceived lack of fish, I've always tried to get across to people that real problems go unseen by most. Like I mentioned in the first post on this topic - The wonderful angling representatives who dream up things like bag limits for sea anglers and "codes of conduct" for tope anglers - Have they got a code of conduct for the 80 foot trawlers operating just out of view ? The amount of fish this guy took yesterday and every other day he fishes out there is obscene - were talking big trucks filled from front to back.

Heared this morning that they landed 3 ton of Mackral aswell which no Whitby boat can""" really rubbing the Whitby lads noses in it.
If it had been a British boat in a French port off loading it would not happen there would have been a blockad of the port....

A message to the French fishing fleet

Interesting discussion on the situation of no quota for the UK boats. A person I havent always seen eye to eye with is Wurzel a commercial fishermen from the south of the country, but over a few years I have started to notice that a lot of what he was saying back then has started to make sense. His final words on the subject should ring alarm bells for any UK sea angler - I think he may be right

This fits in nicely with DEFRA's vision and the marine bill, I've always said they work to a set agenda, they know that in a few years the UK fleet will require very little management, they know there will be restrictions on inshore netting and destructive methods like trawling because there will be a large reduction in the boats fishing inshore, they assume this will lead to more and bigger fish, they know that MPA's are coming forced in by the environmentals and are assuming this will also help provide more and bigger fish, they also know that they will have very little else to do other than manage anglers who because of the reduction in inshore commercial fleet will be considered the main threat to inshore fish stocks.

FINALLY evidence that our hard working fishermen are NOT totally to blame for declining stocks.Perhaps more people will be a little more sympathetic to our own fishermen and women now evidence is shown openly that the goverment of this country does not have control of its own territory.This is just totally wrong and would not be allowed to happen anywhere else in the world.
And all this during a "Ban" on UK landings.
