p&DSAA XMAS COMPETITION RESULTS & PICS
Xmas comp results
Mixed weather & an early start, (for some)...... We had 24 angler's sign on & fish our Xmas Competition. (number's down on previous years....maybe the weather put a few of you off??!!!), With Flounder being most people's target fish.
This competition is free to enter, with an optional pool. Some absolutely cracking prizes on offer for the top 10 fish & a brilliant evening afterwards at the Golden Lion, with a raffle, food, drinks & a chance to relax after a day's fishing & indulge in some light hearted banter & fishing talk!

Brian, Spud & Duncan......Spud's so good, he can catch 'em with his eye's closed!!!
All but one of the fish weighed managed to be returned alive, which is good to see. The winning fish went to Martin Rickard, at just a touch under 2lb. A good laugh had by all at the weigh in, with plenty of banter & a whole year's worth of bragging rights, now obtained, (& rightly so!) for Martin. Sausage rolls, 'xmas' sausage rolls, roast chicken & potatoes were gratefully recieved & then uncerimoniously devoured! Ron & Spud would have stood a better chance of winning, if the sausage rolls were actually a competition!
Well done to all that entered, especially those that returned fish to the scales. Duncan Randoll, deserves some praise for supplying a bucket & aerator for some of the angler's who had none. Thank you Dinky.
Congratulations to Martin Rickard, 2015's 'King' of the Camel! (pictured here, with the Camel Cup & his crown!)

Catch & Release Bass Angling Threatened
Many of you have already sent bass emails to the EU Fisheries Ministers and officials in the last month – well, we need you do it again and this time it is super-urgent since we need to get our voices heard before the EU Council of Ministers Fishing Opportunities meeting on 14 and 15 December.
In short, on Friday the EU Commission proposed that Catch & Release bass fishing should be included in the 6-month moratorium and we have to tell them this is not acceptable. Here is a suggested email, but please feel free to say whatever you wish.
Cut and paste the following addresses into the “To” line of your email.
[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected];
“Dear Fisheries Ministers, Members of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee and Fisheries Officials
I have previously written to you asking that you implement a number of measures, including cutting bass landings to 541 tonnes in 2016 and allocating bass fishing opportunities in accordance with Article 17 of the Common Fisheries, based on environmental and socio-economic criteria.
I am dismayed to hear that the European Commission has just issued amended draft regulations that would stop the most sustainable form of bass fishing: recreational catch & release, in the first half of 2016. This will bankrupt many bass guides and charter boats that rely entirely or substantially on catch & release bass fishing. Additionally, many small coastal villages will be hit by losing valuable associated tourist income: hotels, pubs, restaurants and tackle shops.
Yet at the same time, commercial vessels will be able to land and sell bass up to 1% of their entire catch, which for large vessels could mean very significant amounts of bass. This is simply not equitable.
Please give effect to Article 17 now. Exercise positive discrimination in favour of the most sustainable forms of bass fishing: catch & release; recreational angling; commercial rod & line; and commercial hand lines.
Yours sincerely,
[Insert Name]”

four seasons continues to be a success
40 anglers signed on for the 4th & final 'FOUR SEASONS' interclub competition. Testing conditions, probably the worst we've faced, provided a good return of fish. Huss, Whiting, Flounder, Conger, Cod, Dab & Dogfish were returned to the scales.
Well done to anyone that fished & especially to those who managed to bring fish back for the weigh in.
Full results found here.
Paul Hawken took 1st place on the night, with a combined % of 231.50% for his Whiting & Dogfish. This added 7 points to the 11 he had already accrued through the year, proving to be the most consistent individual & with a total of 18 points, Paul was crowned as the top angler.
With Chris Phillips 3rd, (155.76%) & Pete Wilkins 7th, (111.78%).....Grenville took their overall percentage to 915.34% & thus were ultimately the top club over the 4 legs, by some distance.
It was P&DSAA's turn to host the weigh in, yet again a brilliant social affair, with good banter & laughs aplenty. Massive appreciation to Martin, Sarah & staff at the Golden Lion for providing the venue, food & a great night.
A fantastic series of competitions & a special thank you to Steve, Nigel, Ron & Geordie for organising them.
Congratulations to Paul Hawken & Grenville SAC, winners of the single angler category & the overall club percentage for the entire competition. A small presentation to be held at the first weigh in of next year. Well done to everyone!!! Looking forward to next year.

This series of competitions has been a great success this year & great credit is due to P&DSAA's Steve Rodding & his respective counterparts, at the other 3 participating clubs. Thank you Steve!!!
Tintagel hosted the first leg with Ian & Felicity at The Wooton's Arms providing refreshments & proving more than hospitable! With a strong showing from Grenville SAC, taking 1st, 2nd & 3rd. A very well supported event & thoroughly enjoyable evening had by all.
The second leg was hosted by St Columb SAC & Dick Wills at The Silver Ball, with fishing again proving pretty hard going. Even so, the social aspect of the competition prevailed & again, a brilliant night on the Sunday.
The third leg weigh in was at Grenville & the St Dennis Working Mens Club, as with all of these competitions....A very good laugh had on the Sunday, with thanks to all at Grenville SAC & a special thank you to Margeret at Lowen Chy Angling for her donation for the pasties!
This time it's our turn!!! The final leg's weigh in is being hosted by Martin & Sarah at The Golden Lion.
With an average turn out of about 40 anglers, so far for each competition, it would be great to see a few more of our members participating. Especially as it's to reach 2015's conclusion on 'home turf'.

save our seabass website
A site you may want to have a look at http://www.saveourseabass.org/
LETTER FROM MALCOLM GILBERT, A NEW WEBSITE & THANKS FROM THE COMMISIONER TO DAVID CURTIS & RECREATIONAL SEA ANGLERS IN THE EU FOR THEIR OPINIONS ON BASS CONSERVATION.
With the help of BASS and in particular BASS member David Curtis, a linked website has been developed at: www.saveourseabass.org
David is a relative newcomer to the fight to get a better deal for the bass resource and recreational sea anglers but he has immersed himself into the complexities with incredible energy. He is a smart guy and has already gained the respect of Defra and the EU Commission staff.
Below, please find an email from the Commissioner in Brussels thanking David and all recreational sea anglers across the EU who have taken the trouble to make their views about bass known.
I see this as a serious step in the right direction towards achieving recognition of the validity and value of recreational sea angling. I know we still have an enormous distance to go before our engagement is viewed by politicians in a similar light to that of commercial fishing but it is real progress.
The Angling Trust have also allocated much of their limited resources (staff time and money) towards supporting BASS and the Save Our Bass campaign.
As some of you know, I have attended meetings in both Brussels and Nantes in France this year to guide RSA representation to EU Member State’s National Ministries and to the Commission. It is both time consuming and horrendously expensive. RSA representation [angler’s time] is almost exclusively voluntary but transport, food and accommodation all have to be paid for. Please consider joining those organizations trying to fight on your behalf for a better deal and above all, a better angling experience for the next generation of sea anglers. Take it from me, as regards representation from sea angling, there is no such thing as ‘Jobs for the boys’. It is committed individuals who take the time, their own time, to research the issues, discuss with others all the complexities and then formulate presentation of their arguments to decision makers.
RSA doesn’t take part in the process of formulating fisheries management measures from a level playing field. We come from a background of being ignored and dismissed. That is now beginning to change. Does this mean that we get what we want? No way! The most we can hope for is to influence the decision making process. There have been and there will be more disappointments. But we have made a difference! I’ll go as far as to say that the 42 cm (pound and three quarter bass) minimum conservation reference size may well have only been 40 cm IF we hadn’t made a compelling case for it to be 42cm.
Even Paul Trebilcock, CEO of the Cornish Fish Producers Organisation in Newlyn blamed recreational sea anglers for the 42 cm size limit! As far as I’m concerned, that is a hell of a compliment!
There is still much to do so no resting on our laurels yet.
Malcolm GilbertPlease find attached document Ares(2015) 3910766 - 22/09/2015 regarding "Save our seabass website" sent by Mr Friess
Best regards
Dear David,
We would like to thank you and your fellow recreational anglers for the many e-mails the Commission has received over the past weeks regarding sea bass management. We would be grateful if you could post our reply to these many e-mails on your facebook page "savethespawningSeabass".
We take the many mails we received as a token of the active support and the engagement of the recreational angler's community towards helping sea bass to rebuild to healthy levels. We are especially pleased that so many of the mails are proposing concrete management measures for sea bass for 2016. It is heartening to see that so many citizens take an active interest to save the sea bass stock from collapsing.
My team in the Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries are currently looking at different measures to propose for 2016 that are based on best available science, on a broad stakeholder involvement and long-term management.
The scientific advice by the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) indeed advises us to reduce landings to 541 tonnes, because of the dire situation of sea bass. We are taking this advice very seriously.
The Commission is therefore currently consulting the Advisory Committees, comprising commercial fishermen, NGOs and other stakeholders and we are also consulting with Member States on the best possible measures to take for 2016. I would like to reassure you that we are evaluating all information carefully in order to thoroughly prepare our proposals for the management of sea bass for 2016. In November we will be able to update you via this facebook page on the concrete measures the Commission is proposing to take.
I would like to thank all recreational anglers for having written to us on sea bass and I would like to reaffirm that in developing the proposals for 2016 regarding sea bass, our intention is to ensure that all those who benefit from this resource, be it recreational anglers or commercial fishermen contribute proportionally to the protection and management of this stock.
Yours sincerely,
Bernhard FRIESS Director

bass nursery area's ifca
Those who attended the open meeting last week at Kingsley Village to discuss Bass Nursery Areas, heard from IFCA officers that the IFCA bylaw working group recommendations in respect of inshore & estuary netting bylaws are to be placed before the full committee on the 18th September. Never has there been a more important time for recreational sea anglers and other stakeholders such as commercial hook and line fishermen, tackle dealers, charter boat operators, angling guides, bait suppliers, etc. to lobby their IFCA members, especially councillor members, to make their opinions clear about removing nets from estuaries and close to shore waters. Details of the meeting to be held on September 18th can be found at: https://democracy.cornwall.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=801&MId=6408&Ver=4 Details of IFCA Committee members can be found at: http://www.cornwall-ifca.gov.uk/cornwall-ifca-committee#members and contact details for the members can be found at: https://democracy.cornwall.gov.uk/mgCommitteeMailingList.aspx?ID=801 Just to be clear; any alterations to existing Bass Nursery Area legislation will almost certainly be implemented nationally by DEFRA and at the earliest, not until well into next year after a full public consultation. The local IFCA bylaw regulations are a separate issue and it is these bylaw proposals that will be discussed and possibly result in firm proposals on September 18th. The amount and volume of complaints I hear from sea anglers about netting is constant. However, whinging amongst ourselves wont address the situation or produce solutions. If you are serious about getting restrictions on gill netting in estuaries and in shallow close to shore waters, NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Write to members of the IFCA with your views. Let them know your opinions. If you visit a tackle shop over coming weeks, make sure you tell the dealers that this is their opportunity to have their say. Their livelihoods depend on anglers having accessible waters with abundant fish AND netting in estuaries and along our beaches is threatening their businesses. Friday 18th September, is a crucial day; if you are able to attend the meeting [ you can only watch as the public are not allowed to say anything] just the presence of sea anglers makes an impact of what members say and how members say it. I do understand of course that Friday, as a week day, is a working day for the majority of sea anglers.

bass nursery review public meeting
Bass Nursery Area review.
Public Meeting - 10 August 2015, Kingsley Village 7-9 pm.
Bass Nursery Areas were made under a national Statutory Instrument The Bass (Specified Areas) (Prohibition of Fishing) Order 1990. This piece of legislation currently falls under the remit of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). On 8 July 2015, Defra contacted all ten of the IFCAs in England with a “call for evidence”. This is the first stage in their review of Bass Nursery Area Legislation. Cornwall IFCA has only been managing rivers and estuaries, where all six of our Bass Nursery Areas are, since 2011. We are asking for you to help us in compiling a response to Defra’s questions. Defra has asked that all IFCAs respond by 22 August 2015.
Public Meeting, 10 August 2015, Kingsley Village, 7-9pm.
Cornwall IFCA are seeking your experience and views on Bass Nursery Areas in Cornwall.
In Cornwall there are six Bass Nursery Areas, in these areas bass are provided extra protection through restrictions on fishing at certain times of the year.
Bass Nursery Areas are created under national legislation and this is the responsibility of Defra, the Department for the Environment Fisheries and Rural Affairs. Defra has announced that it is reviewing Bass Nursery Area legislation and has asked Cornwall IFCA to supply information and evidence.
We need your help in compiling our response. Cornwall IFCA has already circulated a questionnaire to angling clubs, fishing associations, as well as business and boat owners who may be affected by any change to legislation. The meeting on the 10 August is an opportunity for individuals who are not associated with clubs or organisations to have an opportunity to express their views and to present any evidence of information they may hold. This may come in the form of personal experience, catch records or historic data.
The meeting is open to all

lobster hatchery proposal
Planning application for Stepper Quarry at the mouth of the Camel estuary.
Some people may not have seen the planning application in the Cornish Guardian to build a 14 x 22 metre building for the National Lobster Hatchery in the quarry on the headland.
STEPPER POINT
The headland rises to 242 feet (74 m) at its highest point. The land is used for farming and the remains of several defunct stone quarries can be seen.
The coast to the east of Stepper Point is on the estuary of the River Camel. This side of the headland boasts the sandhills of Tregirls beach and St George's cove (which is easily accessed from the coast path). A little further north, Harbour Cove and Hawker's Cove (where the Padstow lifeboat was stationed until 1967) are connected at low water by an extensive sandy beach which forms part of a sandbank at the mouth of the estuary known as Doom Bar.
To the south-west of the headland, the coastal scenery is more rugged with cliffs rising above a rocky foreshore. A mile south of Stepper point is another small headland called Gunver Head and a further mile on is the small sandy beach at Trevone.
Due to its important geological features Stepper Point was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1990
Comments on the application, (both for & against), can be viewed here.
As with all things......there are two sides to every argument.......
STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL LOBSTER HATCHERY
We would like to put the record straight about the National Lobster Hatchery’s planning application at stepper point.
1 There is not going to be a visitor centre at stepper point, this will remain in Padstow. The Stepper point facility will just be a hatchery for lobster stocking and will consist of a small, single storey 13mx21m building.
2 The hatchery will be in the old quarry, not on the headland itself.
3 The hatchery will not be visible, it will be hidden behind the huge rock at the end of the quarry and further hidden behind earth bunds. A great deal of care has been taken to ensure that views will not be damaged by the development and a Landscape and visual impact assessment is available on the planning portal.
4 Access will be by the existing track, which was built for lorry’s removing stone from the quarry. Other than clearing some vegetation and a bit of maintenance there is no need to alter this track. Staff movements will be minimal (2 vehicles a day) and parking will be hidden behind the earth bund (please see the design and access statement on the planning portal).
5 The hatchery will be at the opposite end of the quarry to the wetland and will not destroy it. An eco-roof will ensure that there will be no net loss of habitat. An ecological appraisal was undertaken on the site by Cornwall Environmental Consultants and is available through the planning portal.
6 We have undertaken a detailed examination of other potential sites and this is the only economically and technically viable site available locally. It is worth pointing out that the AONB covers most of the local coastline and that this development is prompted by poor water quality within the estuary. The rationale for site selection is available through the planning portal.
7 We do not intend to fence the facility in and access for anglers and or walkers will not be affected by the application.
8 We will have to work extremely hard over the next few years to raise the funds for this project. As well as enabling us to expand our lobster production for the fishing communities of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, it will create new jobs for Padstow and help to diversify the range of employment opportunities available to local residents.
If you wish us to explain details, then please come along to the open evening on Wednesday 5th August at the hatchery in Padstow.

BASS RULE'S CHANGE!
Bass size limit raised to 42cm from Sept. 1st 2015
Remember also there is already a 3 bass bag limit!!!
EU raises minimum size of northern sea bass
(02/07/2015) The EU has today taken another step to protect sea bass stocks in Europe. The 28 EU member states agreed to the Commission's proposal to increase the minimum size for northern sea bass from 36 to 42 cm.
The new rule applies to both commercial and recreational fishermen. This will further improve the protection of this valuable stock and give it more chances to reproduce young fish before it is caught. The Commission will now proceed with the adoption of the agreed measures.
The Commission had also proposed to increase the minimum size for the two southern stocks of sea bass in Iberian waters and the Bay of Biscay. Member states however pointed to the less robust data available on these stocks.
The Commission will therefore ask for renewed scientific advice on the southern stocks, which will feed into new proposals on sea bass from 2016 onwards.
Sea bass is a high value, iconic species for recreational and commercial fishermen alike. But stocks in the EU are seriously under threat. Scientists agree that catches of this species must be drastically reduced, as a result of greater fishing pressure and lower reproduction.
Today's decision is the latest step in a package of measures the Commission has proposed for 2015 to halt the decline of this stock and prepare the way forward for further management measures in 2016
