NEWS FROM THE C.F.S.A.
*(EXTRACT FROM THE 'SHOCKLEADER' - Courtesy of C.F.S.A. Secretary & Treasurer - Ralph Elcox.)
Dear members and patrons,
Specimen Fish Committee Meeting.
This will be held on Friday 10th November at the St Dennis Working Mens Club and clubs may bring their scales
for testing against the County weights from 6pm onwards, with the meeting commencing at 7.30pm.
Proposals to be discussed at the meeting have been sent to all clubs.
Annual General Meeting.
This will be held on Monday 27th November at the St Dennis Working Men’s Club commencing at 7.30pm.
All clubs have been sent their nomination forms to propose their preferred candidate to serve on the CFSA Committee for 2018
plus the other proposals to be voted upon.
Mr Malcolm Gilbert, the present Conservation and Pollution Officer will not be standing fro office in 2018.
Malcolm will be sorely missed, having done some outstanding work for the Federation, but he and all members are disillusioned at the time scale to achieve the netting proposals to conserve fish stocks.
Would all members please strongly consider to be nominated for all the positions on the CFSA Committee!

After creating the site and running it for a number of years Peter Maddern has decided to stand down.
Surely there is some technically minded angler out there willing to take on this job.

Angling Trust Launches Campaign to "Help Save Our Wrasse"
The Angling Trust has launched a national campaign calling for an immediate closure of the live capture wrasse fishery supplying fish to the Scottish salmon farming industry and is urging all anglers and conservationists to get involved.
Live wrasse are now being transported from the South West of England to Scottish salmon farms where they are used as ‘cleaner’ fish, to eat the sea lice that infest caged salmon. Sea lice cause serious damage to both the farmed fish and to wild salmon and sea trout throughout the region.
The Angling Trust’s campaign to end the live wrasse fishery includes an online petition, an email system to lobby councillors and a poster to be displayed in fishing tackle shops......

ANGLERS SURVEY
Cornwall IFCA wants to improve its understanding of recreational sea angling in Cornwall.
We are asking people to help us to gather data on recreational angling in Cornwall and, most importantly, to help us understand what anglers feel are the key issues facing them and what we could do to deal with these issues.
Following on from a public meeting in winter 2016 we have created an online survey which we would greatly appreciate as many sea anglers as possible completing. The survey is anonymous and very quick to complete. This survey will be open from the 1 July to the 1 September 2017.
Please follow the link below to complete the survey.

This comp. will be held in 2017 on Sunday August 6th.
Any club can enter up to 2 teams of six anglers.
The meeting is at MacDonalds, Hayle at 9.30am and weigh in at the Bath Inn Penzance 7.30pm with free pasties.
Teams may weigh in up to six of any species eg 6 mackerel, 6 pollack, 6 thornbacks etc. BUT each angler may only weigh in 1 of each species but can weigh in any number of different fish.
All fish judged against CFSA 1 day weights. 2 rods/3 hooks in total
There will be scales at the weigh in for fish kept but anglers are encouraged to return most fish and just show a good clear photo next to a tape. Anglers may weigh their own fish-no witness needed- it is all based on trust.
If you wish to enter 1 or 2 teams please email [email protected]
On the day please have your team members names on a piece of paper.
£1 optional pool.
So far teams will be entering from Camborne, Mounts Bay and Redruth.
Be great to see some new teams entering and perhaps we could move the comp. around to other Cornish Clubs apart from Camborne and Mounts Bay in the future.

RUBBISH RANT!
A reminder to all member's - Litter & rubbish left at fishing marks is a danger to wildlife, a pollutant to the environment, antisocial, a sign of total ignorance & wholly unacceptable. When you are out fishing, you are not only an ambassador for Padstow & District Sea Angling Association, but also recreational angler's as a whole. If it goes with you to a mark....It goes home with you from a mark!!!
Although this is something that should be needless to say, unfortunately there has been a spate of debris, line, bait wrapper's, cans etc found & reported recently. From Port Isaac to Newquay Headland, Dennis Cove & most recently at Loe Bar.
There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behaviour & judging from recent 'outing' & 'naming & shaming' on social media platform's - It look's as if it will not be tolerated.....nor should it!
PICK UP YOUR RUBBISH!!!
I Hasten to add, (& glad to), that no Padstow Club member's have been implicated in the recent incident's of littering.

CASTING TUITION WITH MIKE BENFIELD - MARCH 4TH, 10 A.M.
Want to add some distance to your cast?
AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, Patrick has arranged a day's CASTING TUITION for P&DSAA members. Rupert Watson Smyth has kindly allowed us the use of a field & Mike Benfield has generously freed some time to spend a day with us, to improve your casting technique.
This is a fantastic opportunity, that will be benificial for member's of all abilities. This event is open to all member's & it will be a great day out, with a top casting instructor available for advice & tuition.

This is not a competition, the point of the event is to improve your casting technique, add some distance & confidence to your casting.
More detail's to follow, but if you could let your interest be known at the next Monthly meeting, so as we can get an idea of number's please. Special thanks to Patrick, for organising this!

CONFUSED ABOUT BASS RULES?
HOPE THIS CLEAR'S SOME PERCIEVED CONFUSION ABOUT BASS REGULATIONS.
BELOW IS THE INFORMATION YOU NEED REGARDING BASS RULES FOR 2017 - AS PUBLISHED by the MMO 31st Jan 2017.
CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW - AN EXCELLENT REPORT FROM S.O.S. (Save Our Seabass).
bass fishing rules 2017
Fishing commercially for bass from the shore is now illegal according to new instructions from the Marine Management Organisation. Among other regulations the MMO announced on January 31st they announced
"Commercial fisheries from the shore are prohibited."
"Commercial fisheries from the shore are prohibited."
(For reference click on the html 'bass fishing guidance' & see 1 & 2 - in the link below.)
Minimum Conservation Reference Size (MCRS)The MCRS for bass is 42cm.
You must not retain, tranship, land, transport, store, sell, display or offer for sale specimens below the MCRS, but must return them immediately to the sea.

WHAT IF I CATCH A BASS BEFORE 1st of JULY & WANT IT RECORDED? OR WISH TO FISH C&R?
For many years, the CFSA has accepted calculated weights for shark, tope and smoothounds based upon a length to weight conversion. Last year, as a result of bass conservation measures, the CFSA also agreed to accept measured bass which are caught and released if a clear photo of the fish is provided against a tape measure. The length of the fish can be reported on the monthly club return with club recorders scrutinising photographs to ensure that the length can be accurately determined. This has worked well in 2016 with a number of anglers submitting photos and the accurate length of released bass. The weight of the fish has then been calculated from a consistently applied length to weight conversion. Anglers have commented that this conversion provides a reasonably accurate weight estimate normally within a few ounces of the weighed fish. Using the calculated length avoids any ambiguity with the accuracy of people's scales for instance, if the fish is covered in sand or gravel which has been observed in recent months. This is a major step forward in attempting to encompass the views of all anglers not all of whom want to retain fish for eating. With the current state of bass stocks this is widely agreed to be a positive step in the right direction and demonstrates that anglers are at the forefront of conserving bass.

The club welcome's some new Senior member's this year, as well as a few Junior angler's, which is a good sign & bode's well for the future. Positive sign's that we are moving in the right direction.
Patrick Bate has provisionally organised transport for an 'away day' at some point during the year. (venue yet to be decided).
This will enable up to 12 angler's to travel on a minibus to a fishing mark at minimal cost & is obviously dependant on interest shown. As well as the potential 'away day', Patrick has also provisionally organised a casting lesson, (again interest dependant), with a top casting instructor for anyone wishing to attend or to improve their casting.
Anyone interested in either event, please contact Patrick or come along to the next meeting in February.

C.F.S.A. NEW RULES 2017
At the Recorders meeting there were a number of important rule changes made for 2017.
This year provided the opportunity for member clubs to propose weight changes for one day competition minimum sizes and specimen weights and the annual specimen weights. It is important to point out that the one day minimum sizes for fish are well above the mandatory minimum size limits set for commercial fishing ( e.g Dab of 15cm or a mullet of 20 cm ). Minimum sizes generally provide an opportunity for juniors to record fish. Most senior competitions are very rarely won with fish fish less than 90%.
The changes agreed were relatively minor with the one day minimum size for mackerel set at 10 oz.
The one day specimen size for Small Eyed Ray was moved from 8 lb to 8.5 lb.
The Thornback Ray annual specimen weight was increased to 11.5 lb.
In addition, it has now been agreed that CFSA run competitions will be run with the same general fishing rules to avoid any avoidance of doubt when anglers are fishing generally or in competitions following some accusations over the last 12 months. Cfsa members may now use 3 rods and a total of 3 hooks when fishing in competitions. Anglers are however asked to apply common sense when fishing competitions and make room for other anglers if a mark is popular. These are meant to be social, friendly events with most people acting in a sporting way.
For many years, the Cfsa has now accepted calculated weights for shark, tope and smoothounds based upon a length to weight conversion. Last year, as a result of bass conservation measures, the CFSA also accepted the catch and release of bass if the photo of the fish was provided against a tape measure. The length of the fish can be reported on the monthly club declaration with club recorders scrutinising photographs to ensure that the length can be accurately determined. This has worked well with a number of anglers submitting the length of released bass the weight of which has then been calculated from a consistently applied length to weight conversion. Anglers have commented that this conversion does provide a reasonably accurate weight estimate normally within a few ounces of the weighed fish. Some fish are clearly fatter than others and weights may be higher in reality but this does give anglers the opportunity to release fish if they choose to do so and avoids any ambiguity with the accuracy of people's scales or whether the fish is covered in sand or gravel. This is a major step in attempting to encompass the views of all anglers not all of whom want to retain fish for eating. With the current state of bass stocks this has to be a very positive step in the right direction and demonstrates that anglers are at the forefront of conserving bass.
As we have now seen catch and release works well for a number of species, and that it can work well at the competition club level as shown by Mounts Bay Angling Society, it has also now been agreed to extend the catch and release policy to bull huss and ray species. Length to weight conversions are now available from Cefas and can be used to predict the weight of these species from their length. CFSA anglers can also help to develop a Cornwall specific length to weight conversion by sending in the length of fish together with the weight of fish that are accurately weighed. This approach will therefore again maximise the opportunity for protecting slow growing species especially old, larger specimens if an angler chooses to do so.
If an angler catches a record, wishes to eat the fish or is fishing in a competition, the fish will need to be retained and brought back to the scales.
