SOAP BOX TIME

I felt i must have my say on the madness that is going on at some of my local fishery's in this era of mad 50lb keepnet rules most fishery's insist on at least 2-3 nets and some where big weights are common there have been some crazy weights 250-300lb with anglers using 6-8 nets has fishing gone MAD! I am going to have my say on the stupid net rule that some fishery's are imposing i believe that a 3m keeepnet can easily hold 100lb without harming the fish at all take a look at some of the BIG commercial fishery's in my area Tunnel Barn, Moorlands Farm & Woodlands view that allow you up too 100lb in one net now these fishery's have been around for a long time and produce regular big weights. Some of the smaller up and coming fishery's should take note of the big boy's and stop imposing stupid rules knocking anglers weights down if they go over the 50lb limit, now most of these anglers are working guy's with 1 day off a week to go fishing away from the misses & kids with a few mates to have the crack a bit of fishing with a bit of competition thrown in for good measure. Now the lucky guy has finally managed to draw a flier and catch a few fish only to have some jumped up Hitler type fishery owner on a power trip knock a few pound off his weight for going over in one of his umpteen keepnet's and costing him the match, now don't get me wrong i am all for fish welfare but i think that 3 nets is more that ample for most fishery's and these fishery owner's had better watch out as i work in tackle shop and hear all the moaning from a lot of dissatisfied anglers about certain fishery's with all the rules and regulations of bait restrictions YOU MUST BUY OUR PELLETS AS THEY ARE BETTER FOR OUR FISH, B******S BETTER FOR YOUR BANK BALANCE! Coupled with you carn't do this and carn't do that the pleasure of going out on your day off is slowly wearing a bit thin and i think that those fishery's with to many rules in the future might come unstuck when the majority start voting with there feet and boycotting these fishery's. Now i know on the pellet front how much they cost and how much you can sell them for to make a decent profit but there are a couple of my local fishery's that are BIG hitters in the world of commercials that are ripping there customers off big style with the price of there pellets, i know they are making stupid amounts of profit on these pellets some in excesses of 200-300% what they should be and they have even got the nerve to make the measures shorter every time you go! In the future you might see a swing back towards rivers and canals as people get sick to the back teeth with all the commercials ripping them off and treating them like naughty little boys don't do this and don't do that F**k this they will be back on the rivers with next to no rules?
Sorry rant over.
