    did u keep all those soles?
    damn right had to pay to keep them though lol (u kno to rent) you can either stick wit the quota and hardly go or rent and keep going go to u drop lol
    its crazy how they can say your not allowed to catch fish but you can lease it if you want, its like the skate ban, it was to preserve common skate in scottish waters so why was we banned from catching thornback?
    beacause there aint any skate is tyhere lol, even though boats from here have been going out for 24 hours and comin back wit 200- 400 stone skate ocasionaly, we aint got no skate quota now so had to rent but we never target them just catch them as a bye catch as we hate thjem we prefer soles worth more and me and me dad cant stand skate lol
    we catch the skate when the water goes clear, jus a bonus init really, now all of a sudden weve got 8 ton a month, yet last year we had none, its barmy, theres no fish in the thames even tho its one of the best cod fisheries weve seen in years, one tow for 1 ton, bring on the soles cant wait to get back to normal ay mike
    i cant wait to soles we just nipped out today to finish our quota caught half a tonne then went in cos our rented quota and boats alloctaed quota is up when did ya get your ton of cod for a haul was that in cod or sole gear
    alot of boats are catching so much cod in the sole gear, a rye boat pulled a gantry down coz of all the weight lol, we kept our sole gear on, wernt enough cod qouta to warrent changing to big mesh, still got em tho lol
