Gill nets - PrepperJohn - 29 September 2012 Hi Is it legal to use gill nets for fishing in the UK I watched a video the other day with a guy setting gill nets at low water and then leaving them for a tide I am getting conflicting views from different people. Gill nets are a good survival fishing tactic butlike all of these things they require practice now so we know haw to use them then pj RE: Gill nets - Metroyeti - 29 September 2012 Not sure if there legal. Met a guy who was working on berwick pier and they had problems with poachers using nets to catch salmon. So im guessing there ilegal, but im not a fishing expert. RE: Gill nets - bigpaul - 29 September 2012 what about one of these?"Crayfish lobster folding shrimp mini mesh fishing net" on Amazon £4.64 free delivery??

I have got one of those but I am looking for something that is going to catch a lot of fish with minimal effort I don't want to be out there practicing with the gill net and fall foul of the law RE: Gill nets - Tigs - 30 September 2012 gill nets are illegal in in the uk You can get a £2500 fine for using one RE: Gill nets - PrepperJohn - 30 September 2012 Thanks Tigs I thought they were illegal in freash water but I did not know they were illegal in the sea. RE: Gill nets - Tigs - 30 September 2012 they are not illegal if used from a boat at the moment but they can not be left which defeats what they are used for ! you would be better off using a Seine net Seine fishing personally i would use traps RE: Gill nets - Skean Dhude - 30 September 2012 I've bought a few of each of these. Like guns they are illegal now but we are after all preparing for a futire where laws do not exist. You will quickly learn and having the right tools helps a lot. RE: Gill nets - Paul - 30 September 2012 Every year the idiot scientists come up with the same story that we as a nation aren't eating enough fish. So imagine my surprise (not really) when I read ANOTHER group of experts (this time money weasels) wanting the UK to mothball it's fishing fleets for 10 years. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/346056/-Ten-year-ban-would-solve-fish-shortage- If this was to happen, your gill nets will be raking in loads of money as what ever you catch will be highly sell-able. RE: Gill nets - bowdrill - 30 September 2012 they are NOT ILLEGAL fresh water YES they are i gill net beaches BUT check out your local bylaws bd |
