Saltwater Boat Angling Magazine

18 August 2023

We explain some of the research and consultations in progress including bluefin consultations, bass fisheries management plans, fish tagging in the Solent and the pollack project being run by the University of Plymouth. In addition, shark specialist John McMaster looks into how commercial exploitation of spurdog is not a good idea. We report on the Sea Angling Classic, the Looe shark festival, the Oxwich Bay European kayak event and the Newquay Species League event. This plus the usual boat, tackle and electronics reviews, charter boat reports and some of the notable catches this summer.
