Have seen some people with nets by the castle (stepping stones) with nets while hunting. They were waring baraclavas so couldnt take a pic.

Salmon and sewin hammered by trawlers

Post 24 suggests that trawlers have nothing to do with the damage.

I think the petition reads something like "We want to ban trawlers fishing inshore and will blame them for all our troubles regardless of whether we have proof they are to blame for our troubles or not"

Post 30 suggests that they may do.

Laxdale, get a life.

Thanks to everyone who emailed the Welsh government supporting the removal of historic fishing rights, much appreciated.

The consultation is closed now but the number of forum members, local anglers, fishing clubs and river trusts who have contributed to the process suggests that inshore trawling will almost certainly cease along the coast of south Wales, a long overdue boost to the marine ecology.

Post 33 again suggests they don't and there is a huge difference between pelagic trawling and inshore trawling.

daiwl bach- I have a life. I also would not dream of writing "salmon and sea trout hammered by inshore trawling" unless I had evidence to back up my claim. You have no evidence at all to back up your claims. On the subject of which.........show us some evidence to back up your claim that salmon were/are getting hammered by inshore trawling.
I hope the trawler is allowed to carry on fishing unless, of course, you can prove the Ogmore fish were indeed being "hammered" by the trawler.
As has been mentioned elsewhere (but ignored by you) there are several possible causes for the damage to the fish none of which involve trawling.
