A LICENSING system for fisherman wishing to work in Guernsey’s three- to 12-mile limit will preserve local stock, those involved in the industry have said.

THIS year’s Channel Islands Freshwater Angling Championship was recently fished in Guernsey on the Richard McCarthy Memorial Lake.

JERSEY fishermen want to form a new Channel Islands fisheries commission offering reciprocal rights to all islands.

BRITISH records are like buses – you wait ages for one to come along, then others appear straight after.

THREATS that Jersey fishermen would blockade St Peter Port Harbour in protest at the new fishing deal have receded.

FINALLY, Guernsey has a 12-mile fisheries limit and that is good news for many reasons. No one should underestimate the amount of work required and congratulations are due to those – here and elsewhere – who have made it happen.

A DEAL allowing Guernsey to control fishing out to 12 miles has finally been signed.

A THREAT by Jersey fishermen over controversial new laws to licence a Guernsey 12-mile limit could see a fleet sailing here en masse in a show of solidarity.

ANOTHER step has been made in the Bailiwick taking control of fishing in the three- to 12-mile limit.

TWO new record fish have recently been caught.
