I fished the colchester sea fishing club match last night and between me and my friend we had about £4000 worth of gear we were using. Us British also build the best fishing rods in the world. At £550 a go it's very lucrative industry with a lot being made in the north east.
Do just how has being a member of the EU impacted upon charter fishing etc?
Yes he UK makes the best beach fishing rods in the world and buy they have tended to be small companies such as Zziplex Century, Connoflex etc and taking control of our waters will make little difference to them unless we ban or drastically cut commercial fishing to allow the fish stocks to recover.
The seaside towns have generally suffered a lack of government investment and igonicly it has been the EU that has been injecting money through its grand for impoverished areas
Our governments had money but chose not to invest in the costal towns and gave it away in tax cuts instead
