Fly-shooting is a controversial fishing technique Credit: Jason Alden/Bloomberg The EU has been accused of a land grab by fishing groups as it has drastically increased the amount of fly-shooting boats in UK waters. Fly-shooting is a controversial fishing method in which multiple nets are used to encircle and capture entire shoals of fish, and heavy ropes drag across the ocean floor, displacing whatever is underneath. There were originally just a handful of fly-shooters in our waters, but now there are 75 high-powered boats using the method all across UK waters to scoop up bass and mullet. The Chair of New Under Ten Fishermen s Association Jeremy Percy told The Fishing Daily: According to French inshore fishermen, it is a waste of time going to sea after these boats have been fishing locally as there is nothing left. ....
Ted Heath, the former Tory Prime Minister (Image: GETTY) “Ms Prentis (who infamously admitted to having not read the Withdrawal Agreement as she was too busy organising her local Nativity Trail) promised that ‘..any access negotiated with the EU will cover only the UK’s exclusive economic zone, and not the 0 to 12 mile zone. That remains the case’.” However, Mr Percy said the week before the Agreement was signed, no fewer than 17 large Belgian beam trawlers had been working the six-mile line between Hastings and Brighton. He added: “It is little wonder then that our own inshore fishermen’s main complaint these days is that there are few fish making it through this European curtain of large scale fishing effort and to within reach of these smaller scale fishermen. ....

Lord Frost and Michel Barnier’s respective teams will continue talks in Brussels on Sunday in a bid to close the huge gaps on fisheries and the so-called level playing field – the main obstacles to a deal.

By Harry Holmes2020-12-15T10:17:00+00:00 Fishing remains one of the outstanding issues in the UK-EU negotiations Food businesses are increasingly concerned over threats from French fishermen that goods will be blockaded from entering Europe if a no-deal Brexit excludes their boats from operating in UK waters.
