At a great fishing venue outside Droitwich the owner, a guy over 70 years old, was beaten up by a gang of eastern europeans who poached on his lakes for carp a few years back. He was so injured that he sold off his lakes for fear that he'd be killed next time. That's no way to end your career. These people aren't "just" fishing illegally, they are thugs.
Is this a joke page? Please tell me the police don't go to rivers and lakes checking fishermen for a license????? Has the world gone completely insane????

Makes me laugh, thousands of pounds worth of tackle, and yet still many anglers don't buy a ticket. I been asked twice in over 40years of fishing for my license,.but wouldn't dream of fishing without one.

Have the police got nothing else better to do? Also regarding carp man 2015. Around 12% of your rod licence goes towards fish welfare etc. The truth is that it is just another government stealth tax.
If you heard right on the video,at times something as simple as not having a fishing licence flags up more serious crimes from these individuals so in my opinion that is a result, also it's not just Eastern Europeans who are committing the crimes you have mentioned,far from it
These guys don't fuck about. There's not such thing as "taking circumstances into consideration" a few years ago, I was new to fishing. I was on a free stretch of a river, had my licence and was fishing for trout with a friend. Along came a baliff and issued me a ticket for using maggots. Apparently there is a bylaw against using maggots. Baring in mind I had the cheapest fishing gear sports direct could supply, and me telling him I just started fishing... After my day in court I got a £327 fine and a criminal record
I do buy a rod licence every year, ever since I was old enough to need one,, however, I do begrudge it, because virtually none of it spent on the waters,it is a tax on a tax, it goes into the coffers of the government department and squandered on all and sundry. Furthermore it is one law for them and one for us,, people are prosecuted for transferring fish, and or pollution,, but the E,A are biggest culprits,, I recall a few years ago they released and supplied a huge quantity of deliberately bred fish, from their stock,s, which proved to be diseased and wiped out a lot of private waters they had supplied,,, did they then prosecute themselves ? No is the answer,, and as far as I know, none of the private waters that were infected were compensated either!!
I’ve often wondered that... so I contacted them to ask them. They said in the north of England most people purchase salmon and migratory trout licences so apparently all the money goes into upper courses of rivers that predominantly contain salmon and sea trout. That’s how they can justify only giving a **** about one part of the country/river and not the other.
Just a rip off to tax you to go fishing I've never seen a bailiff anywhere in my life so they can't be doing much work anywhere apart from collecting everyone's money for doing jack shit
I pay for my licence every 12months in a hope that the money does in some way go into the water ways, but to use police resources to do the checks on anglers is a step to far in my opinion.
I had a eastern eropean poacher killing carp come at me with a knife when I told him it's forbidden to kill and keep course fish I asked him has he a fishing license and he came at me I did a leg kick push and he was in the canal lucky for me my mate videoed the whole lot he was got hold of by the police didn't turn up to court did a moonlight flitt to Romania so I think it's right personally that a copper should be there to back up environment agency license checks and reports of poaching course fish am I in the wrong here or the poacher just asking TC from Marcus
@@marcusdrew6452 very well put Marcus yes I can understand it from that prospective indeed some very bad people taking our fish and it needs to be stopped.
I have never had a rod licence in the 50+ years of fishing as I don’t have too, here in Scotland you don’t need them just a specific river permit, land owners permission or a day ticket at a fishery
I buy my licence every year even though I can only get out a few times, The problem is it is like the BBC but worse. You buy a licence but still have to pay for day ticket fishing which is basically pocketed tax free, especially Rivers that mostly are left to nature.
British politicians are the best at disguising taxes. It's not like there is any specific training or a test that needs to be taken to get a rod licence... it's just a fee that needs to be paid. So really, it's a fishing tax.
@@lobbyskids2 Jack the Ripper was famously known to fish without a license in his youth, well done to the police for cracking down on these future serial killers in the video
I pay.. Not happy about it but what can you do? I don't want my diawas n delkims taken so what's £25 a year... Yer I believe its my right as an Englishman to fish our rivers And I will usually see my arse if some toffee nose thinks they own a stretch but I catch and release and leave no trace and that's my way .. I do get angry when people think its their right , don't pay, leave beer cans and rubish, have a general bad attitude to natures wellbeing. In the UK we do have a problem with migrants raping fish stocks in certain areas and other wild life, most of these people will never work so continue to take take take and there is only more coming over here so to help prevent the rape of my forefathers waterways I'm not so insular to mind paying for the license and do my part so there is fish to catch in the future.
Lynchology101 Because most of the thefts of fish are done by foreigners from Eastern Europe. The steal our fish & sell it back home for an absolute bomb. Polish Latvian & Lithuanian people's eat a lot of fresh fish, as they are a delicacy over there. Those bastards are trying to rip off our fish stocks as its worth more money than their own.
MarineAqua45 have U seen any of them doing this or some of pure english men told U this.... I have been asked so many times by english anglers to do not realease fish back and give it to them for a diner for 5 kids beeing on bank with them ass well.....shame on U.....

It's principle like in my case. EA only care about rivers and I don't fish them our club make our own money to pay for upkeep etc no input from the EA at all and when needed help off them they've never come good they just fob you off with bullshit. I won't buy one and refuse to until they decide to start doing their job correctly and stop the polish, Romanians etc getting away with stealing and eating fish that are with thousands of pounds even in cases for one fish and you say we're mad for not paying into that kind of crap. You clearly know nothing about fishing politics..

true maybe some people think that we pay enough for our fishing already, you didnt need one years ago so why do we need one now... they say its to help look after fish population 😂and you dont need a licence to sea fish....

"Allo, allo allo. What's all this then? That hair rig is a bit unsporting and that fixed lead does not have a breakaway clip. That line looks a bit old as well. You're feckin' nicked my lad".
I have bought a Rod License, and the local river one since school. Nowadays I probably get a line wet about 6 times a year If I am lucky. We have suffered from the Europeans netting local pools and streams, and taking the Fish out. They don't get the concept of catch and release. Before they came In numbers, We could fill three or four Large Keep nets full of Fish overnight, After a year of them coming, You are lucky to fill half of one now. Glad they are all heading back. Local Carp pools wouldn't allow them on to Their pools. We don't have a Tackle shop In the town now, They pack up and shut shop cause of them stealing In there all the time. Now I have to travel to the City for kit and Maggots.
I've bought a rod license for the last 35 years, I only fish the local rivers, the Don and Rother. In the last 10 years I've had to contend with gangs of Roma fishing every single day through the week, taking decent fish out, lighting fires on the banks, leaving cans and litter, etc. I put fish back, there is only so many in a given swim and I often catch the same fish week in week out, a commercial wouldn't allow them on, would they? I'm paying to fish, as well as Roma to contend with, I've got Yorkshire water releasing raw sewage in to the river, the bankside trees are littered with tampons!
I live in Italy, the police is sleeping here, non such thing as stress while fishing, but let me tell you something, the rivers and lakes here are no match with what I see in England, there is no more fish in the water, maybe all this rules are saving the nature from becoming a trash hole like here... just saying
Fishing was great round here before the immigrants come here, our local pits and lakes where wonderful places to spend a day Now every swim is just full of beer cans , rubbish , bog roll and dead lines every where , and whats more these ba#^%#ds have eaten most of the decent fish including all the carp. Sadly it will never be like it was when i was a lad, and until it is policed and stopped i will not be buying another rod licence
Polish round my way poach all the carp we have caught a few on are local canal with bbqs going and dead carp on matts waiting for em to be cooked we have had remove a few and phone police when some have pulled knifes out
I dont know anything about fishing but if you need a rod licence would it be illegal to fish without a rod? not wanting to do it just seemed a obvious thing? cheers
What a lot of people dont know is that you can take up to 15 fish, up to 20 cm long, a day from any river in the UK. Most rivers are stocked with fish, if you have a license the fee's go towards up keep of the water, it also provides permission to take 15 coarse fish, up to 20 cm. 1 pike up to 60 cm. 2 grayling up to 30 cm, I think. and any fish for live/dead baiting as long as they're used there and then.
I have no issues paying £30 for a licence but where does the money go to? My local canal needs cleaning and it's not been touched for at least 15 years.
Total bollocks. In the 40 years I’ve been fishing I’ve been asked to show my licence once! The canals round my way are fished every day by Eastern European’s who take fish home illegally and not one has a licence.
I've been fishing just a little less than you and I've been checked 3 times although mostly when I was a teenager. I guess they had more staff back then.
Ironically if someone gets a tug,it will be you,why?,because you have a home,and your traceable,eastern Europeans are not,even if if they were,their hard work for the so called authorities,so they won’t bother,two,three,or even four tier policing in action.
i dont see why we should have to pay to fish private lakes as they do fuck all to them... this is like the bbc tv licence tax nobody watches it yet they still demand you pay for it.... its all to do with money and the keeping the private investors happy
I can understand needing a license to fish the rivers in which they look after but we have to get normally a fairly cheap day ticket but when you go to a private day fishery which is fairly expensive why do you have to have a license if someone can help me on this question please do because what I understand the upkeep has to be paid for by the owners
Multiple reasons, rod license revenues don't only go into stocking rivers. The revenue funds coaching, making the sport accessible, virus control, invasive species control and much more.
@@chesterfield5704 hold on a second though. Where I live there are no environment agency coaches or angling/canal river trust coaches. They don’t make fishing accessible AT ALL. I personally know people that struggle to fish because of this... and they don’t care about disease control. A recent case of crayfish disease has shown me that, who did they blame it on? The general public of course. Why should we be paying for a company that’s just lining it’s own pockets. No work ever gets done. It’s always down to angling clubs to police and protect their local waters. The EA and the whole rod licence thing is a complete joke and needs a complete re-work.
Don’t even get me started on that... kayak up these rivers. If they challenge you tell them to do one because they do not legally own the water or fish... just the banks you use to fish off of them.
The problem i have with this whole system is that you have to pay for a rod licence to the government, then you also have to pay for a licence to fish a particular water, and you're not allowed to keep any fish! If there's so many licences needed, then anglers should be allowed to take fish. Why don't you work on the same principle the National Trust works on? People buy a rod licence, and then the government pays the venues where people go and fish. And i'd also be curious to know what exactly are anglers paying for with all these licences. Is anyone ensuring there are plenty of fish in the waters? ALL the waters? Is anyone ensuring there are good fishing spots set up everywhere? That there are facilities at every fishing spot?
Unfortunately, it sounds good on the internet, not so much in front of a district judge who has actually practised law. Acts form part of our recognised legal system along with orders, regulations, byelaws and common law. Judges will still find you guilty and convict you regardless, they may add on a contempt charge depending how clever you are with them.
just a reminder THERE IS NO LAW that states you ever need to buy a rod licence..however there is an act of parliment that states you need one, lawfully an act of parliment is NOT A LAW its an act nothing more than that, the said act is ONLY given the FORCE OF LAW by consent of the governed, you are the governed..so dont consent and that act becomes useless...

just a reminder " THERE IS NO LAW THAT EVER STATES THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE NEEDS A ROD LICENCE"...there is only act of parliament which by definition is not a law, it is only an act, nothing more, regardless of what people tell you.. i shall now sit back and wait for all he dummies to reply...

Ahh, so good to see plod finding time to wander the banks of rivers, canals and ponds. Nice little job, getting well paid for a riverside walk. Makes a change from plodding along urban areas; many of which are far too dangerous for a walk due to criminal types. Presumably, if they have this much spare time, plod must have cleared the backlog of unsolved crimes (or 'incidents' as they refer to them, to keep 'crime' levels down)? Before anyone asks, yes I do own a rod licence, and have never been fishing without one in nearly 40 years.
Have you seen the price for a rod licence in the UK complete rip off been fishing without a license since I was 14 and I will continue to fish without one till my dying day
A place i used to fish was heavily poached it was a club water and we used to bailiff it but eastern europeans used to put night lines out and pick them up in the morning old bill did'nt want to know
These are lakes not rivers, that said I recognized these as my locals. I'd like to see these guys actually patrol the river system that these lakes sit on- it is rife with out of season anglers and poachers. A once thriving river was at one point almost lifeless.
thatmanfromyorkshire, its 50 odd quid for 2 tickets!!! Not out of order at all, how will all work to waterways be done with no funds?? Stockings, bank work, enforcement, all has to be paid for. Get a grip!
Clark Kent if you read the ea site it does actually say you are allowed to take fish up to a certain size and certain species. A nice polish lad at work told me about it, i looked it up and its on the site! Cant really blame them if it says on the site u buy your rod card from u can take them!! EA need a good sort out!!
Clark Kent doesnt stipulate where from!! Canal lake river private water syndicate club! Common law needs changing as alot of waterways round here getting raped by europeans, but cant blame them because thats what it says and EA dont enforce fuck all!!
It's £30 a year about £3 per month (can't fish for 3 months for spawning) I've fished for 15 years and the lakes and rivers have never been so clean and stocked up with fish. The original comment is pathetic!
I don’t go fishing but watching this had been a fishing license is obviously the law but those who don’t have a fishing license instead of you giving them a fine or a caution why don’t you offer them a fishing license and then if they decline then go down the prosecution side of things.
I have called the police and NRA when seeing fish being taken by Eastern Europeans The police told me it's nothing to do with them NRA said they only have 2 officers that patrol the Thames valley So the police can now check Thames water licence but can't deal with me reporting people stealing the fish From canals rivers and private lakes ????? Yet again picking on the people not braking the law And not dealing with reports of people breaking the law stealing stocks of fish ?????????
Ive only bean asked whether I have a license 2 times in 30 years of fishing, I would like to see more checks There is no excuse to not have a license when people spend thousands on fishing tackle. There is a big problem with Eastern European people catching and eating the fish it’s happened at my local pond there is no big carp left in there. I’m not sure if education would help I think they think it’s there right and they don’t really care about the fish they’re just a food source
if i was working for the environment agency and out checking rod licences id want the police to be with me doing it , some nutters about who think they can smack anyone or drunk while out fishing for a few days and nights and theyre above the law
They should do this way more often and no disrespect to polish or Eastern Europe they need to stop eating the carp in our local fisheries It’s good how the police and environmental agencies are working together to stop this cause all the local fisheries are suffering big time!!
i get paranoid fishing rivers in places i dont know u never know whos land your own i bought a licence went to fat feild in washington north england i walked up river fishing different spots i ened up on private land in lambton park a land rover defender pulled i had 3 men going crazy with me i generally thought i was going to get beat up i wont even go out with my old 22 rifle these not even for targets im quite poor a few months ago i ran out of food a few days before pay day and i thought i can go out and get a few rabbits anything i could get but is it really worth the fire arm charge and jail our rights are being took away
Is it worth it? Depends you couldn't afford food and didn't want to go to jail, that's fair and honest on the other hand you could go to jail and get more meals and luxury than you could probably afford now haha
'why do I need a rod licence....'it's a tax on my hobby' - the money from buying the rod licence means your hobby is thriving - 23 million pounds raised goes only to environment agency, IT IS NOT A TAX. Rivers are de-polluted and weirs etc are kept up and/or broken, invasive species are removed all so so fisheries continue to prosper. Pay your licence fee.
For 7 years I was able to get a fishing license. Now I have stopped, I don't want to, I have lost all interest in fishing because it is private everywhere.
They just said one of the bailiffs were attack, so they need to police to assist them. Plus some fishing carry knives. I think your argument is invalid.
@Strange Fruit Environment Agency fisheries enforcement officers have powers of arrest, carry handcuffs, use a baton and are constables under an act from 1975 (can't quite remember name!). So yes he can caution arrest and strike you with baton. Also we don't have 'rights' in this country,it is called a caution. Miranda rights are in the USA.
MOOSEDOWNUNDER Is it because they get assaulted by members of the public who fish illegally, like Eastern European peasants, who think our fish is their right to poach?
MarineAqua45 Wow, how things have changed mate. Bloody shame is that. I hope the sods get deported back to their own turd of a country and leave Blighty in peace.
ee imagrants have no problem with taking , eating our fish. and will stab assault any one who trys to stop them. thats why police and EA wear stab vests. i have witness ee netting my local river for fish. they then sell or eat their catch. deports the vile scum suckers.
Portcullis Its an American-made baton, which is portable, as it consists of a handle & a retractable metal-pole, which is telescopic, that could extend to 26” in length or more.
I personally think it should be down to lake owners to check for licenses. Police for arresting on disturbing the peace and attempted theft when a poacher is caught out.
No license no fishing. River banks should be down to water agency obviously. I think it's wasted police resources walking about fishing lakes when there is far more important criminal activity.

That’s how they can justify only giving a **** about one part of the country/river and not the other.
They spend it on otter reintroductions I think!
The EA are well into their diversity & rainbow training - that's not cheap.
Just a rip off to tax you to go fishing I've never seen a bailiff anywhere in my life so they can't be doing much work anywhere apart from collecting everyone's money for doing jack shit
The crime rate in Kent must be Zero !
yeah man no murders or drugs there, thats why all the police can fuck about lmao
Lmao
How about patroling the sewage companys for turning our rivers into open sewers
I pay for my licence every 12months in a hope that the money does in some way go into the water ways, but to use police resources to do the checks on anglers is a step to far in my opinion.
I had a eastern eropean poacher killing carp come at me with a knife when I told him it's forbidden to kill and keep course fish I asked him has he a fishing license and he came at me I did a leg kick push and he was in the canal lucky for me my mate videoed the whole lot he was got hold of by the police didn't turn up to court did a moonlight flitt to Romania so I think it's right personally that a copper should be there to back up environment agency license checks and reports of poaching course fish am I in the wrong here or the poacher just asking TC from Marcus

I have never had a rod licence in the 50+ years of fishing as I don’t have too, here in Scotland you don’t need them just a specific river permit, land owners permission or a day ticket at a fishery
I buy my licence every year even though I can only get out a few times, The problem is it is like the BBC but worse. You buy a licence but still have to pay for day ticket fishing which is basically pocketed tax free, especially Rivers that mostly are left to nature.
the money is not being spent on rivers im sure
British politicians are the best at disguising taxes. It's not like there is any specific training or a test that needs to be taken to get a rod licence... it's just a fee that needs to be paid.
So really, it's a fishing tax.
Nice to see they have their priorities right
It’s starts with evading the rod licence then they graduate to the school of hard crime. 😂
A rod is an offensive weapon!
@@lobbyskids2 Jack the Ripper was famously known to fish without a license in his youth, well done to the police for cracking down on these future serial killers in the video
I pay.. Not happy about it but what can you do? I don't want my diawas n delkims taken so what's £25 a year... Yer I believe its my right as an Englishman to fish our rivers And I will usually see my arse if some toffee nose thinks they own a stretch but I catch and release and leave no trace and that's my way .. I do get angry when people think its their right , don't pay, leave beer cans and rubish, have a general bad attitude to natures wellbeing. In the UK we do have a problem with migrants raping fish stocks in certain areas and other wild life, most of these people will never work so continue to take take take and there is only more coming over here so to help prevent the rape of my forefathers waterways I'm not so insular to mind paying for the license and do my part so there is fish to catch in the future.
Lynchology101 Because most of the thefts of fish are done by foreigners from Eastern Europe. The steal our fish & sell it back home for an absolute bomb. Polish Latvian & Lithuanian people's eat a lot of fresh fish, as they are a delicacy over there. Those bastards are trying to rip off our fish stocks as its worth more money than their own.
MarineAqua45 have U seen any of them doing this or some of pure english men told U this....
I have been asked so many times by english anglers to do not realease fish back and give it to them for a diner for 5 kids beeing on bank with them ass well.....shame on U.....

Taking photos of ducks oh yeah full of hardened criminals that spot

Getting paid for it, no less.
Amazing people spend £100s on fishing equipment but can't afford or cry about a £3 a month license.
I give em fuck all and I fish 5 rods / no details given / too the greedy fuckers
It's principle like in my case. EA only care about rivers and I don't fish them our club make our own money to pay for upkeep etc no input from the EA at all and when needed help off them they've never come good they just fob you off with bullshit. I won't buy one and refuse to until they decide to start doing their job correctly and stop the polish, Romanians etc getting away with stealing and eating fish that are with thousands of pounds even in cases for one fish and you say we're mad for not paying into that kind of crap. You clearly know nothing about fishing politics..
Your time will come, parasites like you always get caught eventually. I believe the fine can reach £1,000 and you can have your fishing tackle confiscated. Bet you won;t be so mouthy when that happens. You fucking gobshite.
@@CB-xr1eg i have been pulling sea trout out the rivers for years fk the licence if i get caught they can have a £1 pound a month i hate boring fishing anyway i just enjoy the free meal 😏

Just can't believe people pay all that money on gear and syndicates but can't be asked to get a license. One in five - its shocking.
true maybe some people think that we pay enough for our fishing already, you didnt need one years ago so why do we need one now... they say its to help look after fish population 😂and you dont need a licence to sea fish....
There's people walking about selling drugs and just being bad people and you've got police walking around fishing ponds giveing fines out for not paying to fish what's next do you have to start paying for the air you breath what a joke it's not England anymore
The air you breathe ? Correct ☝☝☝✈✈✈🌞🌞🌞....
Someone did not watch the video, police walking around fishing ponds giveing fines???
This is a situation where the police take the soft option,anything else is just to difficult.
"Allo, allo allo. What's all this then? That hair rig is a bit unsporting and that fixed lead does not have a breakaway clip. That line looks a bit old as well. You're feckin' nicked my lad".
I have bought a Rod License, and the local river one since school. Nowadays I probably get a line wet about 6 times a year If I am lucky. We have suffered from the Europeans netting local pools and streams, and taking the Fish out. They don't get the concept of catch and release. Before they came In numbers, We could fill three or four Large Keep nets full of Fish overnight, After a year of them coming, You are lucky to fill half of one now. Glad they are all heading back. Local Carp pools wouldn't allow them on to Their pools. We don't have a Tackle shop In the town now, They pack up and shut shop cause of them stealing In there all the time. Now I have to travel to the City for kit and Maggots.
I've bought a rod license for the last 35 years, I only fish the local rivers, the Don and Rother. In the last 10 years I've had to contend with gangs of Roma fishing every single day through the week, taking decent fish out, lighting fires on the banks, leaving cans and litter, etc. I put fish back, there is only so many in a given swim and I often catch the same fish week in week out, a commercial wouldn't allow them on, would they? I'm paying to fish, as well as Roma to contend with, I've got Yorkshire water releasing raw sewage in to the river, the bankside trees are littered with tampons!
I live in Italy, the police is sleeping here, non such thing as stress while fishing, but let me tell you something, the rivers and lakes here are no match with what I see in England, there is no more fish in the water, maybe all this rules are saving the nature from becoming a trash hole like here... just saying
@stephen john gray same thing will happen even in your country if there will be no rules, migrants fuck and eat like everybody
Fishing was great round here before the immigrants come here, our local pits and lakes where wonderful places to spend a day
Now every swim is just full of beer cans , rubbish , bog roll and dead lines every where , and whats more these ba#^%#ds have eaten most of the decent fish including all the carp. Sadly it will never be like it was when i was a lad, and until it is policed and stopped i will not be buying another rod licence
fucking sickening mate...Those bastards need beating out of fishing places....When I was a boy it was so different...
The UK was a great place till they came over
Polish round my way poach all the carp we have caught a few on are local canal with bbqs going and dead carp on matts waiting for em to be cooked we have had remove a few and phone police when some have pulled knifes out
Why did we attempt to leave the EU again?
theys no laws stating that a person cant keep as many coarse species as they like get over it....
I dont know anything about fishing but if you need a rod licence would it be illegal to fish without a rod? not wanting to do it just seemed a obvious thing? cheers
interesting comment. but they will probably fined you for not having a rod.
What a lot of people dont know is that you can take up to 15 fish, up to 20 cm long, a day from any river in the UK. Most rivers are stocked with fish, if you have a license the fee's go towards up keep of the water, it also provides permission to take 15 coarse fish, up to 20 cm. 1 pike up to 60 cm. 2 grayling up to 30 cm, I think. and any fish for live/dead baiting as long as they're used there and then.
This is no longer correct and hasn't been for a few years now
That is not actually the case. It depends on local bye laws and fishery rules set by the owner or controlling club.
Disgusting waste of public money
I have no issues paying £30 for a licence but where does the money go to?
My local canal needs cleaning and it's not been touched for at least 15 years.
Mass lobby the ea. Get enough people and they really do listen. Also if pollution is an issue try to find out who?
depends who run it.
True
Just don't ask them to come out to child abuse case, You will be wasting your time!
Total bollocks. In the 40 years I’ve been fishing I’ve been asked to show my licence once!
The canals round my way are fished every day by Eastern European’s who take fish home illegally and not one has a licence.
I've been fishing just a little less than you and I've been checked 3 times although mostly when I was a teenager. I guess they had more staff back then.
Ironically if someone gets a tug,it will be you,why?,because you have a home,and your traceable,eastern Europeans are not,even if if they were,their hard work for the so called authorities,so they won’t bother,two,three,or even four tier policing in action.
i dont see why we should have to pay to fish private lakes as they do fuck all to them... this is like the bbc tv licence tax nobody watches it yet they still demand you pay for it.... its all to do with money and the keeping the private investors happy
I have licence always. However certain waters should be free. Like private farmers land. Environment agency dont care for or stock these waters.
Agreed mate
what a waste of police resources ..
I go fishing and the only licence I have is a licence to thrill 😚can't do anythink in this country without money being involved
" anythink "...spelling correctly cost nothing at all. Maybe you should stay home and read more instead of fishing illegally.
@@CB-xr1eg tosser
I can understand needing a license to fish the rivers in which they look after but we have to get normally a fairly cheap day ticket but when you go to a private day fishery which is fairly expensive why do you have to have a license if someone can help me on this question please do because what I understand the upkeep has to be paid for by the owners
I think its got something to do with viruses and parasites. Helps Stops the spread of diseases amongst fish.
Multiple reasons, rod license revenues don't only go into stocking rivers. The revenue funds coaching, making the sport accessible, virus control, invasive species control and much more.
so how are they controlling the invasion of signal crayfish thats been happening for years and years in the rivers and lakes???
They're not because it's an almost impossible task. Crayfish lay around 200 eggs at a time. You'll never control that.
@@chesterfield5704 hold on a second though. Where I live there are no environment agency coaches or angling/canal river trust coaches. They don’t make fishing accessible AT ALL. I personally know people that struggle to fish because of this... and they don’t care about disease control. A recent case of crayfish disease has shown me that, who did they blame it on? The general public of course. Why should we be paying for a company that’s just lining it’s own pockets. No work ever gets done. It’s always down to angling clubs to police and protect their local waters. The EA and the whole rod licence thing is a complete joke and needs a complete re-work.
I have a licence but it really annoys me that all these posh snobs own all the rights to rivers and use posh judges and politicians to enforce it.
Don’t even get me started on that... kayak up these rivers. If they challenge you tell them to do one because they do not legally own the water or fish... just the banks you use to fish off of them.
Fishermans are criminals 😂😂
Don’t understand why people would spend 100s if not 1000s of pounds of gear but won’t pay 30 quid for a licence. Stigs.
The problem i have with this whole system is that you have to pay for a rod licence to the government, then you also have to pay for a licence to fish a particular water, and you're not allowed to keep any fish! If there's so many licences needed, then anglers should be allowed to take fish.
Why don't you work on the same principle the National Trust works on? People buy a rod licence, and then the government pays the venues where people go and fish.
And i'd also be curious to know what exactly are anglers paying for with all these licences. Is anyone ensuring there are plenty of fish in the waters? ALL the waters? Is anyone ensuring there are good fishing spots set up everywhere? That there are facilities at every fishing spot?
Good points - thanks
at no point are you required BY LAW to answer any bailiffs/police questions, your right to remain silent doesn't begin when you're informed of it.
stellahead wrong, when your fishing you are required by law to prove you have a license to fish. Almost any other time you are right.
Unfortunately, it sounds good on the internet, not so much in front of a district judge who has actually practised law. Acts form part of our recognised legal system along with orders, regulations, byelaws and common law. Judges will still find you guilty and convict you regardless, they may add on a contempt charge depending how clever you are with them.
Madam Le Gray acts are laws
JuliettWhiskeyNiner contempt? For what? A judge? No judge it's a magistrate.
Spud Spud Magistrate courts are three Magistrates or a district judge, chances are you'll get a district judge when playing freeman of the land stuff
just a reminder THERE IS NO LAW that states you ever need to buy a rod licence..however there is an act of parliment that states you need one, lawfully an act of parliment is NOT A LAW its an act nothing more than that, the said act is ONLY given the FORCE OF LAW by consent of the governed, you are the governed..so dont consent and that act becomes useless... PLEASE CHECK ON THIS as it is fact not fiction !! TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORDS USING A BLACKS LAW DICTIONARY... YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE TO HEAR OR READ THE TRUTH so just check on this yourselves
@CEGJ yeah its there for a reason alright mate..its called screwing cash out of ya thats all..
@CEGJ i take it by that comment you do? well please enlighten us all as you seem to know all about it..and it does not matter where its spent ...if somethings unlawful its unlawful regardless..where that ill gotten gain is being spent has nothing to do with laws...
kerching, kerching, listen to those tills ring, because your rod licence does make a difference, no really, yes it does, another stealth tax
just a reminder " THERE IS NO LAW THAT EVER STATES THAT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE NEEDS A ROD LICENCE"...there is only act of parliament which by definition is not a law, it is only an act, nothing more, regardless of what people tell you.. i shall now sit back and wait for all he dummies to reply...

62 years I’ve fished and never been asked for my rod license…I’ve never had one either. I pay a day ticket to fish.. i don’t not require a license.
In England you still need a rod licence.
Ahh, so good to see plod finding time to wander the banks of rivers, canals and ponds. Nice little job, getting well paid for a riverside walk. Makes a change from plodding along urban areas; many of which are far too dangerous for a walk due to criminal types. Presumably, if they have this much spare time, plod must have cleared the backlog of unsolved crimes (or 'incidents' as they refer to them, to keep 'crime' levels down)? Before anyone asks, yes I do own a rod licence, and have never been fishing without one in nearly 40 years.

It doesn't happen in Scotland. I've never heard anything as ridiculous in my life as a rod license. Thank god i'm Scottish.
Kip Strange really! Check the river fishing rights in Scotland. Also England pays the rest. Yawn.

These are lakes not rivers, that said I recognized these as my locals. I'd like to see these guys actually patrol the river system that these lakes sit on- it is rife with out of season anglers and poachers. A once thriving river was at one point almost lifeless.
too hard for em to do rivers, they have to WALK back to the car...they aint gunna do that are they

Pathetic! How can we make some money? Oh let s invent a licence needed to fish the waters. What a con and nothing but a complete and utter joke.

Clark Kent if you read the ea site it does actually say you are allowed to take fish up to a certain size and certain species. A nice polish lad at work told me about it, i looked it up and its on the site! Cant really blame them if it says on the site u buy your rod card from u can take them!! EA need a good sort out!!

It's £30 a year about £3 per month (can't fish for 3 months for spawning) I've fished for 15 years and the lakes and rivers have never been so clean and stocked up with fish. The original comment is pathetic!
TV licence, fishing licence, etc etc, all a fucking con.
gotta pay the thugs to feed yourself
Fishery owners should ask to see rod licence before selling their day ticket and all tackle shops should also check before buying equipment...
About time good on you guys
We need more of this now to protect our lakes and rivers
I don’t go fishing but watching this had been a fishing license is obviously the law but those who don’t have a fishing license instead of you giving them a fine or a caution why don’t you offer them a fishing license and then if they decline then go down the prosecution side of things.
The old bill won’t walk a river on wet windy day . Never ever seen a bailiff in my life and I work on a fishery
I have called the police and NRA when seeing fish being taken by Eastern Europeans
The police told me it's nothing to do with them
NRA said they only have 2 officers that patrol the Thames valley
So the police can now check Thames water licence but can't deal with me reporting people stealing the fish
From canals rivers and private lakes ?????
Yet again picking on the people not braking the law
And not dealing with reports of people breaking the law stealing stocks of fish
?????????
Agreed brian ive seen it myself this never ever happened twenty years ago
Ive only bean asked whether I have a license 2 times in 30 years of fishing, I would like to see more checks There is no excuse to not have a license when people spend thousands on fishing tackle. There is a big problem with Eastern European people catching and eating the fish it’s happened at my local pond there is no big carp left in there. I’m not sure if education would help I think they think it’s there right and they don’t really care about the fish they’re just a food source
if i was working for the environment agency and out checking rod licences id want the police to be with me doing it , some nutters about who think they can smack anyone or drunk while out fishing for a few days and nights and theyre above the law
They should do this way more often and no disrespect to polish or Eastern Europe they need to stop eating the carp in our local fisheries
It’s good how the police and environmental agencies are working together to stop this cause all the local fisheries are suffering big time!!
never had my license checked not even by club bailiffs they just check the club license and not the EA one
yeah don't worry about paedos or anything lads, some bloke might be fishing without a licence
They are the rural crime team no beat cops

i wont even go out with my old 22 rifle these not even for targets im quite poor a few months ago i ran out of food a few days before pay day and i thought i can go out and get a few rabbits anything i could get but is it really worth the fire arm charge and jail our rights are being took away
Haha adam , you sound just like me , an out and out poacher.
Is it worth it? Depends you couldn't afford food and didn't want to go to jail, that's fair and honest on the other hand you could go to jail and get more meals and luxury than you could probably afford now haha

I don't think they are capable.
They are criminals it’s illegal to fish without a license
'why do I need a rod licence....'it's a tax on my hobby' - the money from buying the rod licence means your hobby is thriving - 23 million pounds raised goes only to environment agency, IT IS NOT A TAX. Rivers are de-polluted and weirs etc are kept up and/or broken, invasive species are removed all so so fisheries continue to prosper. Pay your licence fee.
In theory yes... but that’s not what happens where I live
Oi where’s your commenting licence?
It's not a rod license, it's fishing tax!I don't take a test to pass! When i go to pub i dont need a licence to drink beer.
Call it what it is...

AMAZING. Carp and Pike continually poached for the table by our new eastern european friends and not one in sight
For 7 years I was able to get a fishing license. Now I have stopped, I don't want to, I have lost all interest in fishing because it is private everywhere.
Tax tax tax tax tax
Crazy Trucker it's not a tax
Those policemen should be up in court for impersonating real Policemen.
Wait you need a license for a Fishing Rod? Wtf lol
Is this a joke?
Only if you are actually fishing. If it is stored in your house or shed, you are OK!
Fishing is free. Never pay.
Now it whear the police r when thay should be on the streets sorting out real crime
We have acid and knife attacks and can't defend ourselves but obviously this is way more important
They just said one of the bailiffs were attack, so they need to police to assist them. Plus some fishing carry knives. I think your argument is invalid.
Fishermen*
@Strange Fruit
Environment Agency fisheries enforcement officers have powers of arrest, carry handcuffs, use a baton and are constables under an act from 1975 (can't quite remember name!). So yes he can caution arrest and strike you with baton. Also we don't have 'rights' in this country,it is called a caution. Miranda rights are in the USA.
The EPA are issued with stab proof vests and Asp batons..... WTF has happened to our old Blighty?.
MOOSEDOWNUNDER Is it because they get assaulted by members of the public who fish illegally, like Eastern European peasants, who think our fish is their right to poach?
MarineAqua45 Wow, how things have changed mate. Bloody shame is that. I hope the sods get deported back to their own turd of a country and leave Blighty in peace.
ee imagrants have no problem with taking , eating our fish. and will stab assault any one who trys to stop them. thats why police and EA wear stab vests. i have witness ee netting my local river for fish. they then sell or eat their catch. deports the vile scum suckers.
What is an "Asp baton"? The asp is not a native British fish, but I suppose they could be used as a baton if rigour mortis had set in.
Portcullis Its an American-made baton, which is portable, as it consists of a handle & a retractable metal-pole, which is telescopic, that could extend to 26” in length or more.
I personally think it should be down to lake owners to check for licenses. Police for arresting on disturbing the peace and attempted theft when a poacher is caught out.
No license no fishing. River banks should be down to water agency obviously. I think it's wasted police resources walking about fishing lakes when there is far more important criminal activity.
Your programing is complete your a good little drone
