3 fish daily bag limit for Bass

The European Commission has now implemented a 3 fish daily bag limit for bass for all recreational fishermen as part of a package of measures being developed at EU level to address declining bass stocks.

This measure applies to all recreational fishermen both on the shore and in boats, and means that recreational fishermen may only keep 3 fish caught per day (the practice of catch and release is not affected).
