Today, a major new report launches in Parliament: Wildlife and Countryside Link's Hidden in the Haul, the first to lay bare the true scale of what UK commercial fishing kills by accident. It's the fish that often get forgotten. Over a thousand endangered Atlantic salmon a year in a single fishery alone. More than 120 tonnes of Critically Endangered skate and porbeagle hauled up and thrown back dead. Smooth-hound and dogfish caught in their thousands, unmanaged and uncounted.

Take bass. A rule meant to protect it - capping how much of a catch can be bass, recently loosened from 5% to 10% - can end up rewarding boats for landing more low-value smooth-hound and dogfish just to legitimise a valuable haul. That's not sustainable, and it's not just. It's anglers and fish that pay the price.

The Angling Trust is proud to stand behind this report, and we're at the front of the fight to fix it: cameras on every commercial boat, rules properly enforced, and bycatch of every protected fish taken seriously in how our fisheries are managed.

Give it a read. We'll be in Parliament today urging MPs to take action to tackle bycatch - especially for the sake of forgotten fish.

Clear out time again. I don't want to do the maths, I know there's a few quids worth of red gills, just getting rid. Most very usable, some need lots of TLC or chucking. I don't care which. No, I won't deliver them or pay for them to be posted.

A massive thank you to all my current and new customers for tolerating the Iran War fuel surcharge. Fuel costs are up 80% from Feb.

Well that was inevitable. Plymouth Charter boats' fuel price now 50% more expensive.

The continued Iranian war has now increased my fuel by a third. I have to add a war subsidy of £5/pp on reef and 20 miles wrecking and £10 on mid-channel. I'll revert ASAP.
