Hi all,
I have noticed that on other forums people are talking about their local 
authorities trying to stop them fishing from beachs!

I encountered this when some jobs worth called the fuzz on me whilst fishin 
my local beach in dover, but after further investigation i discovered that 
it is writen in the doomsday book(excuse spelling) that any male or female 
is entitled to fish between the high and  low water marks anywhere along the 
shore line!
Upon telling Dover Harbour Board this they said 'It doesn't matter we own 
the beach so we make the rules' or words to that effect!
I was wondering if any other people were having problems their local 
authorities tryin the same or if  it's just DHB trying to get the locals to 
pay to fish their piers!
If anyone else has had problems and managed to get round the stupid ruleings 
the info would be greatly appreciated!

Tight Lines
