Please use this page to send any message you wish to: your MP; all the relevant fisheries managers; and us.

Insert your postcode below to find your MP and then press the “Email your MP” button. Don’t forget to:

1) include your name and address in your email, so your MP can see you live in his/her constituency; and

2) ask your MP to meet with the Fisheries Minister to discuss your concerns.

We suggest you raise two issues, using your own words:

  1. The scientists have recommended that the bass stock should be shrunk in 2026. Following that advice would be extremely unwise because the stock has only just exited the danger zone.
  2. Fishery managers must treat recreational fishers fairly. For the last five years, the Fisheries Minister increased commercial bass fishing catch limits without increasing the recreational bag limit.
