The tackle was confiscated as it was being SMUGGLED along with the huge amount of illicit bait ! These 2 were lake owners, not ordinary anglers. 7.5 ton lorry full of bait and tackle is bound to attract some attention wasnt it? Got what they deserved

You may well be right Wayne however the fact remains that it is illegal to do so. Is it a risk worth taking ?

Can you share any links to info or reports on this, I'm pretty sure most of us here are only interested in facts, not hearsay or rumours. Most fact based experience so far (although it is early days with the current restrictions) appear to contradict your opinions..

'If' the 'risk' deems to be low after the situation settles down, then my answer is yes, absolutely.

I would imagine your bait getting confiscated is the worst that will happen. Only problem is if the venue you are going to orders bait in rather than stock 100s of kilos they might not be able to supply you if you turn up baitless and tell them yours was confiscated.

Plot thickens! It was not anglers it was a lake owner with a lorry trying to take **** loads of boilees over!
If fisheries price there house bait to high then anglers won't buy and won't feed the fish, owner then needs to supplement this out of his own pocket!
