That they've now banned luncheon meat. Gutted considering I'd opened 10 tins and diced it all up.
Still, fortunately I'd taken along with me to eat a pack of cocktail sausages in which 1 piece made 3 hook baits and had a cracking day on the float.

Why???? I can understand some rules like death rigs and starting fires but luncheon meat? Some Committees are full of old farts who don't live in the real world. Unless it's privately run and you can only buy the brand of luncheon meat sold on Site!

Because luncheon meat of uneaten lays rotting on the bottom. It can cause serious problems with increased phosphates and nitrates if there's too much of it rotting down. Same as most baits. Banned because they think everyone is using it I guess. 10 tins per angler, 10 swims, that's a lot of luncheon meat.

Why don't they just ban any kind of fishing with bait and require you to scoop the fish out with the net. Or better still have the first angling club in the country that has banned any kind of fishing.

Was surprised to say the least upon reading it was banned but after googling why the reason could be I guess it's the correct thing to do. Pretty sure I read that a fishery was seeing usage of thousands of tins of the stuff.

Can't stand the stuff unless it's PEK which unfortunately it wasn't. Had to bin it......

Tazi, this isn't a dig at you...the inevitable...but....10 tins
were you there for a fortnight.
I see LM as a high fat hookbait with maybe a few free cubes to entice, just one look at the side of the tin tells you its not a good thing in large amounts, even from just a nutrition pov.

maybe they banned it because some herbert keeps rocking up and throwing in 10 tins of the bloody stuff!

You will laugh when it tell you this. Years ago when meat was one of the main baits, Pek for me out fished all the other meats I tried, big cubes of it
