How do you purchase a single? I thought you had to purchase a second 2 rod licence

On the vodka situation yes it always is better for the owner if you buy 2 and rob a 3rd because he will have the profit of the 2 you purchase to off set his loses rather than you just steal one and buy none

My take is don’t even steal 1



Steal the 3 might as well get hung for a sheep than a lamb 😂

Agree, but some of the old school ea fisheries people thought they could come stomping in.
Told him straight, ask or get told to eff off and complain to head office.

If the land is owned by the fishery upon climbing fences to gain unauthorised access they can be prosecuted by the fishery owner on the grounds of unlawful entry onto private property which will likely include damage to the fences.

They have to seek permission to enter of which the owner has to provide reasonable access.

On some venues you have different gates to access different lakes, typically the fishery owner or his bailiffs have to be present.

It's more of a case of walking out of the shop after buying 2 bottles of vodkas, getting home and realising you had accidentally picked up 3.

They will climb fences at will...
When challenged they will state they have permissive power of entry, which may be true, but some manners will allow the gate to be opened when asked...

And if its just the odd time you use extra rod it might be worth considering a day license @ £7.30

Aside from the Medway fine my heart goes out to all the other people listed as being fined. To have the shame hanging over then must be horrible, for people in the local post office or pub about the situation must really impact their mental health. If it was me I’d really struggle to venture out, I’m sure I would be shunned by friends and relatives alike. I just can’t imagine the pain, shame and embarrassment fishing those Day Ticket Watets

On another note regarding having a two rod license and fishing with 3 ( and me stirring the pot) if you purchased 2 bottles of Smirnoff vodka and stole a 3rd is this less of a crime than just stealing 1?

Yes. If its registered as a fishery.

Framey. This info was provided by the Kent region of the EA apparently.

But yes your right. Kent does have more than it's fair share of Wronguns
