Did not make it in the end, filled out on line survey. In a nut shell lower size to 30 cms to reduce handling of fish keep limit at two and provide a measuring tool so people do not have to hold cod down to measure them. I firmly believe handling cod kills more than anything else. So by not having to measure as many 31,32 + size fish you kill less of them. Yes some people will high grade but most will take a feed and be done with it.
I am building a fish measure now will post a photo when it's complete. Nothing fancy and not my original idea but it works well along side barb less hooks to limit fish mortality. Well in my view any way.
