    Guys/girls, can you settle a debate:

    I think it is illegal to fish with large nets on beaches (ie laying large nets) , even for flat fish on sand. Any persons doing so would need to be licenced through the appropriate fisheries authority.

    Struggling to find specific details on the, er... net.

    Thanks in advance

    Rob
