Fishing is all part of a coastal community and should be allowed to continue without charges. Residents and tourists love to see fishermen carrying on traditions.

Extortionate amounts - and would be payable by kids crabbing in the summer!

If this was to go ahead it will stop me and my children visiting Minehead and spending money within the community and also prevent me finding a safe spot for fishing with children.

How kill a thriving town! We depend on visitors and this just another reason for people to come!

You need to encourage people to visit, not drive them away!

Just leave people be to enjoy themselves and instead concentrate on doing something positive for the area

I've been visiting West Somerset and fishing for over 30 years. Minehead and Watchet attract visitors from all over the southern half of the UK to fish, because the fishing is pretty good. It would be shortsighted to do anything which could have a negative impact on those visitors.
