Jack. 10 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 This is exactly why you need to take care up at Whyalla in that snapper comp. Anyone entering this year, you need to be aware that some secretive guys out there will be on marks (especially the inshore ones) with lights out. My mate in his 6.4 m trail craft went within just a few meters of a small boat at anchor with lights off last year. He has good spotties, but we all know the light bounces around out there. Take care guys.(I'm now a self appointed safety conscious obsessive now since not looking where I was going in DAYLIGHT the other day... So listen to this idiot )Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ranger 48 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Nah, no probs Brent. You and everyone else did deserve an explanation though! Just like you lot, we wanna provide "free speech" but you'd be surprised at some of the issues we get approached over and the trouble we have to go through over that sorta stuff!That's why we have to set some guidelines and jump on things.I'm like you, I wanna fish and have fun, not deal wiv bullsh*t or answer to threats over who said what, when, where, and why about whom! :blink:Just in the past 24 hours I've had to deal with I think 6 different issues from concerned members where posts have been withdrawn, questioned, discussed or requested removal, and ban one member who flatly refused to comply. I just try to weigh things up, refer to the acceptable use policy for direction, and do what is best for the majority overall to keep the place running as smoothly as possible. Someone always wont like it, and it'll upset someone else who will then complain, but thems the breaks, and voluntarily I chose to do it, so I'll wear it I guess, then when I knock off I'll abuse the bottle. It's knock off time soon! Got an issue of theft wiv someone, just shoot em I recon, then it's between the two of you...............oh no, that's illegal and I can't say that here......BUGGER! Forget that! :blush:NOW I'll take the silver duct tape option! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

O2Catch1 170 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Just be careful when your "mate" wants to take a photo of you with his new iPhone or similar just after you pulled that big fish over the side of you boat. If he has the geotagging activated on the phone it will record the gps location for each photo taken???????Worse still he could reach in his pocket and take a picture of the inside of his pocket and he still has the location.

I saw a boat sitting right on where he fishes so took a screen capture.... I knew the spot anyway but it just shows that you can even ping boats just by looking at google earth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took a mate to a productive inshore spot but gave him the plots anyway as he is completely trustworthy (and still is) and then 2 years later into the future he took another local (who he thought was trustworthy) there to the said spot and then this bloke pinged the spot and now takes others there.

Boyington214 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm definately with Jack on the Whyalla comment. We had an experience there as well, but although not real close. We were coming in from Point Lowly through the Mudbanks area on the second day when we saw a weak flash off the starboard bow. We slowed down and turned slightly to Port. When we had moved past a bit, we saw the distinct image of a white hulled cuddy or half cab sitting there without lights. This time I will be travelling well wide of that area.
