Cal 480 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Darn it Ranger that makes too much sense.I was just starting to get excited at the thought of telling people to F Off. ;DIn all honesty personally I only fish the public access areas,that probably explains my lean results,along with 90% of the people who fish them.It pretty much does seem that on all the fishing forums including this one about 99% of the reports about some wicked landbased capture ect all seem to have pics of someones fence or pontoon ect in the backround.Maybe thats one of the reasons some are getting annoyed,theyve been told to move on,how many that fish the public areas get told to move on,none I bet.Cheers 8) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course not all will be legal length and that leads onto the other topic of undersized fish ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snake 1 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 If ya in ya yak u can fish anywere ya like,they dont own the water!!No one does!!So if a resident confronts u just keep ya traps shut and keep fishing!Same with pontoons, if trespassing signs are posted ,dont use it, but if it has a public path next to it then just fish it from the bank or ask them if you can use it first.Unfortunatly all of us combined isnt enough to be heard, when in council decisions, their rate paying customers will always come first.Just dont give em a reason to complain in the first place thats all!! P.s. Bring on a realistic priced fishing lisence state wide to weed out those problem fishers from the scene and fund rec.fishing projects!!Just my view on it!!

Grumps 0 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I personally take the nice approach first,but if I get a mouth full of abuse,I politely tell them to go and F**K THEMSELFS...The residents should remember that they don't own the water-way...As long as you don't cause any property damage or leave ya rubbish,then the residents should not have a problem with ya... If so just politely give them the finger,and move on to the next pontoon.... ;D ;D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David Ciaravolo 34 Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Hey SideShow I reckon Brenton was saying someone is more likely to tell a lad to rack off than a middleaged fella with a beard!He's not a bad bloke. You will notice that generally older fellas will have less troubles fishing around westlakes. Young bucks always have to prove they're not causing trouble because people assume that they do, while often older blokes will get the benefit of the doubt.PS. I'm Keen to see the fish off!
