West Lakes Permit


Recommended Posts

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)

Off topic but in answer to your post .I am not sure how you fish .But I have watched many lure guys from here and other sites clean up in the public access areas.And i get the odd Bream and ST myself on the flyBUTits to do with persevering and to keep plugging away .It takes hours and hours some days and others you can get a fish on your first cast .You really don't need to fish near peoples homes/pontoons .Many fish when the weather is warm enough can be taken not far from the shore in and around seaweed beds . Of course not all will be legal length and that leads onto the other topic of undersized fish ;) ;D

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!!

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

I gotta say people here in s.a.are as backwards as you could possibly get.. protecting their pittiful pissweak waterfront property and pontoon....SAD!As a lot of you would know i just got back from the gold coast A.B.T. when i was greeted even when smashing my heavy jig heads into the 2 million dollar plus boats.... ummm ships??? with their helicopter parked on the pontoon next to it..."how ya going mate, catching any??"People here need to get real and take a fkn hard look at themselves.. and just mabee.. mabee if they had a look at the way the rest of the country lives(especially the well to do) they might relise that they are not as shit hot as they might like to think they are.I have spoken to a few guys who seem to have all the money in our poor little state... i simply threw my hands in the air "why the hell do you live here" youv'e got the coin... if i had it id get the hell out.Sorry to hijack the topic folks. as far as a licence goes im all for it if thats what it takes to get these tools off our backs. hey i might even go for a fish down there! it would be nice to be able to walk from pontoon to pontoon having a flick without the hasstle of some prick having a go at ya or getting the council onto you.I'd get out of this backward state as soon as possible if i didnt have work commitments and all of my mates here.anyhows... My 2c worth.

Yep gotta agree there,in many ways this place is a precious little shithole of the highest order.

Permit my arse,its a free country and i,ll fish where ever i can,you can bet if baitfishing was banned at the lake the rest of us being banned wouldn,t be far behind.I try to be friendly too any residents i meet and haven,t yet had a problem...then again i reckon some people are less likely to say something to me than they would a couple of pimply faced scruffy young lads. ;D ;D :P cheers brenton

HA!classic......... :icon_lol: To all the "Pimply Faced Scruffy Young Lads" who fish West Lakes. I suggest u carry protection such as a "Baseball Bat" or "Gaff!", and if Brentons new friend grabs it off ya, I suggest ya carry extra thick condoms for backup!!!! :police: Its never the hot rich single chick that tries to get ya pissed, so they can get laid and then kick ya out like a piece of rather satisfied meat!! ??? ??? UNLESS!! that could be another good topic to post"have ya ever SCORED fishing around West Lakes!!" and I don't mean PB's on SP's either!!!

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! :fishing: Vs :fishing: .fishswim. .fishswim.
