  1. Ah yeah, there's been a bit of that going on down south too. I had heard that the christies plant has significantly reduced its outflow in recent years. a chunk goes to aldinga/mclaren vale for the vinyards, and the purple pipes have been rolling out down south for parks etc for a few years now. but they are also increasing their capacity by double (aging plant).I'm fairly sure the plant at Mt Barker supplies local growers with water too.I'm all for any form of wastewater reuse.although i think the desal plant is the biggest waste of money, i don't think it will have a significant impact on the marine environment. the brine is fully dispersed within 100m or so of the outlet. multiple studies done in other areas with low tidal movement (saudi arabia, persian gulf etc).

  2. Bottom line is that it is almost 100% the NITROGEN loads which are killing the grasses and these come directly from Waste Water plants and Penrice. The push is to reduce' date=' at all costs, these levels even if it is tiny steps at a time :rain:[/quote']I'm not sure how the treatment plants could possibly reduce the amount of nitrogen they pump out, they already have a denitrification process involving bacteria and bolivar uses the ponds as well (no ponds at christies). Was the treatment plant at Glenelg mentioned at all?Unfortunately the only way i can see to get nitrogen levels down from treatment plants is to fund RESEARCH into more efficient denitrification processes (OH NO SPEND MONEY??). There was some research done on using duckweed on the ponds to eat up some nitrogen, the problem was it blew around with the wind to one side, combat that by sectioning off the ponds using barriers, then the ducks ate all the weed coz it was easier to get to lol...believe it or not, treatment plants are actually fairly interesting places, there is a lot involved and a lot of money spent in treating our poo :D and there are a lot more treatment plants than people would think (some of which pump their 'outfall' into creeks and rivers that ends up guess where? ;) )anyway, i digress, i want our sea grasses back! more squid and gar thanks.
  3. Here's a colour chart based on water clarity and feeding activity, notice pink is smack in the middle (good all rounder).Posted ImageI've heard the squid like the dark colours and black because they cast a good silhouette, so its more about seeing the outline of the jag more than the jag itself in some cases.I almost exclusively use the cheapie pink jags :) and a couple of yo zuris in orange/green, and pink/black.

  4. only one i disagree with is the 400 limit on cockles in your freezer at a time' date=' i have around 600 in my freezer at tha moment from earlier in the year[/quote']You're alright 4tha, pretty sure you're well east of Cape Catastrophe, Pt Lincoln National Park ;)
    Pipi (Goolwa cockle) - restricted to four times the recreational bag limit (400 for pipi located west of longitude 136E, 1200 pipi in other areas).
  5. post less

    Maybe you should take your own advice?If members want to share information, which this forum is all about after all, they are free to do so.Attacking members for sharing information however is not on. There are no big secrets being divulged here, no need to get your knickers in a knot mate.
  6. Well I forfeit the right to win any prizes being a staff member, so you don't have to beat me to win (or God for that matter as last time I checked he/she wasn't a member).Thought I'd just set the bar ;)In the game there are different fish that are worth more points, and you can catch more than one at a time and will only hook them as the hook is going up, so try and catch the ones at the bottom and hook more fish on the way up.The trout looking ones are worth 2000 (they are also the fastest and hardest to catch)KG looking ones are worth 1200the wrasse looking ones are worth 800angel fish ones worth 600and trevally looking ones worth 500bonus points for multiple fish.so get all the trouts and kgs and you're in with a chance ;)another tip, the boat actually can go off the screen and still catch the fish.

  7. nice job crispy, but I have to ask the more experienced dabbers out there, is something like this going to provide enough light?I only ask because the boats I have seen dabbing are usually lit up like christmas trees with huge overhead floodlights.I've only attempted dabbing a couple of times using big torches (the ones that use H4 headlights) with limited success.
