Yeah I was reading this earlier today. If you read things like this page http://www.dpti.sa.gov.au/recboatingfacilities it makes it sound like the levy money is put in some special fund that can't be touched other than for facilities....What do you think has happened with the money? (in bold below) :)Relevant legislation relating to the Facilities Levy Fund:Harbors and Navigation Regulations 2009
Harbors and Navigation Act 1993

little bit small but... (I erased the faces, pixelated anyway).I was obviously focused on the shark and not the shirtless guys... coz there's three of them in the picture lol and its not as dark as I remember.But there it is, from facebook (nothing you upload is ever truely gone).So no, the lighting was not fudged.

Guy on the left is definitely the guy on the adelaidenow pic (look at his shorts, plus yellow line on overhead).The adelaidenow pic is on a different angle, looks to be taken on a phone (bit blurry) and my guess from standing height. Like by a passer-by...Picture was put on facebook yesterday. No exif data to confirm date taken etc.No mention of location on the facebook page. This pic was the profile pic of someone who is a member here, he's not responding on facebook, but I've directed him here if he wants to share any info etc.

"Adelaide Land Based Sharkers" or I think it was "SA land based fishing" had a very similar looking shark posted up on their facebook page just days ago (but with a bunch of guys sporting dredlocks posing with the shark, pretty sure at least one is a member here) but it has since been taken down. The picture was a lot darker ;)My guess is same shark, could be wrong (probably am, don't recall a shirtless tattooed guy in the pic).ALBS care to comment further?

The only shark fishing related shark attacks would be the fishers getting bitten by their capture

I was having a poke around on the BOM site and came across this gem.Boating Weather Series - Wind Waves Weather - South AustraliaIt appears to be a free book that was published back in 1998 that goes into detail about understanding local weather patterns etc. interesting read.we all rely so much on online weather forecasts now, I bet hardly anyone knows how to read a synoptic chart

ah they soon come back, they might look a little different, but still the same old fish.I picked this trick up from an old friend of mine, he's an undertaker, but thats another story :)I swear by it, give it a crack.

Would be interesting to see graphs of just the number of trips in each condition as well as fish caught to see some correlations between number of trips and fish caught . Like the high pressure I bet there are more trips In these conditions as generally a high brings little wind therefore more outings.

it looks more like my air guitar.

Do the same thing PS, thumb measure, after a while you don't even need to measure because you just know what is definitely legal.also keep an eye out for stingrays, lots down there. i was kneeling in the wash with my back to the sea digging away and had a bloody stingray swim over my legs sucking up the cockles that were rushing through my legs! never have i gotten up so fast in my life, would have been a sight to see

Dan,I also measured my thumb from joint 1 to joint 2 and its 38mm so just held each cockle to my thumb. Saved fumbling around for the measure for any that I wasn't sure were legal. It was our first time last Nov, pulled up at the main carpark walked straight out from there, 45 mins later me & "G" had over 400. But don't turn ya back on the waves, we got pummelled.Andrew

Just to confirm the confirmation of others…Thanks to Kingsley and Spotter for their information – absolutely correct.As has been said, these crab nets are not legal to use in SA.http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/fisheries/recreational_fishing/fishing_gear/permitted_devicesIf you cannot find a device listed in our Permitted Devices – it means that it is not permitted to be used.TroyFisheries Officer

@ Dan1They are a Mud Crab Trap.They are illegal to use in SA waters.They are not illegal to sell in SA because you may wish to purchase them if you are going away to the states that they are legal to use.We have them in stock as they are advertised in our National Catalogues.You as the user must be aware at all times what you are allowed or not allowed to use.We tell our customers that they are not legal. That is our choice, but if the customer chooses to use them than that is their choice.

depends how big they are :Pdollar wise, its probably only just worth it, depending on your fuel use. if you count your time spent however....when i went last I took my gf and her friend, we got our 900. when I bagged them up I put 75 cockles in each bag giving me 12 bags... so if I went alone I would have got 4 bags. each bag weighs roughly 500g (maybe more). so thats about $30-$40 worth for a one person effort.how much fuel would you burn? how much time would you spend? do you count it as a fun day out collecting cockles by yourself?I'd say don't bother for only one persons quota, gather up some friends and some kids etc and make it a fun day out.

I'm going to target actually getting out for a fish for once.a trip to salt creek may also be on the cards as I've never been and I want to see if I can roll my hilux lol

Reckon tonyb means the fisheye lens on the gopro makes your rod look like it has a constant bend in it, hence banana rod. could be wrong?But nah, your rods always bent because theres a massive fish on the end

I'm not sure I understand the big hooha about the NZ fur seals.They are naturally found in Australian waters, they are called NZ fur seals because that's where you find most of them.They were in huge numbers in Australia in early colonial days, hunted to near extinction by sealers (I've read 100,000 taken from KI, 300,000 taken from WA etc).I'm not sure why they have become so prolific compared to the sea lions, they have both had the same opportunities, maybe sea lions just don't get it on like the fur seals do :)anyway, so its the natural order of things, we kill the seals, other species thrive in a 'seal free' environment. we stop killing the seals they come back and have all this lovely food to eat (mmm tasty penguins etc). of course their numbers are going to explode, but like all things in nature, if it gets out of control something will come along to correct it (more predators, lack of food etc).in short, we stuffed it up, its fixing itself, if we try to 'fix' the 'problem' we will just end up ballsing it up again.let nature take its course.
