    OnkaStompa 2017 was off to an early start yesterday as it always is. A total of around 238 entrants and approximately 298 in attendance. It was a hot day but people still came out and enjoyed a family day of fishing and fun.
    The total raised throughout the year and announced on the day was $24,760 with that number to be topped up a little when every last cent was counted. Well the grand total ended up being an astounding $25,181.60.
    The official results...
    Champion - Brett Haslett Bream 44.5cm and Mens Title
    Women - Lisa Solly Bream 28cm
    Junior - Christina Fontanot 39.5cm
    Mulloway - Caleb Maunder 61.5cm
    Other Fish Senior - Peter Hayesman Mullet 35cm
    Other Fish Junior - Beatrice Nash Mullet 24.5cm
    The BBQ although a bit quiet compared to other years went well with the Strike Hook crew at the helm. Just look at this bunch of legends!
    We have Kidney Slapper, Myself, Southie the Banger, Doobie and The Fishing Guru who was an official on the day. A huge thank you to the guys for helping out with the BBQ and continuing the Strike Hook BBQ tradition.

    Nigel another legend who has helped at the Bunnings BBQs couldn't make it but still managed to drop in and drop off a very well received frozen drink for us.

    While in the BBQ area most of the time, I tried to get out and take a few pics of what else was going on during the day. A few of natures freakiest creatures made an appearance and one of the locals decided it was too boring and just slept all day.





    It was great to be part of and so good to put the feet up afterwards.

    I agree to an extent because I see them regularly working in 2's and twice in 3's with the netter that joined ranks from Pt Wakefield.

    Correct, but we do need to weed out the bad apples and follow the law and prosecute them and it appears to be one family over here on Yorks sad to say. They got driven out of the other gulf 6 months ago. So lets move on and see where this journey takes us and work together.

    All good points of view in a proactive opinion. I myself normally do not bag out as why. Fish do not taste the same when frozen for 2 months or so. and crabs are good for 3 days (got 14 today raking) Snapper I like the 60cm size and only 2, once I have 2 I come in as I have ticked the box. I feel go catch what you need and enjoy the journey so you forward for the next time. I am fortunate that the wet stuff is right there.
     
    Changing the subject.....HUGE schools of SALMON are close to shore atm here, magic site as I saw them from the balcony and while raking. Spun me out.

    I like your thinking, but I'm curious to understand whether rec fisherman think they are part of the problem too?
     
    I mean, if rec fisherman are really really concerned about fish stocks and them being depleted, why dont they stop trying to catch fish too?
     
    I just take the simplistic view, that no matter whose taking the fish, and no matter how many you're taking, so long as you're taking them your not helping fish stocks either. Perhaps people see it differently than I do?
     
    I guess my point is that there's good merit in your suggestion, but if we really want fish stocks to recover and recover quickly then perhaps recs and the commercial guys should leave them alone?

    .....just something further:
     
    I for one have changed my fishing habits. No longer do I sit for hours on end chasing Snapper for example. If I don't catch my target fish after a certain time according to my records, solunar tables & other methods, then I move on to target another species & so on. At the moment I am still able to get a feed on most occasions but it certainly is not like it was many years ago. I to like eating fresh fish rather than buying. People who do not fish, well, unfortunately they have to buy, but surely we can still have fresh fish caught in our country available to buy can't we?.

    I still say ban all nets, long lining & crabbers in our gulfs. Both need to recover for 1 year, 2 years, more?..I don't know that answer. Can we not get our fresh fish from WA or Pt Lincoln or the top end for example? Maybe not?. Surely it is extremely obvious that fish stocks in the gulfs are heavily depleted so why keep pussy footing around & act immediately. Too much talk & very little action for a long time now. Although SAFA & Recfish are constantly pushing the issue, there is still no resolve to the matter. It just seems that nothing will be done until it is too late or maybe not even then. 
     
    Resources in this state have just totally been stuffed up over the years & this matter is no different.

    We are getting off the topic imo but here is my say.
     
    We do need change, yes  but in SA that is a slow process and not at all realistic let alone guaranteed. IMO
     
    We all need to discussed opions here but we need to do it with respect to others as we are all amateur fisho's with a common interest.
    Sure we have different views but no need the attack fellow members. Not a good look IMO.
    In Vic they have a fishing show on tv that I have seen from time to time, in SA not so and the reason is we do not have population to warrant it, nor the backing from the government (they are closing ch 44)
    I feel more polies should get out fishing and realize that they can, relax, clear their heads and see what life has to offer on the wet H20. 
    Licence  ?  Yes and No  ?
     
    Yes if it helps us, the regular rec fisherperson and makes us heard but we see where our money is spent. Also have a body in the govt that is pro-active for us all and is accountable to all question to stakeholders (us) be that where monies are spent and visions moving on. 
     
    No because I (imo) do not trust this govt as they could see the money spent elsewhere. Also what about the mums and dads that go away with the grand parents, children, cousin's and so on for a seaside holiday ? They need a licence or face a fine, remember this is a once in a year trip. That makes it great for the government but what about the family and if they get caught without a licence ? Holiday over and sowed but something they were not aware they need.

    PS  KS and Doobie you can come over for a fish on my boat, it is big enough.

    In theory the blanket banning of nets and any other types of commercial fishing sounds really good..... for rec fisherman.  Hell, I'm sure the fishing would even be better for me at my favourite spots if other recs were banned from them too....except for me of course!
     
    But without commercial fisherman I'm not sure how anyone who isn't a rec fisher will get to eat fresh, local fish?  Perhaps everyone else, but us, will be happy to eat the imported stuff....?
     
    In all seriousness what is needed is a pragmatic approach to share the resource between the commercial sector, and recreational fishers.  As alluded by RJ, infighting, emotive shit slinging and finger pointing between recs and pro's isn't working and won't improve the situation long term for either group in my humble opinion.
