  1. Speaking to a counterpart in WA, they don’t just have a Snapper ban to abide by, they have a full demersal fishing ban: http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/Fishing-and-Aquaculture/Recreational-Fishing/Recreational-Fishing-Rules/Bag_And_Size_Limits/Pages/Demersal-Finfish.aspx Amazingly, the sky hasn’t fallen, when not in ban they can now find enough fish to rustle up a feed and the stocks seem to be coming back. Can image the outcry if that was implemented here!! I’ve seen countless post’s on social media saying how “ I will just bag on Nannies instead” or find some Sharks et
  2. Good points RJ and Kon, as always, on point!! You covered a whole lot of concerns and realityt that I’m sure many haven’t even thought about but will very well be part of reality. In regards to elected members to sit on the council: Last I read, The forum being included couldn’t agree on who was suitable to run for the council, they didn’t have a suitable female amongst their ranks, and their loyal leader is too busy collecting benefits and running the forum to do anything else. They only had one person locked in, and he isn’t exactly a local. As
  3. Dave, I’ll take your bait, simply because you asked nicely and asked for my opinion (not that it matters). My reply will also be way of topic. I don’t have an affiliation with any of these groups, I just don’t like seeing people get mislead with blanket statements and fake news. I see a lot of hypocrisy in these topics, and people taking the kudos for stuff they haven’t done, and counting chickens well before they’ve hatched. Ultimately , the egg ends up on their face and like many before them, they fade away, never to be seen again. In regards to the to
  4. So you didn't block me, you had "admin" block me, but some how you don't know who I am.....If that the case, how can you be sure your admin blocked me? You make zero sense. and as per usual going on some tangent instead of focusing on the question at hand. The fact remains RecFish are still the peak body (initial question asked of this thread), and the liberal government have confirmed Recfish have a valid contract till next year. The libs have again said they are looking at forming some form of council with the exact details yet to be confirmed. But Yelliwtail, please be sur
  5. Hating? I'm just pointing out the facts Graham!! What is this curtain you speak off? This is the internet mate, we use handles on Forums. You'd know exactly who am if you hadn't blocked me on social media where again you refused to answer any questions I posed to you. I wait to see your notes from this meeting!! Good luck
  6. Um,not quite You nor RecfishCentral represent ANYONE on ANY Council at this point in time. You’ve just posted another promotional political article published in a small newspaper about the same concept that’s been spruiked pre election. The liberals havnt firmed anything up other than the fact RecFish are still the peak body and have a valid contract till next year. By all means tho, please do check in and let us know when something actually happens.
  7. Hows this working out for you Mr Keegan? Supposedly 277,000 Anglers have an invested interest in this situation, you claim to represent how many of them? Whats the update from SAFA? RecfishCENTRAL who claim to represent .08% of them has come out with the attached "media release" admitting he and his members may have very well been shafted libs_break_policy.pdf
  8. pretty close to 100 days since elected.... No official communication from anybody with any clout. No changes in regards to anything. All I've seen is some delayed generic response letters sent to Recfish Central and SAFA saying that the government still value rec fishing.... At this stage looks like it was all pre-election political spin
  9. The official pre election policy statement is in the below link, any thing else is hearsay as far as I'm concerned Again, this was PRE ELECTION. Again, (happy to be proven wrong) I can't see it anywhere being stated as being implemented within 100 days of taking office. https://www.stevenmarshall.com.au/representation_for_recreational_and_commercial_fishers https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/liberalpartyofaustralia/pages/4920/attachments/original/1511994352/POLICY_RECREATIONAL_FISHING_COUNCIL.pdf?1511994352 Of note, I see PIRSA will be for the better word, the gate
  10. Truth? All I'm seeing is a pre-election pamphlet knocked up by the Liberals outlining what they "promise" to do if elected!! Anybody who thinks that a government intends to or in fact can realistically deliver on all election promises is delusional. I, like the rest of this forum will wait and see if this re-structure actually happens, and if so, anything good comes of it.
  11. LOL, Feel free to link on here any slandering I’ve done Graham… just pointing out facts that’s all. By the way, give a rats what you or any other facebook/forum admin think of me.
  12. Cos everything on facebook is the truth .... Election policy/promises one thing, legislation changes once in government are a very different animal. Its concerning your trying to make this out to be something that's its not, yet. By all means, try and hold them accountable to the promises they made to you, but honesty and transparency will go along way to gaining any credibility amongst us.
  13. That "media release" is nothing more than some soap boxing from those within a forum admin group and a couple self proclaimed advisory groups. Until I see an official release from some one within the new government I wont believe a word from any of the people quoted in that badly structured and amateur onlne PDF. We've had a new government for all of 2 days, I'm sure right at the top of their priority is to address recreational fishing politics hahaha
  14. I’ve never found them to descriminate, yesty they ate 3 different divers n the biggest went the skirt in the motor wash . Hardest part of tuna fishing is finding them, the rest is easy.
  15. Wow, finger on the pulse you have, only took you a month to reply on such a hot topic. A reach of 70,000!! your kidding your self mate. Even if true, that's still only 3% of our states population. I bet if I stood at a pontoon on any given Saturday and asked 20 people launching a boat if they know who SAFA or RecFish Central are, Id get 19 blank looks. My bet is the one person that may know of you , would then admit they don't know of anything you guys have achieved for the greater good of Rec's. But hey, at least your trying right? As for slagging off at others? Your the one th
  16. Relax fellas, I believe SAFA and Recfish Central have it all under control !! I mean SAFA last updated their website in 2015, and with their strong social media presence, large membership numbers, and how much they have already done, clearly things are looking up . Add Recfish Central's inspiring u tube videos coercing Politian's to listen to the 240'000 rec's in south Australia and the Snapper will have no choice but just jump into my boat this summer..
  17. As per usual RJ, you speak truth and apply commonsense. The silent majority agree with you bud 👍
  18. Looks like he will give it a shot: http://www.alanhawk.com/reviews/reviews.html
  19. Thanks for that, don't spend much time on Facebook, and if that's all they have, I'm not surprised I missed it. The page looks really slow in terms of social media, just a whole heap of copy and pasted articles with not much else. The preparations for tonites forum also look rather lack lustre from the few comments on there!! Oh well, good work to those that have spent time doing something constructive in regards to this, what ever their opinion is.
  20. Good work on taking the initiative B crusher. Question begs, what ever happened to SAFA, did they even eventuate? I havnt seen anything about them in relation to this issue or others. This time last year there was a whole heap of talk about the next big thing in representation, backing $$$$ from the commercial sector, big new premises.

    This company has made a few "green" blunders in its time: http://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/2874663/port-wave-generator-removal-set-for-mid-2015/ The federal government gave them a nice grant ,only to have them stuff it up: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/latest/oceanlinx-wave-energy-developer-goes-bankrupt/story-e6frg90f-1226871245413 http://arena.gov.au/project/oceanlinx-1mw-commercial-wave-energy-demonstrator/ some nice structure underneath!!

    Shame it's so shallow, dare say it will still get fish around it if left long enough. Is it floating or anchored to the bottom?

    Understand that, the company was in huge debt before this venture, went into receivership cos of this but have since been bought out. This is the second venture of theirs to sink, Port Kembla has a much bigger one a couple hundred metres off shore
