I saw a bunch at wallaroo last night but they weren't feeding, on gents anyway, but the tommies were easy. Garfish seem to feed most before noon

They will still make & will make shit loads of money. Most if not all exported to Sydney markets & or overseas for maximum profit. Unless longlining is stopped along with trawling, netting etc including the crab baron, then recs in SA will just get shafted. 

Recs produce Billions of dollars in revenue as compared to Pros who only make a small contribution but with maximum devastation by raping & pillaging SA waters. PIRSA here are just pathetic to say the least & thats being polite. Politicians appointed here to manage fisheries have absolutely no idea about what is happening & what has happened for decades. They are brainwashed by PIRSA & go along with the flow. No one is prepared to rock the boat.    

I meant they don't make money from recreational fishermen catching snapper because they eat it themselves, as opposed to selling it elsewhere, but sure they profit from recreational fishermen in other ways.

Catching plenty legal ones as a bycatch when chasing whiting. All have to be put back. Snapper starts early next year but probably with a severe rec limit. Almost not worth while chasing at all - while the Pros quota increases. Bloody idiots here in SA.

They don't make money when people catch their own
