lifelong fisho, started work at the queen Victoria markets as a fish monger, before i even started school i was working as a monger and often fished past midnight every night as a child, before i even started school from Frankston to Seaford most nights as a 5 year old i was out there spotlighting - surface spearfishing flathead, flounder, supplies for market never failed once 

often shot large lizards of pb status daily, trap set netting, garfish and squid from shore, in large car tyres car battery mods floating spotlights and could basically trawl fish from the shore ''spotlight angle netting they call it' 

somewhere between giant oversize cast nets mixed with trawl netting methods approx. 50 meter nets  -- micro trawls and i had explicit permission very few of us were allowed to...  most of the seafood at the markets at the time was fresher then fresh and caught local by me mostly me and i was a child...  i was a child immigrant. Refugee from the war of independence i had special perks and permissions 

i was seafood markets crew. a pro monger before year 2. 

i learnt to do everything professionally as a die hard from a very young age i had crew responsibility for quotas.

and had to field dress/ prep for markets ..experience is second to none.  

to this very day i go spearfishing solo midnight launchs down outer harbour go play with the hammer heads and dive for green cray or tag trevally, keeps me close to my fond memories of the markets and how good that training, lifestyle and employment was.
