love the lil bighters... very very tastey!

a couple of very deliberate attempts to avoid detection and to ignore the laws. not a chance they can plead ignorance.. throw the book at them..

nor probs.. im keen to do it myself..

yes. using the method of BUBBLE floats.plenty of info about them on here and also on google..

absolutely love my Snyder 8144.. 20pound blue gropers off the rocks.. big rays of the beaches.. its done me well... the Daiwas.. look sexcy... but dont own one. ill leave the comparisons to others..

i fish from shore predominantly.. so a light running sinker hook above hook below.. and when real calm and glassy.. no sinker at all.. just the hooks swivels and bait.. guess all the paternoster rids are generally jetty/boat fishers?

you can how ever post on this one..http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/the-federal-governments-banning-of-the-super-trawler-abel-tasman-is-a-flawed-action/story-e6frea83-1226474796925

ive waded out a few times to chuck lures.. but thats just taking it too far..

love the fact none of the recent Trawler news links can be commented on.. suppressing the tidal wave of anger in the general public??

been a while since we seen ya around mate.. still fishing the lake hard??

my biggest issues wasInternationally ownedInternationally staffedFish caught processed on board by overseas workers.and all fish sold internationallyall profits are overseas.id also like to see the so called 40 aussie jobs? the ship is already fully operational it doesnt need fisherman?we were actually going to subsidise their freight costs too???where does Australia benefit from this??

storage is one thing.. how do you ask a snook nicely not to chew on your lure

my GFs Dutch.. ive told her i only caught one pike.. its not fair she sends this monster across here.. she can keep her stupid boats..

at $1 a kg...

and benny comes outta nowhere with the answer... good work mate!

love this quote from that link AFF" Until now we haven't taken any direct action against the foreign fishermen. Once we took the captain from one of the vessels and we beat him around the balls."

the bill has passed! the trawler is officially banned for 2 years!

from my understanding a full grown 350kg bull sealion can swim to depths of 100 odd meters and maintain his fishing for up to about 12 minutes. the females are around 8minutes. Sealions often hunt between 80-120km offshore. hunting for 4 days and then returning to shore for 4 days rest. since the Ship cannot hunt in Sealion Feeding/hunting areas and the population of 13,000 ( yes almost extinct) stretches from Geraldton WA to Victor Harbor SA. this ship should there for be banned from WA to SA with in 120km of shore..

some nice pics mate. tripod and long exposures?

looks like i spoke a bit soon

it has been stated that there has been 7 years of negotiations and behind the scenes deals and discussions prior to the arrival.. id assume with the labour government in power..the objections are now from the Coalition. LIbrals..the laws need to be fail safe if they are changed. to protect our fisheries but not allow total power of one man to decided who and when. there needs to be checklists in place before a total banning of a fishery is activated.

either way... is fn ugly.....

it wouldn't happen in 3rd world countries.. because there is no fish left in their waters for this rapist to pillage..
