first step.. work out what is exported to other countries. and cut that from the pro licenses quota. as obvisouly we are not catching what australia needs there for we are taking more than required. if we are all for preserveing fish stock for australians then set a maximum exported quota. this country is renowned for raping itself to supply the rest of the world. AT OUR EXPENSE!

As long as you catch something worth photographing More drag marks in the sand would be good :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

PERSONAL BAG LIMITS are per personBOAT LIMITS are equiv to 3 personal bag limits as long as 3 or more people are on board. 2 people on board. you have 2x personal limits. 4 on board - combined total of 3 personal bag limits. is the general gist of it

greg have a chat to softy when next at work.. we use 7' 2-4kg sticks with a 2000 reel for chasing our freshies as well as whiting etc currently im running a Shimano Raider II with a daiwa excellor 2000. it has done the job on fish up to about 16lb so far. its a great little combo

im not against exports.. but surely if we are finding our numbers dropping in our local waters.. its the exports that should be cut back to feed our own nation first.. just my views. i just dont believe in raping our country to supply the rest of the worlds needs. when we injure our own nations ability to survive.goes with a lot of things.. imports/exports of oil/gas/seafood/citrus/automotive markets the list goes on..it really should come down to what is sustainable for AUSTRALIA not for the world.

to quote a past post.."Below Athelstone weir public access allowed,linear parkAthelstone weir to sixth creek junction ,SAFFA members fly fishing onlyunder license agreement with SAWater.Above sixth creek to playford bridge private property.Playford bridge upstream to kangaroo creek dam wall no access SAWater.Kangaroo creek and upstream drinking water catchment access denied SAWater.Caravan park cudlee creek private property.Above Cudlee creek mostly private property.Upstream from Cudlee creak junction is the Cudlee creek conservation park ,where public access is allowed (unsure if fishing is permitted)Further upstream is the Gumeracha wier where water is caught and diverted to milbrook reservoir.This and the water upstream is classed as drinking water catchment and access is denied.Basically most of the river is drinking water catchment even though some small sections run through private property and conservation park."hope this helps out a bit..

I grew up on the West Coast of the EP, i surf sailed water skied skin dived and fished most of my life there. so had a few run ins with sharks here and there.. Losing two mates to white pointers in a short time period put a downer on the water sports for a while. but there is one mate id surf any beach with.. this is Bellsa's story..i happened to be learning to surf on an old Vietnam era Step tail single fin board one day at a local beach 15km from my home town when i snapped off the fin.. and was unable to continue. Bellsa paddled in and offered me one of his boards from the back of his Troopy. i then went out and had the best session of my life. Bellsa then helped me out even more so by selling me the sweet little 6'4" Aloha Thruster i had borrowed for a princely sum of $50. Then proceed to teach me how to set the new fin and fibre glass it all back together again on my old board. nothing out standing so far..one day when surfing that same beach i was visited by a bronzie at about 7' so paddled in to the shore for a break. Bellsa and a few of the other lads came down a half hour later and asked about why i was on shore as they could see they waves where of good quality and well with in my limits. i told them about the shark. they analysed the surf and decided 8 pairs of legs in the water was better than 1 pair.. so we paddled out again. now comes the inspirational part..Bellsa and one of his mates where both surfing that break on another occaison. Bellsaz happened to be on shore at the time when he looked out and noticed his mate in the water in trouble. a large bronzie had taken a couple of bites of his thigh/chest and board. the board being between him and the shark we think was all that saved him. Bells ran straight back into that water paddled out the 100meteres or so and then dragged him to shore. raced him to hospital and saved his life. no thoughts of that shark what so ever. it was his mate in trouble and he did the only thing he could think of. SAVE HIM!the shark snapped a few teeth off in the board and from this day from what i can remember. that board is wall mounted with the shark bite prominently on display. when i left that township.. i left my 6'4 aloha, my 6'2 aloha, my 7'1 step tail and my 9'6 Kobi Malibu with Bellsa.. knowing if i ever went back.. id always be able to go for a surf with one of the best blokes in town. to this day.. he still surfs those same breaks.. i hope one day to join him on a wave once again..

my favourite is to fillet with scales on. skin the fillet. then slice down the centre line of the fillet creating 2 pieces remove all the blood meet from both sideswhack in a bag of flour with a few secret herbs and spicesbit of egg and then some bread crumbs fry in a pani had two professional chefs laugh at me and tell me they hate salmon.. till i served it up.. the came back for seconds and thirds.. ;)while on a out back tour i fed this same meal to english/kiwi/ducth and aussies.. and had the plate cleaned up with out a trace..

Yellowfin vs silver whitingReports from Fishcare Volunteers suggest some less experienced fishers are having trouble telling the difference between yellow fin whiting (Sillago schomburgkii) and silver whiting (Sillago bassensis).The two are closely related but can generally be distinguished apart by the colour of the body and fins.The body of the yellowfin whiting is a sandy yellow colouring with the pectoral, dorsal and anal fins a light yellow colour.The body of the silver whiting or school whiting is a light olive colour on top and white below separated by a longitudinal silvery stripe.Yellowfin whiting has a minimum size limit of 24cm and a daily bag limit of 20 and a boat limit of 60. Silver whiting has no size or catch limits but fishers are encouraged to take only what they need.
