Time for the greenies to stop feeding their cats n dogs, budgies and anything that ain't human.....we can't have natural feeding patterns altered by these enviro marxists now can we?Who want's to prepare a media release? TB

Gotta luv the reference to sunken trawlers.... :S http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/article/2012/03/30/316941_news.htmlTB

When every activity that involves contact with the environment outside of 'city walls' are gone.....what will the greenies do then?Perhaps this is their next move lol....

In the last few years especially I have released far more fish than I have ever taken. Carp and other introduced species excluded!I am 100% certain that a very high percentage have survived.TB

The professionals trying to manipulate science. Good old commercial steering committees are not fond of reccies....http://www.fishingworld.com.au/news/the-real-facts-on-mulloway TB

Luv the video well done!TB

Thanks all....feel like an expert on them already now?TB

Thanks for the responses all....my mate caught one at Marion Reef last weekend and I thought it may have been a harlequin species we had never seen before initially.TB

Blue devil....http://www.theartgallery.com.au/davidglennie/dive_victoria/blue_devil_fish/index.htmlAnyone else ever caught one of these?TB

Can't speak for every other fisher but if I landed a 'tagged' snapper I would take down the details, place the fish back in the water for more research and report the results to SAFTAG.TB

Great research through funding....http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/fisheries/science-and-research/tracking-snapper-in-port-phillip-bayTB

Hopefully the tide is turning and Pollies are realising we vote Yes Fishie...Labor in NSW lost almost every coastal seat last state election. The Fishers and Shooters Party gained many sitting members as well. More than the greens.Now that is sending a message!TB

Just a few questions I see evident in this statement:What is this marine infrastructure and water authority? What is it's aim and purpose?Why wont there be any environmental studies performed prior to dredging and disposal? Surely this is a prerequisite for any proposed project of this magnitude?Should cost blowout (as normally happens) does that then mean less in the kitty for proposed pontoons, boat ramps and artificial reef construction, or will more dollars then be forthcoming to ensure these projects still go ahead?It sounds to me like a very broad statement, with little forethought, and

If I've read and interpreted it correctly it's the St Kilda/Chapman Creek Aquatic Reserve' date=' and certainly off limits to everything except "Hand' date=' crab rake or hoop net for the taking of blue crabs only."http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/fisheries/recreational_fishing/closures/aquatic_reserves_and_marine_parksI trust the other fisho you gained this information from has the registration number of the vessel and photographs?[/quote'']Thanks Ranger....I tought it may have been but wasn't sure?PIRSA have been contacted about this so lets hope something substancial is done about it.On another not

From another fisho.... I know there are about 4 pro netters that target Pt Parham area for yellowfin whiting with nets but is this area off limits?TB

I think the future fishing stategy in Victoria is a real concern. This was submitted to thier primary industries department.Note: See the first and only real citation at the bottom of this report. http://vnpa.org.au/admin/library/attachments/PDFs/Submissions/Sub-ACF-VNPA-Future%20Fishing%20Strategy%20Submission.pdfWell well....who would of thought another pro marine parks bible was reiterated almost word for word.Would you want to pay entry fees for access rights in the future without any well funded recreational sector? Then there is...... No place for it in the modern world? In NSW in 201

Ha....

Don't let the riff raff follow you lol....Great club it's just those 20 cent size mozzies in summer that suck....litterally!

Any new tide can bring success talbo....the pro's don't always have their lines in at the right times either.A spot could get hammered for two weeks. Then the following tide after the pro's have gone can still yield a good reccie session. Such a trend would rarely be sustainable long term though.TB
