A one hour battle but the squid won. http://t.nbcnews.com/science/squid-vs-fish-deep-sea-vehicle-captures-epic-undersea-battle-2D11926340TB

Fair enough Nanman but I dispute your terminology somewhat.'Silly' only because the social media dim wits are unable to be rational about it. Now that is the really silly aspect.'Slaughter' is that really the best term? Its not an act of genocide or destructive overfishing.Thats true TB perhaps the term "slaughter" was a bit melodramatic!! Social media is what it is though therefore its important for recreational fishers to consider whether their photos would likely be considered to be in poor taste by the masses before posting them up for all to see.I read a few comments about shark attacks

It's the same haters that dictate policy to our state gov and get away with it.

Good, scare the swimming population out of the water and then we can all carry on fishing and boating. They want more marine life but don't want to see any of it when their in the water go figure? :silly:

Tony,When was wynn vale dam ever closed to rec fishing?TB

All these people throwing themselves into a foreign environment full of dangers. But want the gov to pay?http://m.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/south-australian-government-cuts-funding-for-helicopter-shark-patrols/story-fni6uo1m-1226771711248

How can you chase sharks weekdays if you can't have a bait in till 9pm ? We can't fish the hour b4 sundown and onwards which would be the time and then in the morning you can't fish first light so not sure how they are the times sharkers operateFishing is to be conducted in a manner similar to prostitution. We all know it happens but just don't let anyone see you doing it.....

Tony, those regs have been the case for the last 12 months.

Yep agreed. Just for clarification that's part of the definition, not my wording.

How do we ban rip tides? They kill more swimmers than sharks.....http://newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science/rips-bigger-killer-other-natural-hazards

Thankfully we have rec fishers out there being the eyes and ears of the ocean. No-one will be if us reccies are all banned by the zealots.http://www.fishingworld.com.au/news/curse-of-the-gill-netsTB

I used to fish browns beach a fair bit back in the early nineties. The biggest salmon were usually between late September to December.Largest I can recall weighing was 13.47 pounds or 6.1kgs.TB

Luv fishing locks. We only got large salmon trouties last time I was there but they were still fun on light gear with lures.Great 'slamon' @ 5.8kgs.Well done!

Sorry to hear you are not well wisdom.I don't think anglers care about the history or where the money comes from. Lets face it, the boat levy either doesn't get used or parts of it disappear.If the cash is there then use it and end the rot....

May be waiting for a day for that one I suspect. :whistle:

I couldn't give a rats razoo about the history. It's the outcome of this mess that needs fixing.Reading all the crap stored in Sarfac, pirsa or most other organisations dusty safes would be a waste of my life.Send a quick email off to Tom Kousantonis and tell him to stop saving all the revenue to pay off his speeding fines so we can keep the ramp going!
