Hi fellas. Here's a pic of my best metro mully caught just b4 I sold my cuddy cab a little while back. Over the 50lb mark. These fish don't come easy but magic can happen for those who persist. I just hope my new boat is lucky also. Cheers

Took these couple of photos yesterday not long after sunrise, was a little late getting the camera out and the sun burnt the mist off quicker than I could get out in the back yard..
Any way decided I'll use these as a test photo on the new upgrade.... Wow !! it's a quick upload which is great and much easier to use...
cheers

We are getting off the topic imo but here is my say.
We do need change, yes but in SA that is a slow process and not at all realistic let alone guaranteed. IMO
We all need to discussed opions here but we need to do it with respect to others as we are all amateur fisho's with a common interest.
Sure we have different views but no need the attack fellow members. Not a good look IMO.
In Vic they have a fishing show on tv that I have seen from time to time, in SA not so and the reason is we do not have population to warrant it, nor the backing from the government (they are closing ch 44)
I feel more polies should get out fishing and realize that they can, relax, clear their heads and see what life has to offer on the wet H20.
Licence ? Yes and No ?
Yes if it helps us, the regular rec fisherperson and makes us heard but we see where our money is spent. Also have a body in the govt that is pro-active for us all and is accountable to all question to stakeholders (us) be that where monies are spent and visions moving on.
No because I (imo) do not trust this govt as they could see the money spent elsewhere. Also what about the mums and dads that go away with the grand parents, children, cousin's and so on for a seaside holiday ? They need a licence or face a fine, remember this is a once in a year trip. That makes it great for the government but what about the family and if they get caught without a licence ? Holiday over and sowed but something they were not aware they need.
Cheers
PS KS and Doobie you can come over for a fish on my boat, it is big enough.

Yeah, true Jayman, we shouldn't blame all netters for the sake of a few idiots.
And for those few idiots they 'generally' get off with a slapped wrist, which is no deterrent to them doing something wrong again or for those others to keep trying to get away with doing wrong.

The more calls to ban netting in our areas certainly needs to continue.
just hoping one day that the authorities will take notice to the voices.
Voted too, and at the moment .... Yes 88.47% (2,763) / No 11.53% (360) ... (Total 3,123)

Most would know about this topic and most would have seen the article. Have you voted 'YES' or 'NO' to the call to ban sea nets in the Gulf of St Vincent? You can find the poll on the article page and also view the results.

Calls to ban sea nets after thousands of dead fish found dumped off Ardrossan jetty CRAIG COOK, The Advertiser October 11, 2017 7:01pm
THOUSANDS of dead fish dumped by the BHP jetty at Ardrossan have caused outrage among recreational fishermen.
The Advertiser has been told the catch of around 400kg of Australian salmon was released by a commercial fisherman based at Stansbury when his nets snagged on the jetty.
Danny Simpson, executive director of Recfish SA, that took video of the dead fish lying in shallows, said his members “strongly condemn†the dumping.
â€He appears to have dumped them there and just disappeared which we regard as a pretty irresponsible act.†he said.
“From our perspective this is outrageous behaviour and why we want to see sea nets removed from Gulf St Vincent.â€
He questioned why the fisherman was netting so close to shore.
“We want to know why he was apparently netting in front of the jetty of a major Yorke Peninsula township,†he added.
Still grab of part of the huge fish catch seen at the bottom of the Ardossan Jetty.
The Marine Fishers Association (MFA), representing the interests of South Australia’s 300 Marine Scalefish Fishery (MSF) statutory licence holders, said one of its members was responsible for the dumping.
MFA executive officer, Nathan Bicknell, said in a Facebook statement that “gear failure†and the operator’s decision to “operate outside industry norms†were to blame.
Clarifying the statement, Mr Bicknell told The Advertiser: “The operator’s decision was to keep his whole catch and that’s how he got himself into mischief.
“There’s nothing illegal in what he did but there is strong peer pressure to do the right thing.â€
Chief executive of Yorke Peninsula Council, Andrew Cameron, who lives in Ardrossan said he was seeking more information from staff in the town but was “extremely disappointed†with such “irresponsible behaviourâ€.
RecSA member David Bryant posted on Facebook:
“Absolutely disgusting, remove his netting license, problem solved, total disregard for our marine life and local fishers. This behavior (sic) is way too common from netters. I call to ban all netting in any areas close and around our gulfs. Absolutely horrifiedâ€
Tragic waste ... around 400kg of prized Australian salmon, similar to the one above, was released by a commercial fisherman when his nets snagged on the jetty.
A statement from the Department of Primary Industries and Regions said: “PIRSA received reports regarding a significant number of dead Western Australian salmon near the southern Ardrossan jetty on Monday and dispatched fisheries officers to the area to make inquiries to determine the cause and circumstances.
“The commercial fisher responsible subsequently identified himself and has assisted fisheries officers with their inquiries.
“Based on the available information, it appears that a combination of gear failure and poor fishing practices resulted in the unintended release of part of a school of salmon caught by the fisher about 300 metres from the BHP jetty.
“We understand the fisher initially unsuccessfully attempted to retrieve all of the released fish and has since returned to the area to collect what fish he can.
“Although a rare occurrence, PIRSA is none the less disappointed with this incident and will continue to work closely with industry to ensure all fishers adopt best practice commercial fishing operations in SA.â€

doobie got a reaction from KIDNEY SLAPPER in squidding help
The only other thing to consider is water quality.
I had read/heard the water around Brighton was like 'mud' last week, so did the water look murky? Saying that, water should preferably be clearer for a better chance.
Yesterday on the Pt Noarlunga jetty, the water 'ok' but not clear - no-one (and there quite a few trying) caught a squid that I saw. However, on Sunday a few squid were caught.
