Chief reacted to Poppa Snake in Some governments seem to be working FOR their people May 10, 2017

Hey bratko, no offence taken. I just thought it was interesting how their government wants more people fishing. Our seems to be heading the other way. Maybe they see the economic value in us???

Chief reacted to SaltyFlyer in Bream Lures - Trebles vs In-line single hooks March 27, 2017

I have managed to get some very small inline hooks, which I have put on my small HB's for whiting, Work a treat.

I grabbed a few packs of them from size 1 down to size 10, all proper inline hooks. Will need to go and look at the brand, so you could see if some of the fishing gear sponsors can get them for you.

I did buy these online, but was a local bloke, who actually hand delivered them to me...saved postage, as he was in the area.

I think he is down south .. ??

Will get back to this for you.

Chief reacted to Tacklebags in so you want a rec fishing license? March 2, 2017

With all due respect bratko, even under a ring fence trust fund account, monies are spent based on committee decisions which are overseen/signed off by the Minister of the day.

Such monies can be used for better survey and catch data, tangible enhancement of fishing infrastructure, direct fish stock enhancement and better policing etc which may assist in advocacy but it's not for dictating to government.

Chief reacted to jaffa in so you want a rec fishing license? March 2, 2017

Unless fishing licences raise enough to fix the pollution of Upper GSV by Bolivar treatment works then IMO it`s just another waste of time/money/effort. Sick to death of it. We treat the damn gulf which is the most important breeding area in the state like a sewer & then wonder why we`ve got issues/problems. Fishing effort by rec`s & commercials alike has dropped since I was a youngster, it is far more "managed/regulated" now than it has ever been, decreased bag limits, fewer anglers, increased size limits BUT WE`RE STILL GOING BACKWARDS, IF YOU BELIEVE THE SCIENCE. WHY ? Could it be the experts/advisors are not focusing on the real cause of the problem ? I have mainly fished the area from NH/OH north to Goannas for 50+ years as rec & commercial fisherman & it`s like desert nowadays. I have also been an avid scuba diver/snorkeller. Large rocks that held massive schools are almost devoid of anything these days, including baitfish, I see the same thing everywhere these days with underwater cameras & top of the line sounders. I have a huge number of grounds in the Pt Gawler/Goannas area that are almost barren/rarely have any fish (kgw) on `em. The rocks are still there, the sea-floor isn`t torn up, the corkweed etc all appears to be intact, so what`s going on ? There appears to be a lot of smothering/low growing weed like a carpet over the top of a lot of the bottom up that way. Have even seen it out 12 miles offshore on an area my old man took me to as a kid. Am told by marine biologists that it`s a result of too many/much nutrients in the water, & it originates from Bolivar. So the Gov`t knows, but is broke (as with all Labor Gov`ts) & in order to be seen to be doing something/score a few cheap political points they up size limits & reduce bag limits etc etc periodically & still we`re go backwards. They won`t do anything about Bolivar coz they`ve got no money, & they know it`ll cost squillions & then decades for the gulf to recover after they fix the pollution, & they`d rather spend it on stuff that is visible like new ovals,hospitals etc, "feel good stuff" that they can then say "I / We built that, aren`t we good, this is my legacy" to buy election results. Upgrading or building a new Sewage Treatment Plant is not going to buy them a lot of votes so they keep on with the same old same old until there`s no fish left. SO FOR ME, THEY CAN STUFF A REC FISHING LICENCE WHERE THE SUN DON`T SHINE COZ IT WILL NOT MAKE ONE IOTA OF DIFFERENCE IMO.
