Sorry guys, I won't be able to report on this now as there has been a Management change at SAFWAA and I felt I couldn't follow up on my previous management roles.

I've run Rovex braids for many years and as the colour is just a dye they put in, it will always fade with use :)BL**DY time outs

BTW Mark, how many Champions will be there do you know?

You must have a good boss Mark, letting you have a day off work Bl**dy luvvin this retirement gig See you there mate, mines a Coopers

No B&K, there are no Agendas, it is purely an invitation, from PIRSA, to the elected representatives of the rich and varied Membership which is SARFAC I will be wearing my SAFWAA Pres. Hat and our Vice Pres will be attending too.Naturally, we will be banging our drum as loudly as we can and our first priority will be to chase a decision on opening SA Water Reservoirs to the South Australian Recreational Fishing Community.With all the positives which have come from the last two rounds of Workshops, I'm very excited about a good outcome but there is still a long road to travel and please be

Hi All,Stage 3 of the Workshops is locked in for the 19th of this month (April)PIRSA have entitled it the "Engine Room". This is where all the previous plans and discussions should be worked through to make a final plan to mend the long held rifts between the Recreational Fishers and the Fisheries Management (PIRSA)PIRSA have a new Managing Director and we were introduced to him at the last SARFAC General Meeting. He was extremely positive in attitude with a strong desire to move issues along quickly which have stagnated in the past. Everybody will now be aware of the lifting of the Port river

Hi Troy, Just Devils Advocacy again, (He made me do it!)I've often tangled up a sand crab or two in my mullet rigs, especially when using a berley spring off the Jetty and also off the beach!Is the thrust of the legislation to protect the Crabs in the Sanctuary, bearing in mind the actual sanctuary zone is from the marked line on the jetty out to sea, or is there some other issue with council or others about using nets generally from the Jetty?If the legislation is to protect the Crabs, does this mean any taken as a bye catch by other legal means, need to be returned to the water?Cheers, Tony.

I reckon that's a cardboard cut out but I can't work out why you'd go to those lengths to paint and colour a crabby old "Mud Monster" on it :dry: How about making the next one with a 30 lb "Big Red" or even better, a 100kg Mully :silly:OR, DARE I say, a 2 kg redfin?

Hi BB,YFW are suckers for live shrimps and any Imitation of these should be a goer I've caught YFW's at the Onka Estuary on poppers which are also meant to represent shrimps darting about to escape predators! Good luck with it mate

Just got two words: "Public Liability!"

I'm glad I looked that link up as I was shocked to read that it is illegal to take beach worms from there and the Southport beach was the scene of my first clumsy attempts to catch my first bungum worm :ohmy: :ohmy: :ohmy:

Glanced at it in the Newsagents today and though it a bit pricy at nearly 20 bucks for an almanac, but it does have a few GPS Spots in it.

Me and Mars1 were pretty pi**ed off to see two guys spearing leathers, a strongy and a crab last night half way between Marino and Hallet Cove :angry: :angry:They left their catch in a pool near us with the strongy still alive after being speared and when they came to pick up their catch they left the strongy behind! Mars1 said" You've left one behind" and he replied that he doesn't know why he speared it as they don't even eat them :ohmy: :dry: :angry:SOOOOO frustrating as PIRSA would have been unable to do a thing about it and what could we do? Annoying that they will continue getting away

yep, got a suitcase full of 'em if you ever run out

WOW, bl**dy WOW JW!! Stunning photography mate, you certainly show the rest of us how its done mate Magazine editors would give big bucks for pics of that quality :ohmy: I enjoyed your post as well as it brought back memories of the years I lived in Scotland and a guy called John Reid who wrote and illustrated, a book called Clyde Style Flies which was dedicated to tying exact representations of flies on tiny hooks like yours with feathers like the throat hackle of a Starling, wing slips from Blackbirds, all feathers easily obtainable in Aus There are some copies of his book on the web if yo

OK then you sweet talker you! Where and when?

More power to your arm fella and might I add I wouldn't do your job for a li'l GOLDEN pig :laugh:

All good mate and you're spot on with the redfin And, seriously, I have no problem with any one at all who thinks and caresas passionately as you do about any issue under the sun!If only we could get some more of the debaters on here to attack the issuesand NOT the personality's we would have an awful lot less work for you with the red penas well

OK, I see where confusion may arise Ranger.I am not a member of the Champions Group!I am the elected SPOKESPERSON, for SAFWAA, representing it's views, (with discussion and approval of my SAFWAA Committee) on the SARFAC voting Board.ANY other Communication, comment, opinion made on this Forum is not backed by either SARFAC, SAFWAA nor any other organisation. I repeat, so as to avoid any more confusion and digs by various disgruntled parties on this free and open Forum, that I am my own man with my own opinions.Hope this helps to level the playing field a bit in the future

Sorry if I didn't clarify your last point Ranger.EVERY single opinion which I have ever expressed on this site has been entirely my own!EXCEPT: when I have asked a question for and on behalf of SAFWAA, as its elected President and have signed the fact at the bottom of the relevant post.A classic example of this was when I asked if SAFWAA could hold a Fly Fishing Tuition Event at Old Noarlunga as has already been picked up a few pages back on this thread.Hope this helps mate.
