Cheers aff that cleared a bit up for me to, nice question DanC.I'll be honest i thought our waters stretched from here all the way south to the ice.

www.environment.sa.gov.au/About_Us/Provide_feedbackI thought the above would help.

They just dont give a stuff do they, nice to see they got what was coming to them.

Cheers af they are great shots, saved a couple of them to my pictures. I found photo 5 interesting, thought the Mako would of bolted with the Great White on the scene. He's certainly watching it carefully. Thanks for that.

Agreed AFF majority of it rests on his own shoulders, some flack needs to be appointed to AFMA and the Government as the legislation should of been reviewed and updated to encompass all modern technology including super trawlers long before the boat got here. AFMA have alot of dirt on their hands.

I used the SA government website to send an email requesting all members support the private members bill that independent Leon Bignell is trying to introduce this week to stop Super Trawlers from fishing in SA waters and the other one to send emails to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.Emailwebmaster@daff.gov.au = Federal Govwww.environment.sa.gov.au/About_Us/Provide_feedback = State Gov

Found this while doing some research today, its an extract from comments made by Paul Oosting from an organisation called Get Up." Under the proposed conditions for fishing the super-trawler could have legally killed up to ten seals a day"I was a little taken aback by this i have to say.

The Victorian Government has moved today to introduce Legislation to ban Super Trawlers fromfishing in Victorian waters. Bravo Victoria.In South Australia state Labor backbencher Leon Bignell is intending to do the same by introducing a private members bill this week to stop the Super Trawler fishing of the coast of South Australia. I beg everyone here to send an email a letter or make a phone call to their local or state member and offer support to Leon Bignell and the passing of this bill. We have a massive opportunity here to Support Victoria, WA and Tasmania and encourage NSW to do the sam

The Victorian Government is organising itself to ban Super Trawlers fishing in Victorian Watersi urge everyone here to petition the South Australian Government to do the same via emails, letters and or phone calls to their local members and state members. Don't sit back and let Tasmania and Victoria carry the can lets get behind them and support them as strongly as we can.No Super Trawlers fishing in South Australian waters ever.

Thanks CBKon i think we will see more of these comments from Geen and co, its the standard lines that always seem to follow a decision that goes against a business. Id like to know what the 25 employee's of Seafish Tas were going to be doing anyway considering the Trawler has its own processing plant, were they going to be used to run that or would it be business as usual at Seafish Tasmania's plant in order to process the catch from existing trawlers employed by Sea Fish Tas. If there is a threat to these 25 jobs its been brought about by poor businesspractice/management. Although i have litt

Thanks afishyfish,Wahoo. It was a massive rant that was brought on by Buxtons comment of 7% of an unknown number, that just sent me over the deep end tbh. Pitty about the spelling lol.Yeh unfortunately that mentality afishyfish is rife through out big business. The winery incident you speak of is just another example, sadly it spans all industries. The wealthy love their money and will do anything and i mean anything to protect it.The doubling of the quota from 5000 tonnes to 10,000, this was another comment that blew my mind. Off the their own bat AFMA was prepared to double the allowable quo

Four Corners was very interesting and at the same time very alarming. I have very little faith in AFMA now to do what is in the best interest of sustainable fishing, i have even less faith that it is independent and cant be swayed.Gerry Geene has his seen his profit margin decline over the last few years as fish have gotten harder to find while holding approximately half of the allowable quota to be taken in Australian waters. This would be costing him a great deal i imagine. So what does he decide to do bring a Super Trawler to our waters and clean up while we can as things are only going to

Kill them all as humanely as possible. Anyone who thinks different, well i cant print it tbh.

Garfish for me if theres a better eating fish in the ocean im yet to taste it.Wish you could find them at a couple of kilo's yum yum.

Ive used Jinkai for over a decade, great for leaders and rigs.

Cant open them Bass.

. Next target is a decent Sambo' date=' pound for pound Sambo's are the hardest pulling fish ive ever been attached to and would be a worthy advisory for the Certate Custom 2500.[/quote']Totally agree there mate. They sure are solid fishOver in WA 55k's out from Rotto in 115 metres of water the Sambo's really stretch your arms. 400 gram jigs dont help, form what ive experienced here they dont go as hard, maybe the depth had something to do with it but they still stretch you. Never been hooked up to a decent Kingy but i would imagine they would offer the same level of grunt, the two are closely

Was one of those days mate where all the stars aligned. We boated our 6 in no time out at Sth Neptuneand with the permision of all aboard i asked if i could throw a lure out on some 10kg tackle. Cut along story short half an hour later i was knackered and at the 40 minute mark it was slid into the net, some quick photos still to knackered to stand up lol then it was released back to do what all good Tuna do. It's about the only thing that has tested the Certate and it did it with ease,never got lower than half a spool. Next target is a decent Sambo, pound for pound Sambo's are the hardest pull

It caught this!!!

Yep either the normal straddy' date=' straddy CI4 or Rareanium are all going to kick arse.The T-Curve I recommended last is a weapon..in fact Ive now decided Im getting myself one to replace my saltiga with.And if you do stretch and get that outfit' date=' I can throw you some Platypus 20lb braid Brand new. As you would have stretched your budget..so no need for you to buy braid dude.My new bait and livie outfit is going to be a 701SW and my Certate Hyper 4000[/quote'']Gotta love the Certate i have the Hyper 2500 and ive caught Yellow Fin Tuna upto about 27kg's with it using a Daiwa Saltwater

Goodluck to you, there's more than enough locations within your reach to get amongst some big Reds all over the state and local. Ive used Gama's basically since they hit the market for all my Snapper fishing and thinking of moving to circle hooks as these have been getting alot of good raps lately.

Top stuff boys, Just goes to show you dont have to skull drag them out the water, quality light tackle just enhances the fun you can have. I bet your the envy of your mates back home. Makes me want to hook the boat up and head over to Ardrossan right now.
