I think this woman is not long for this world!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_FwnR8F4jc

We are all worrying about this so called super trawler and all the fish it may take and I was just as vocal as the next on this subject' date=' but don't you all think we should be cleaning up our own act first before we start criticizing someone else,s . We all tend to jump on the band wagon and have our two bob,s worth and then turn a blind eye to what our own people and industries do. Just recently some professionals { so it is said} moved into the western side of Gulf St Vincent around Pt Vincent area and took all the Blue swimmer crabs they could catch to a point that the locals are left with nothing, but nothing is being said about that , I suppose that's because their boats are to small to worry about, but the principle is the same regardless who does it, and what about these scallop and prawn boats and the damage they cause to the seabed and the killing of the by catch dragging their nets, we never say anything about them because they acting with in the boundries of the law . I like every one else do not want to see overseas boats fishing here under any circumstances ,but if we are going to be critical of them then we should also be critical of ourselves.[/quote']Khombi.... great write up... i could not agree with you more.My mate has a place over at Stansbury and ever since those Pro were over there they are getting bugger all crabs, he use to go out and get his quota but nowadays all he gets is about half a dozen.Even the caravan park is feeling the pinch from the Pro crabbers in the areas, paying customers are not going back to Stansbury Caravan park because they are not catching crabs.The Government needs to start thinking about who benefits the state more.. Pro Crabbers or the recreational fishers who spend money of petrol, accommodation, bait, food etc..... i know when i take the family away for a weekend over to the Yorkes it cost me in excess of $500 in all the fore-mentioned. I wonder if any of the leader of all political parties have had a question asked of them about what they plan to do if they win the upcoming election....

Free lures would be cool though!

Cant wait for it... got my 12 month subscription for a Xmas present...

Hey Macca.... nice little AppReally like the ease of using it and especially having access to certain beaches rather than searching areas like Wallaroo and then having to + or - minutes to get your tides for the area you are fishing....great work mate..... this has just replaced my other app i use to use. :cheer:

Hey guys, not sure if any of you know about this You Tube channelReally is a great watch, i have sat for ages watching this guy in the UK make everything from sinkers to soft plastics, and i cant believe how easy he makes it look.Well worth a look if you are handy and doing this sort of stuff Click Here

I really like the look of that crab steamer.... any idea how much they go for?

Reeve, its "not a rant"..... you have good right to be a little peeved over what you found... and good on you for questioning the person.... a lot of people nowadays are too scared to make comment if they see something out of the ordinary...The snails.... i think are periwinkles, years ago me and my Dad would get a few of these and cook them up and use a pin to pry out the meat from the shell..... believe me, you would need a shopping bag full to make a meal out of them....

I'm a real novice when it comes to fishing for YFW and was looking at heading to middle beach in a few weeks to have a fish with the lad.I have never fished this area before and was wondering do you stay by the boat ramp or do you have to walk in with the tide etc....

All good, got in contact with Shane...paid for and will be in the post on Monday :cheer:

Best bet would be to go to the Fishing SA magazine website and ask Shane via the contact form.http://fishingsa.com.au/contact-fishing-sa/

Thanks ausea... will give it a go

Hey guys, just got back from Stansbury ...Got a few nice squid of the Stansbury jetty last night.Got up early this morning and headed to Kleins Point jetty and fished for squid.... Easterly was blowing about 20k's, was very uncomfortable and cold.... didn't get anything for the two hours i was there but a couple of guys who braved the cold and spent the night on the jetty got a dozen big squid and a nice mulloway for their troubles.Cheers

Hey guys, I'm heading over the mates "shack" (i call it a mansion) over at Stansbury this weekend (leaving after we vote Sat.)Any news of fishing over that way for this weekend?We are only land basedCheers

Hey guys, Thanks for the comments....Will definitely give them a go very soon and let you know how i go.Appreciate your timeCheersBishy

Hey Guys, I'm new to the site and was thinking or taking my lad fishing for some yellow fin whiting (Land based) and was hoping you may be able to give me a few tips?I grew up on mainly fishing on a boat and haven't done much land based stuff for a LONG TIME..... Are you able to help me with location (metro or yorkes) & bait etc....CheersBishy
