  2. well from first hand knowledge, as i used to be guilty of it, most people down at Goolwa were i carp fish feed the pelicans the fish as they catch them and this has created a major problem as now they expect to be fed and as soon as you set up they know and are waiting, sometimes up to a dozen, they will sit right over your bait position tangling lines and as soon as a hooked fish breaks the surface you have a bunch of them chasing it in the water,i have  numerous times pulled fish out of their mouths trying to scull drag them,you have to battle them as you get the hook out of the fish on land and put it in covered container, in the end it is almost impossible to fish responsibly and you end up packing it in.Try to explain this to other people (tourists} feeding them is not real successful as they are a real novelty bird . i have seen pelicans tangled like this numerous times.

    Do not feed them let em catch their own.
