Breeze

Of the 14 caught, how many did you keep?

I purchased a brand new boat in August 2003 and have kept it at the marina in Akuna Bay. The cost and hassle of maintaining the boat (not to mention tackle and bait) now far out way the enjoyment gained fishing Pittwater and the area encompassing West Head, Lion Island, Box Head, Barrenjoey, across to Whale Beach, and sometimes a little further south. You don’t need to be marine biologist to confirm that fish aren’t there in the numbers anymore. Unfortunately it’s all over and the environment will never improve. To be able to catch reasonable fish you now need to travel to more exotic locations which are not over fished and polluted. Referencing this site regularly during this time I noted many postings promoting recent catches. Understandably people generally don’t want to advertise the not so good days. It is my opinion that less than 1% of people catch 90% of the 5% of fish that are left. Most of the people on this site (which is fantastic) fall into the 1%. It’s a sad sad day. Breeze
