    Bream @ Chippo Lake 11-02-07

    Gday all

    went to Chipping Norton for a quick session with my mate. We did not expect anything spectacular, but the bream did fire up! Burlied up and we pulled 15 bream in about 3 hours, only about 2 or 3 that were undersized. Biggest one measured 35cm. All the fish were put back.

    Schools of mullet and bream busting the surface, it looked like it was feeding time for some bigger fish, because we even saw a legal size bream jump out of the water.

    Here is a picture of one of the bream.

    Cheers

    Australia And France Signs Fish Treaty

    Australia and France sign fish treaty

    January 09, 2007 12:00

    AUSTRALIA and France have signed a new treaty aimed at protecting valuable fish stocks in their Southern Ocean territories.

    The agreement expands operations against illegal fishing through joint patrols by the countries.

    The sub-Antarctic waters are a popular hunting ground for poachers plundering valuable hauls of patagonian toothfish and other stocks.

    Australian Fisheries Minister Eric Abetz, who signed the treaty with his French counterpart in Paris last night, said the agreement would result in closer co-operation in the fight against illegal fishing.

    "This new treaty provides for substantial co-operative enforcement benefits for both countries," Senator Abetz said.

    "For example, the agreement will allow French officers on an Australian patrol vessel to apprehend an alleged illegal fishing vessel in the French territory's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)."

    Both nations already share fisheries and customs staff in joint patrols under an agreement signed in 2005.

    The new deal allows for broader surveillance operations covering waters managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, of which France and Australia are members.

    Australia and France retain remote island territories in an area some 4000km southwest of Perth.

    Australia has control over the Heard and McDonald Islands, while France has the Kerguelen, Amsterdam and St Paul Islands.

    The treaty is part of Australia's effort to stamp out fish poaching in the region, including a five-year allocation of $217 million to patrol the Southern Ocean.

    Senator Abetz said while widespread incursions by Indonesian boats remained a problem in Australia's northern waters, no illegal fishing vessels were seen in the southern EEZ last year.

    Looking Back Over The Year

    I've popped a few cherries, not as much as I would like:

    Bought first beach outfit

    Bought my first spool of braid

    Bought a spin outfit

    PB salmon 62cm

    PB gummy shark 123cm

    Caught my first fish on SP

    PB leather jacket 30cm

    PB whiting 35cm

    PB tailor 42cm

    first wave rose up and white capped into the starboard side of the boat, almost throwing us into the rocks, we copped A LOT of water and it scared the shit outta me.

    last thing i remember before it is looking up and yelling "HOLY F*$&%"

    CFD

    that would scare anyone!

    Leaders, Trace, Braid. What The?

    in Tackle Talk

    Posted

    Gday Matty,

    trace and leader mean the same thing.

    I use Fluorocarbon because its less visible in the water than mono.

    Not sure about the strength of fluoro compared to mono, but I have read about the knots slipping with fluoro. Just learn to tie knots better i guess, its also harder for human eyes to see too.

    hope that helps!

    Cheers
