    Have been hit by a boat bigger than that one you mentioned. My brother and I were in a hired boat off Tom Uglys Bridge on the Georges many years ago. We lost all our gear and the hire boat was cut in half and sank to the bottom.

    We were both very lucky to escape unhurt. Sure was an ugly expierience.

    I stick to my mechanic like superglue. He works from home and he comes to my house . Like most tradespeople recomendations are a must. If he does a good job and is reliable I will pass on work to him if anyone asks........ but no responsibility taken...........

    Fishraider Official Marine Park Poll

    in Fisheries News and Regulations

    Posted · Edited by bart

    Guys,

    I'm not sure how effective this poll will be.

    Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

    We need to state unequivocally that sanctuary zones are unconstitutional (or something like that) and that we have a right to access any area. We have shown we are responsible in our use of the areas and can demonstrate their sustainable use. If any form of ban is in order to preserve the area, then the danger must be identified and banned - ie commercial netting.

    They should not be called marine parks or sanctuary zones - they should be called net-free zones.

    Any users of that water must be restricted to line fishing methods only, bound by size limits. Bag limits apply to recreational fishos as per usual. This is a fair compromise and involves no more work to police than a marine national park. Government can still claim a big victory, the greens could still be happy that the major destructive force has been removed and rec fishos still can access their best spots and be bound by their usual bag and size limits.

    We should be proposing a compromised solution - it may make more sense to all as there are no outright losers - everybody compromises a bit - it's like being married....

    Barts reply,

    Compromise ? Why,at this stage if at all. Discussion yes and plenty of it. There is more to this than meets the eye. It is common sense that if you hunt a species (overfish)as is being done by some ,that it will come under stress.The Humpback Whale was a prime example. Given a break as has happened, the benefits of replenishment have flowed.

    I believe that the proliferation of supermarket outlets and get as much as you can mentality is one of the subjects that should be addressed. ....How much waste is there ?????

    If we can get a viable and safe Fish farming industry happening pressure will come off our natural marine resources.

    Please be aware that as ASIA developes and their people become more affluent as is now happening , demand for marine products will increase dramatically.

    So my friends ,we as recreational fisho's have pressure on us one way or the other.I firmly believe that we should not be scapegoats but let us keep an eye on the ball and not be hoodwinked.

    We must do it smarter!!!!!!!!!

    Bart I'm known to talk a bit once the rods are out. Give me a holla anytime you want to have a landbased flathead session down at Sanc Souci :thumbup: A couple of older blokes like us would have plenty to talk about and slow the talk down enough to bring the bite back on when everone else fishing there has had enough of us and left. :D

    Cheers

    Lost for words ay. Maybe we better get together over the road from your place and have a few sessions with the local jetty mutes. When I start talking, I'll bet we'll soon have the jetties and beaches all the way to La Perouse to ourselves and no sign of Bart. :lol:

    Cheers

    Hoping to get out there tomorrow Sunday if the conditions are favorable.

    Marine Park - Hawksbury Shelf?

    G'day Fishraiders,

    We have a big battle on our hands lads,be it now or sometime in the near future. The push is on and we need THOUGHTFUL discussion. I believe that change to some degree is inevitable. However we cannot sit back and let decisions be made by people who are illinformed.Decisions that may affect many people , their livelihoods and their recreational needs need to be well thought out before major changes are made. Constructive debate and information needs to happen.I can see that we have the members with great experience and foresight to make an impact on any debate that will ensue.

    Cheers BART
