    the way i see it is if the oysters are going or are causing injury to the owners then they should be allowed to remove them regardless

    but that not to say they could lay a blanket or something over the oyster covered rock but in my end up in the ocean as a consequence

    if someone cuts their foot and slips it could be a trip to hospital .

    removing the oysters is nothing they will grow back over time

    and at any rate they were not kept the fish ate them

    Rock Session

    Hi all,

    I decided to take a protest pubic holiday today, so me and a mate (Brett) went for a rock fish at north head.

    The initial target was snapper, since the rough waters had just calmed. Brett ended up with one under size fairly soon after sunrise, but that was it.

    I tried targeting kings but we had no livies and poppers were not doing it, nor were stick baits.

    We made the call to climb out of there, find some livies and try a likely spot a few beaches north where we have seen some big kings lately.

    Got 8 yakkas and headed off around 12 ish via Bretts place for a few tinnies.

    A couple of whoppers were following Bretts popper in one spot so we threw our livies out there.

    After some waiting my rod goes off and I spot a rat king on the end. I would normally curse at this but I have never managed a king off the rocks, having only tried a few times, so I was pretty excited. What came next was far more exciting though....The Rat was followed to the surface, not three meters from the rocks by a school of what can only be descibed as Hoodlums! A few over a meter at least and there were 10-12 of these.

    Some how the smallest one had taken my bait..typical.. Anyhow I kept him in the water for a bit but Brett had no luck on the followers.

    As I was getting ready to throw the fish back after landing him (my first off the rocks, a proud moment :thumbup: ), he jumped out of my hands into a crevice! While trying to save him, Brett calls out WATCH OUT! and I scrambled up high as a big wave rolled up, freeing the fish, and also my rod and reel into the drink! I threw out the popper and luckily managed to hook it back in, but that wasn't the end of the trouble........The same wave had knocked all our gear of the rocks and was floating in a rock pool behind! We could only laugh. As I retrieved my bag with phone etc all soaked and picked my jig heads etc out of the bottom of the pool I found some other peoples tackle there too! so it looks like we're not the only idiots :074: .

    Oh yeah and we caught a longtom, about 50cm, not by hook, he got his beak caught in my braid!

    Another guy set up there ten minutes later and before we had time to warn him, his gear was floating too.

    It was then time to give up as the livies were gone and the kingies still being aloof. Next time those fish will have live squid in their face and lets see the hoodlums resist that ay!

    Cheers Raiders

    #1Son and his mates regularly go down to Plumpton to fish for carp. They tell me that they are in abundance. They have also caught a few other species there.
