ilk fish Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Actually I got carried away a bit, I should not have called them scum. I guess they are just trying to maximise their income. But I do blame the fisheries for allowing them to have this situation. They are very efficient as I have hardly seen any mullet in the past few years. ilk.

Ilk Have you checked with /reported this to fisheries. Isnt Botany Bay a recreational fishing haven? If it is they are not allowed to undertake any commercial fishing. How do you know this is happenning late at night? Regards Maniak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniak Hi fishraiders It is legal, some commercial fishermen are allowed to catch BAIT from the bay, it can be mullet, squid etc. I did call fisheries and the inspector did comfirm it with me. regards ilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
