anthman Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Hi all - a brief report. What a beautiful day it was - low swell and high period, low winds and sunny. Great weather to be on the boat, but just couldn't find the fish (ended up with a bunch of large slimies and one legal flathead - all caught past the heads). But that's not the disappointing part (insert line about "that's why its called fishing, and not catching"). What was disappointing was the boat of three guys in a red and white boat with red folded back Bimini, catching undersized kingfish and bleeding them then and there. I saw them being bled and rinsed through the water by hand, the length no bigger than the length of a forearm and looked about 40-50cm. I told them off but got an immature and cowardly excuse of "I don't have a ruler" and "don't worry I go fishing all the time, it's over 65". Edit: thanks guys, will report using the full rego I noted down. Edited December 14, 2019 by anthman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always frustrating to see activity of this nature for all of us genuine fishos. But unfortunately you can’t teach stupid. cheers scratchie!!!
