BE ADVISED
Submitted by scubafish on Sat, 2012-08-18 10:18
Scubafish, Hello guys & gals! New to the Fishwrecked Family "so be nice. "
Just wanting it to be known first up that" I'AM NOT A POACHER OF PEOPLES FISHING SPOTS " I have my own from years of fishing. Will be on the water hillarys 800-830 with (Ulablaster the Decki ) ,Ocean reef 118 Call sign or Channel 72 on (27 meg )" Scubafish". Anyone wishing to to join me in convoy may do so, if for nothing eles but safety in numbers it's a big ocean, we dont have to fish in the same spots but close by. Leeman is still fresh in my mind and we should learn from it to avoid any Government changes like life jackets must be worn at all times on the water. I would like to still have the option to or not to."STAY TOGETHER & STAY SAFE" .

Good to hear scubafish, I am
Good to hear scubafish, I am of the same mind us fishermen should keep an eye out on each other and I would not mind anyone tagging along with me in a convoy in the name of safety.

Scubafish, pretty new to
Scubafish, pretty new to boating and have to say I appreciate your gesture. I will be heading out from freo fishing boat harbour about 10am tomorrow. If anyone is around, say hello. We are FG3909 and will be heading out towards cockburn sound and then carnac around noon. Next time I am going (with a bit more notice) might give a heads up to any others going out, especially newbies like me who might feel a bit safer with other fishing nearby.

Paranoid!
Hi Scubafish, glad to hear your voice of reason. It's nice to see that there are a few people around who aren't paranoid when out on the water and don't mind others being nearby. Good point about the safety, although with some comments on here recently I think I might be too concerned about being labelled as a "pinger" to pull up alongside someone to check they were OK.
Hopefully see you out there one day.
Browndog.

Thanks Dude !
Fishing story herd years ago,Kalbarri 70 's boat pulling someone elses pots ,going on for a few days ,cray fisherman got very angry at pochers. So the next night cray fisherman went out put anchor,rope and cray floats out close to shore .Layed in wait early next morrning on the sandune high above with a 303 ,shaw enough ,along came the pocher and tryed to pull the pot (anchor),which in turn gave the cray fisherman enough time to airrate his boat below the water line.Never to poche again, THE END !P.S like to catch the ones out at Rotto ,lost so many pots.Bottom dwelling scum !!

Before last weekend,
Before last weekend, broadcast on this forum that I would be fishing about 9 - 10 nm off two rocks, so if anyone else is there "i'm not pinging - i already have spots to check".... headed out saturday. first spot, someone else is sitting right on it, and i mean right on it. i kept a wide berth and circled him a bit and confirmed with the gps that he was within about 50' of the spot. Low and behold, i hear on the 27mg radio the words, "f..k off!" i took that to be from him. Rather than cause a scene, i just moved onto my next spot. but he'll probably think i was pinging. i wasn't and could have told him to do the same, but he was there first so good on him. hope he caught a decent fish because we didn't catch any keepers!
Fish! HARD!
