Hey guys,
Im currently doing an assignment in uni regarding the Fisheries Depts re-opening of Cockburn Sound for fishing and as people who fish there often know, the place is JAM PACKED nowadays with rude people and people keeping undersized crabs. I just wanna open up a discussion to see what can be done to help stop this madness.
p.s does anyone know what is the maximun number of crab pots allowed per pax?
Fish for the future.

ten pots max
ten pots max per person or boat no matter how many on the boat. other things you could incorperate could be my way and if i see people taking undersize ones you inform them, now if after the information they ignore you or keep catching undersized ones or over tthe allwoable limits i go and inform them that they should go. Then if all else fails i grab the bucket and tip it over. whos going to argue with me six foot 2 120kgs and tattooed. hmm nnot many and those that do the right thing have no fear.Maybe hire me and a few friends of mine bearing in mind im the smallest of my mates and we can sort out a few of these people
