Under pressure

 She states if the larger fish are taken away then the average fish for that species will become smaller,

Why is it that they state the WA Dhue fish as being under pressure but we dont have a max size limit like we do with a pink snapper?

There working on 1 dhue in every 17 hours yet i have found spots were you will pull 2 or 3 in ten minutes. that was aired back in 2008.

Yeah exactly what I was alluding to, she probably dropped a camera next to no structure for miles & copped a fleeting dhuie migrating. Vested interest will always skew research & this troll is no different

id like to know how they come up with this crap lets drop a camera down on the ocean floor come up with a bullsh#t formular that we drempt up last night & tell people theres no fish

its like we will charge a shot tie it in the way the computer says & have missfire city but if you go off experiance it comes out 

camera no fish what were the tides doing what was the moon phase what were the currents doing what time of day was it see how theres none of that info there dosent any of that come into the equation even time of year i know my spots change all the time depending on these factors but i spose ill get shot down cause the computer & uni student is going to know better after all therve got a degree

Ask Whitey at Sea Sports about where they out the cameras.

He couldn't believe it...I think he said something about it being "a waste of time".

Quotes from Whitey:

Craig has a vastly different take on why the camera showed few fish.


“I did the camera drops here and asked the guys if they wanted to see fish ... why would they put them on the sand?” he said.


“They wouldn’t let me set the cameras to show them the fish.


“It was ridiculous where the dropped them for the fish habitat studies.


“I still have the spots on my plotter and there is not one spot I would ever consider fishing.


“It was an absolute joke – it is easy to prove there are no fish when you drop a camera in the middle of nowhere.” Normal 0 false false false EN-AU X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
