This is the main problem these days.
Government agencies do not have the recsources to be patrolling facebook. If you have some evidence of people doing the wrong thing ring the appropriate authorities direct.

Not sure about recently, but
Not sure about recently, but during this cray season the fisheries were putting in the over time and out of hours work on the north marinas. Quite often they were out at 3:00am busting guys pulling pots before 4:30am and also busting guys pulling too many pots and having over there limit of crays. They were working very efficiently and in my opinion they couldn't of done a better job with the recourses that they had.
Sounds like the south of the river ramps might of got a bit neglected this season but I'm sure they mad an appearance down there at some stage, and they are out there doing their best to look after our fishery with the limited resources they have.
big thumbs up from me for them

Agree
Agree Paul,
I don't usually like to get into the drama, but you can't blame fisheries for an alleged breach of the rules.
I have forwarded this stunning piece of investigative journalism to A Current Affair. They should be in touch shortly.

Why didn't you report it
Why didn't you report it then? No point in putting it up as a post here if you haven't got the moral balls to do something about it! At least I hope you said something to him direct????
I'm tired of seeing drama queen posts just for the sake of it!!!!

Another really cool story
Another really cool story Pete. So you actually saw these X-rays measured? Just because you don't like the bloke his Crays are undersized? Like BJ said have the moral balls to do something about it.

....the first thread he puts up is mildly amusing/somewhat coherent, but with the passage of time, and the buildup of mind-altering substances, each successive thread drifts further away from what most of us consider normality.
Petermac. I'll have what HE'S having!

Well
hanging around at boat ramps achieves nothing.
Acting on information provided by joe public actually helps catch those who break the rules.
Happened recently down here with some moron apprehended on a JetSki with over 70 cray tails on board.
Information was provided to fisheries by a member of the public and they acted on it.
Why not pick up the phone and report what you see rather than spin stories on a fishing forum?
