Is it worth fighting for the rec fisho?
Feb 03, 2010 - 9:26 PM - by TheRealAndy
I am starting to wonder if the fight is worth it. Seems no one is interested. Does not matter what you do it seems you are met with apathy, opposition, criticism and out right attacks on your own lifestyle. Maybe I should just sit back on my arse like everyone else and watch PEW take over the world, and stick it up those trying to do the right thing.

Nearly 50000 members here and from my calulations we get positive feedback from about 0.001%

I guess everyone is happy to give up there fishing lifestyle.

Long tail tuna. Press Release
Feb 04, 2010 - 7:27 PM - by Lucky_Phill
28 January 2010
Ref 10/06
Anglers urged to share tales of longtail tuna
Coastal anglers are being encouraged to help ensure the long-term sustainability of Australia’s newest ‘recreational only’ species, the longtail tuna, by reporting catches using a new online system.
The information is being sought by a consortium of recreational fishing groups and scientists led by the CSIRO Wealth from Oceans Flagship. It will contribute to scientific assessments of the condition of the longtail tuna population.
Longtail tuna (often incorrectly called northern bluefin tuna) are commonly caught by anglers fishing in tropical and temperate coastal waters around Australia, and even from the shore.... [Read More]

Bioregional planning Australia wide!!!
Feb 08, 2010 - 2:57 PM - by Snapp.
Hey guys,

Obviously, we are starting to hear alot about the proposals of new Bioregional zones. For those that dont fully understand the magnitude of this, I have attatched a link that outlines approx boarders. I for one, thought that this was only happening off the East Coast, turns out it's Australia wide.

For example the "East" Bioregional Plan covers 2.4million km2

12 month boat passage closure
Feb 04, 2010 - 7:02 PM - by chief
We'll try this again as the last post seemed to disapear. We've all seen the signs at Fisherman Is. Saying No Parking and No Fishing. I thought I would follow up with the Port of Brisbane Corporation and find out exactly what is happening. The POBC have released articles stating while the construction of the duplicate bridge beside Capt. Bishop bridge is about to commence there is a total restriction zone in the area. As from May 2010 the fisherman Is. boat ramp will not have access to the Brisbane river via the passage for a period of twelve months. I have spoken to 3 people there including the project manager and I've asked for actual documentation to be E-mailed to me but I'm yet to see it although the closure has been advertised in Quest newspapers 3/2/2010. This not only effects river anglers but all who normally access the bay via the brisbane river. I have asked on behalf of the land based angler weather he will eventually have access to the rock walls where many have... [Read More]
