Swiss ban catch and release too |
|

Here we go again. Now the Swiss have banned catch and release fishing, barbed hooks and the use of live bait in some situations (what they are I do not know). Anglers have to bonk the fish they catch on the head to kill them right away. They also have to take a course on humane fishing practices and "prove" that they know how to do it properly. That's one sure way to get a complete ban on all fishing going. I wonder who gets to decide that you've "proven" yourself worthy or if it's even possible to do so and to whom do you prove yourself? Pffffff! What a load of typical idiocy.
Fascism is alive and well. They used to wear jackboots, now they wear sandals. Same desire for complete control over everyone's lives though.
"You CAN'T ANY MORE because we don't want you to." Pretty serious stuff. Today, it's catch and release fishing. What is tomorrow's new opinion-backed RULE?

A question on notice was asked on the 14th Feb and the minister has finally made the following reply;
Question on Notice No. 110
Asked on Thursday, 14 February 2008
QUESTION:
MR WEIGHTMAN asked the Minister for Sustainability, Climate Change and
Innovation (Mr McNamara) — Will he outline the Government’s position in
relation to artificial reefs in Moreton Bay?
ANSWER:
The science associated with artificial reefs has progressed enormously in
recent years. Therefore, this Government believes that we need to move
forward with developing artificial reefs to help ensure the resilience and
longevity of the great marine environment we have in Moreton Bay Marine
Park.
As part of the Moreton Bay Marine Park Zoning Plan review, the Government
has allocated $1 million towards researching, planning and constructing trial
artificial reefs. This trial project will run in parallel with the Moreton... [Read More]

Moreton Island beach closures |

This information was passed on to me via email, and I thought I would post it here in case some were unaware, please take the time to sign the petition if you can.
Thanks Skippa,
This topic is pretty important to me, my family and friends. My sisters and I grew up on this island (since I was 5 years old), and still go there nearly every second weekend. These beach closures are unnecessary, and are not clearly being put in place for any environmental reasons. We are not disputing the beach closure at Cowan Cowan, as this is for environmental reasons. The other beaches (Combi and North Point) are being closed to vehicle access... [Read More]

One Hook in Yellow Zones. |
|
Mar 19, 2008 - 2:13 PM - by Haji-Baba

Proposed. Yellow zones Eg: Bribie Passage
As I read it, this is already in force in north Q.L.D.
"One line/rod per person and one hook per line."
Can't see the point, I will have to fish a little bit longer for the same result.
Does it really matter if you exceed the one hook rule if you don't exceed your
"In Possession Limit".
That has to be a load of hot air surely?
Any comments?
Have Fun Haji- Baba.
