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.

This is what NSW is facing.
Feb 09, 2010 - 1:04 PM - by Chris Ryan
This will be the same sort of response come 2011 in QLD when preferences are so dearly needed to stay in power. Can you believe it, a 300% increase?!!

This was received via email today.
Dear NSW Fishers


According to its website one of the National Parks Association's goals for 2010 is to increase marine sanctuaries by 300%.

The NSW Liberals & Nationals position on this is clear. We believe there should not be any more marine parks and marine sanctuaries created unless they are based on proper scientific research and community consultation. I have attached my recent media release.(removed for Ausfish post)

It is now time for Kristina Keneally to tell us where she stands. She cannot continue to take the easy way out and focus on restricting fishing rather than tackling the real threats to our coastline such as pollution, introduced species and disease and inappropriate coastal development.

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
