When I fish off Kingscliff or Black rock beach I always see huge trawlers about 2km out, must be sitting in a channel, someone told me prawns but I'll bet they are fish trawlers too.
Personally I don't see the point in worrying about beach netters, I am sure the beach netters account for a minimal take compared to the 3 or 4 Massive boats sitting just offshore every night.
Just wish there was more fish left overall for us.
