Thread: Stealing GPS Marks

  1. #31

    Re: Stealing GPS Marks

    A couple of years ago off waddy at fraser we were onto
    a bommie and getting smashed by big cobes.
    Told a group that we sort of knew there.
    Next day out we go and supprise when we stopped
    they came over the top of us to steal the spot.
    Why didn't they just ask to come along.
    I have given this mark out a couple of times to
    blokes going up there no big deal to me.
    Another day we went up to the cathederals and supprise
    where we were going to go was another boat right on
    the spot. Not another boat in sight.
    So spot x isn't that xxxxx.
    Gps point for this one due east of seaway at 20knts
    for 40 mins. See how you go.

    There is a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot

    I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges

    Up here we Use Hussar as baits for real RED FISHS (SHSIIFDER)

    I think it is common courtesy not to fish over the top of someone else. Nobody like it happening to them. However marking a spot to check out later would be fine in my opinion.

    Re: Stealing GPS Marks

    Had to laugh a few years ago when I was out on a charter off Morton Bay and the skipper said he would not be going straight to the spot he had planned to fish as
    another charter was shadowing us to "steal" his good marks.

    With integrated radar/GPS I guess they don't even need to follow you this days, just ping you on the radar and take the waypoint.

    Cheers

    Re: Stealing GPS Marks

    Unless mistaken i think the term is called "Blowflying" or sumthin??..Dont mind it at all only time it peeves me off is when they see your locked onto a bit of action and they come drop an anchor right ontop of yours, and an anchor that aint worth a piece of Goatshyte, drags over your anchor lifting it off leaving you drift off your main pick..If on good ground i know the pick will make again but time lost and fish moved..
    And happens when your anchored on a Wreck!!!..Well i tend to move save doing something i will regret at a further date...
    Like others have said though the ocean dont belong to no individual just a wee bit of respect & Courtesy goes a long way ey??...

    I'm happy to share my GPS marks with anyone who asks for them. Catching fish and sharing stories, locations etc is part of the fun. That said, a good spot on one day can produce nothing on another given day.

    Re: Stealing GPS Marks

    Looking at going out off rainbow for the first time on weekend, don't know shit from clay about the area so i guess if i see a few boats close togeather then that might be as good a spot as any to start, but i'll be damned if i'll drop in on someone, unlike the 2 so n so's down at Forster 3 weeks ago. Sitting there catching the odd bream waiting for the tide to turn so we could re anchor and catch a few prawns and bugger me dead one anchors 20 feet in front of me and one 20 feet behind me.... Didn't have a rod with me heavy enough to throw a snapper lead and 3 gang hooks............lol.
    As Volvo says, respect and courtesy.......

    Just because there is a car park of boats doesnt really mean you will catch much there. Alot of people just go there because half of the boats in the bay do. I found a few spots lately, one near green and another near coochie that are near where the masses sit but just far enough away, that they hopefully think ive got no clue where i am.
    I just try to keep a low profile when im getting fish after fish and they seem to get nothing.

    There Are A Lot Of New Fishermen That Head Offshore With No Idea Where To Go So They Tend To Follow Other Boats.i Have No Problem If They Come Within A Good Distance Of Your Bow.i Have Had 2 People Come Behind Us And Where That Close Have Cut Our Live Bait On A Floater Off,these Blokes Are Blowflys And Have No Respect For Other Guys Fishing.they Deserve A Gobfull But If They Give You A Fair Distance So Be It.we Are All Out There For A Good Day So Lets Give Each Other Some Respect And Enjoy Our Great Ocean.
