    Undersize fish

    So today was fishing and this guy anchored near me i was using soft plastics he was using some form of bait. " oh blah wont catch anything here using them its all about bait". saw him pull in a bream yells out looks like i have dinner. The bream would of no where near been the 25cm legal requirement but he keeps it anyway. 10 minutes later yells out looks like we have another pulls in a small flathead i called out how big he replied 33cm. he kept it again... so i said you know there ment to be 40cm nowadays. " not in my books" he took know notice and threw it in his bucket..

    What do people normaly do in situations like this? is there a number you can call to get the fisheries out ?

    I have got myself in many a blue on the shorncliffe & Woody Point Jetty - I see it as almost a sport now to yell at the D!@K h@#@s that keep undersized fish - I even keep a pocket size guide for those who like to argue the point (in several languages - the wonder of the internet!!) I have been even know to tip a bucket load of undersized fish over the rail once in a hissy fit at a "little overseas man". Man they P!$$ me off. Phone number & info now stored in phone - maybe a better approach me thinks

    You guys are just asking for trouble. If someone gave me a bear hug while they emptied my bucket of legal fish. Usually bear hugs are used to rob a person. You will end up in the drink.

    I was once told the mud crab in my bucket was illegal when it was 15.7mm Male buck. Best way is to show them the rules, explain and use a ruler. If they don't understand get the authorities in.

    As for throwing other peoples rods in the drink. This is what i would do. Give you a bear hug and call the police. Guess who would have a bill. Ur lucky they didn't use violence against you. Coz i probably would
