Bass Minnow Bream on the drop
Been away from Perth for a few years and have finally managed to get out for a quick fish in my local area. Got a nice little bream on a bass minnow on the drop... must have landed the lure on its head, hadn't even had time to wind up the slack before it took off. Dropped one earlier on my first cast on a vibe. Seen a few bream caught down around south perth the last couple of weekends, mainly on bait. Also saw one older guy taking a few undersized ones so had a word to him as I walked past.. think he said something like "... its mine... "which made me reply "well you could get a fine for that..." poor bream was thrown back into the water after living in a plastic bag for about 10 minutes... think he had a few more in his bucket which he'd taken to the car earlier.

Thanks Claymore... that was
Thanks Claymore... that was the number I was after just hadn't gotten round to looking for it... I've seen this guy there twice with potentially suspect fish so I'll be making a call if I see him doing it again.
Has anyone had any dealings with fishwatch when you call the line? Do they come down?

They didnt come down when I
They didnt come down when I rang them, but it was late at night and no available officers were on duty. THey did ring me back the next day to take further details and also advise me of the situation. All info you provide is voluntary, you dont need to leave details with them if your not comfortable.
I think they would not normally come down if not in the area, but if the guy is a repeat offender they may have his details on file and come down to check it out.

have called them a few times
have called them a few times and they dont turn up but on all occasions that i called i made sure the offender could hear my conversation with fish watch and they released undersized fish back themself, a then quickly take off. please dont be afraid to report most people will back u up if it turns ugly
