Great stuff mate, I'm lucky
Great stuff mate, I'm lucky enough to have folks live down that way so whenever I visit them I usually head down for a session at the Jetty. Have caught plenty of tailor and herring there, a few rays and some mammoth sized squid over the years.Still hoping for that sambo! The trolley is a must for the jetty, My Dad made a contraption out of an old golf cart! It makes life so much easier! Good on you for promoting cleaning up after your self too we need to preserve such places for future generations. It pisses me off that people leave so much rubbish around after they fish. I often find myself cleaning up after people. I went to canning bridge the other day and the place was filthy!

Question?
What would you have done with the massive tiger shark had you been able to get it up on the jetty without the gaff hooks straightening?
Any big tiger is full of mercury, bloody tough to chew and believe me hard to dress out, so would it have been out with the jaws as a trophy and back over the side,
Going back a couple of entries it states that a 2 metre bronzie was lost much the same way , it would have been over legal size so again what was the point of trying to gaff it when you are going to damage it just for the cost of a wire trace and a couple of hooks.

my bronzy was under 2m,i
my bronzy was under 2m, i said 6ft+ not 2m+ n the reason we tried to gaff him was the fact he wrapped my line all around his body, fins n his tail, so if i'd just cut the line he probably would of drowned nehow,but when the gaff bent straight he threw the hooks and rolled out of it n i think he'll be able to heal from the gaff (it wasnt a head shot we went for his ass end).
he was guna be released if too big n i dont use wire trace, lol, why not ask why, before saying why you think, lastnite i fished with the lads who hooked the tiger and they didnt want to stick a gaff in it they just wanted pics of it, just like ne fisho who catches something big. but another group from perth decided to try and gaff it! they the ones who lost their gaffs.
thanks for the concern though carnarvonite ,i saw a local young guy out there cut the whole sting n tail off a bull ray and throw him back out the end, i was the only local that said anything to him n rang fisheries to report it n i still havnt heard back from them. theres nothing we can do (locals) to stop ne fishing illegally or otherwise, i told fisheries numerous times, when and where to go out the jetty to catch illegal fishing, yet i still have not seen em once out there.
and the amount of rubbish left on the jetty after Australia day weekend was appalling, if you cant take ur rubbish home dont come out on our jetty! i had to pick up a smashed vb bottle, so no one would slice their feet open, absolutely pathetic! i know who you are and if see you on our beautiful jetty again i dont care how big you are your going for a swim!!!!

That was my question
Why put a gaff in to a MASSIVE tiger shark to pull it up some 3-4 metres and do major damage to it in the process, possibly enough that it wouldn't survive just you you can get a couple of pics.
Who was going to get in the water to swim it when you put it back?
The mind boggles!!! I was taught at an early age that any life is precious be it animal or fish, if you are not going to eat it or have a bloody good reason for killing it, let it live and a couple of pics is not a good enough reason in my book.
Sure Chris down south has it wired with a 100% successful release tally but he is doing it from a beach where he can walk them not 300 metres out on a jetty.

look mate thanks for ur input, but i just saw wat u wrote on the danny green tiger n u think tigers arent in the 700mm size limit, well they are, so check ur facts before ranting on other peoples topics, that is all, if you havent got nothing constructive to say DONT COMMENT!

READ
If you had taken the time or bothered to read my comments you would have noticed the bottom bit starting with EDIT, stating that I was wrong about the tigers not being classed with whalers.
So before you start mouthing off, take the time to read something properly then if you don't like it in my opinion TOO BAD!!!

Mouthing off
Before you disappear, I used to fish the Busso jetty as a kid while growing up in Bunbury and my Mum would come down there to visit her rellies while we fished. Yo wouldn't have been thought of then so I think I know a bit of history from it.
Just because I have a pic of a red caught from a boat doesn't mean I don't go from the rocks, beach or jetty up here. To please you I will have a dig around and see if I can put a land based one up, though it may be hard because I only take pics of exceptional fish nowadays because having seen thousands come aboard or up a beach over many years one gets a bit blase about them, though the threll doesn''t diminish.
If you don't want people to read your comments, don't put them up, clear and simple.

arrogance
woohoo you catch fish off the jetty on mulies not real hard to do,does not make you the LB guru. Carnarvanite was fishing the jetty and surrounding areas before you were born. All he was asking is for people to look after the fish if not going to keep it if thats your attitude to fishing for the future and can only handle constructive comments P#ss off to another forum or post nothing, you only joined the forum to back up your mate the jetty rat. it is the same as your attitude to rubbish on the jetty is the same for other people that care about released fish
He fishes, He fishes, He fishes, its the only thing in life. All he ever gets is hell from his fed up wife
