exmouth fish thief...your on notice
If your the thieving arsehole We caught filleting under size coral trout and snapper etc at the exmouth marina filleting table on wednesday, I have reported you to fisheries and given them all your details, your description, your car etc. you give yourself away with your attitude when we arrived at the table and your very hasty retreat with your frames and half filleted fish thrown into your ice box and driving away very quickly.
we didnt let on then but we knew what you were up to, I'm sure you were over the bag limit too as you threw quite a few handfuls of frames into your ice box before running away, a lot more than 7 fish.
for everyone else I will post his details here shortly for you to keep an eye out for him. some of you exmouth locals will possibly know or know of him but I would like to hear from adam whether I should post his details first.
Adam if you want to follow this up pm me and I'll send you my number
I understand your a fisheries officer am I right?

Nah mate, I'm not an officer, but I know the boys well. If you send me the details I can pass them on to the right people. Another strange one was a mate said he saw 8 whole coral trout in the bins yesterday around legal size, who knows whats going on!

If you cant get fisheries
call the coppers. If they've got nothing on, the guys here are usually up for going through someone idiots boat if you cant get hold of the fisheries guys.
They work pretty close with fisheries.

Hate it when I
read of a post when a fellow FW'r has seen illegal activities, good on you for letting Fisheries know.
From memory, Adam might be able to clarify, but Police Officers are also Fisheries Officers, that was told to me many years ago.
Keep up the good work and think all us responsible fisho's will and should report with all details to Fisheries any illegal fish caught.
I hear so much in Leeman, fisho's bragging how they caught this and that with no Fisheries at the ramps (bring more than their bag limit), but unfortunaely haven't got evidence but do keep my ears, eyes and mobile camera and digitial camera at the ready, hate it, my pet hate, we all suffer because of these a...holes. Greed whether money or fish is going to be the down fall of us good lawful fisho's.
I'll get off my soapbox now

don't think Fishwrecked does
don't think Fishwrecked does name and shame. Too many legal ramifications.

I am no expert and i
I am no expert and i definately dont agree with what he did. How ever without really good proof like photos and videos or fisheries catching him red handed they probably cant give any fines.
And as for naming and shaming you can really only do that once the court has given a conviction other wise you can end up in more shit than the bloke who took the fish.

yes your right
and I explaineed in a message to adam I dont realy expect them to be able to do anything in this instance but if they know who he is they can monitor him and catch him down the track and if i desribed what I saw it's then upto fisheries to prosecute where they can.

youd have to be a little bit
youd have to be a little bit simple to fillet undersize fish at a public table?
