Fisheries bagged a good haul of crabs yesterday arvo on the sound
WEll went out in the sound on the potting for crabs with me dad and brothers Saturday arvo. we picked up 10 crabs then also went for a flick for some squid inbetween pulls. And bagged 10 reasonable size squid. Had to be back by 630pm to go to a surprise party. Put the boat back on the trailer pulled up to the rigging section to do the usual stuff, car pulls up behind us and was the fisheries. did usual checks as they were checking the crabs we asked had it been a busy day and caught anybody( we knew we were all good all crabs were oversized chucked few close ones back) they said yes 3 guys with 204 undersized crabs we were gobsmacked with the amount and were very pleased these 3 people were caught it's a bloody disgrace for taking so many let alone undersized ones but in all good to see fisheries out doing checks
thanks chris

Disgraceful.....the
Disgraceful.....the government needs to make more of a stand against this type of thing rather than locking out honest fisherman with marine parks. More funding for fisheries, gross negligence of this type should start with immediate confiscation of all boating equipment which goes to auction to assist in further funding for fisheries. After X amount of illegal quantities of whatever been taken, just becomes a fixed fine. $xyz for every crab etc, not a shitty $5 a crab make it hurt...
