Fishing line in the prop
Last week, came back from a few days in Perth and thought better bait up the pots before the 7.30 cut off.
So we whizzed home, hooked up the boat and raced to the ramp, arriving at 6.30
In we go and off, few people on the finger jetty fishing and we passed maybe 20 meters away.

Luckily the line protection worked a treat.
He was gone when we got back in, I was going to pass his line back to him.

Well I'll admit that I
Well I'll admit that I didin't read that bit of fine print in the Rules:
When can I fish for rock lobster?All year round. However, while there is no longer a season for catching rock lobster, you must not pull a pot or dive for rock lobster at any time either:
My Dad taught me how to Fish-Thanks Dad.(RIP)
