It is about time!!!!
For real!!!!! i'm starting to get fed up with these asians taking undersize fish. i think it is about time for us to help the fisheries and confront these ppl who are raiding our fish stocks. Was out at ammo jetty bout 3 years ago and seen 3 old asians pulling in 15cm skippy and keeping them, by the end of the night they had at least 30 and everyone they were catching made me furious. i confronted them with a fish measurer and told them that they are fishing illegally and i was going to call the ranger if they didnt throw them back!! after a heated conversation i did manage to get them to throw all of the live ones back. and wot made me even angrier was that they were aware of the size limit and bag limits. Please guys dont be shy about confronting people like this. Remember that your in the right and it is only a good thing if we work together to improve fish stocks in metro waters
cheers

Grandfather was telling me
Grandfather was telling me that fisheries did an inspection in the last few days at Ammo Jetty and got a bloke for having undersize skippy... He seems to think he copped a $400 fine

It looks like it scarred you
It looks like it scarred you for life, when you brought it up after 3 years. :) But have to agree with you..

Just be careful
1. These guys will fight back
2. Don't segregate various elements of our community or you will be seen a a racist.
I do know what you mean though....

agree
Hey I agree, but don't just say asians - I have seen caucasian (aussie) guys keep undersize flathead in the river.
I have also seen many asians throw fish back that are too small.
Yes I agree - majority of people doing the wrong thing are from asia.
I myself have confronted a group of people taking undersized crabs, I went through their bucket and emptied it in front of them, measuring each one.
I had my bro and another guy there though, wouldn't be doing it on my own unless I felt fairly safe.
Heres an idea - make everyone have a license to fish from shore as well (like $5 a year or something) - if you are caught doing the wrong thing - your license is suspended - for 5 YEARS. haha can't wait for the comments on this one!
And yeah 3 years ago - been dwelling on that one mate. Should let this stuff out at the time, and call the fisheries - 1800 815 507.

i'm not a racist.
dont wanna be seen as a racist just a realist. i'm not saying go and have dig at them or anything, just saying to keep ya eyes open and always have the fisheries number in ya phone. i hate to dob on people but this really is starting to effect the fishing in perth.

Im Asian i dont take
Im Asian i dont take undersized fish, there is alot of people taking undersized stuff or over their limits old and young despite of race.
@Percula i really hope they do bring out a license for crabbing and fishing from shore, that way there is no excuses and the fines are just, but it does make jobs more dangerous for the fisheries then.

Penalties really need to get
Penalties really need to get tougher especially for multiple fish, it's getting quite ridiculous.

Please, I beg ya, don't bag
Please, I beg ya, don't bag the younger generation of asians. I seem to cope alot of shit fishing when I'm out fishing.Funny thing is, my group of fishing buddies and I'm the only asian.. And I get targetted always. Sometimes the 'looks' other people give when I'm out fishing just pisses the flip out of me. And yes somehow it's mostly 'asians' that seem to break the law the most (I've reported a few of them to fisheries while at North Mole) but there are others that don't.

Just read your header on other thread...
if thats not racist what is...there also happens to be some very responsible " australians of asian descent " that I've been fishing with...shit these guys last time spent 20mins picking up rubbish/ clearing smashed stubbies and glass off rocks that some yobbos left the night before...I hear what your saying ,...just have to be a bit more articulate in how you express it... otherwise you are insulting all asians and thats not fair ..

Didn't someone get stabbed last year
In the river by a fisherman? can't seem to remeber the story maybe it was a fisherman got stabbed. who knows?
We've all seen the asians on the jetties but gotta admit some of the more hardcore responsible fisherman are also of asian descent. Us crackers are just as bad, most recent i've seen in the last year... Just the other week a white guy and his pop were getting a ticket behind us in the wash bay when fisheries discovered a dhuie in their icebox and bout a month ago two very large white australians cast netting in the marina, asked if the knew it was illegal? response was pretty much F*ck off we've been doing this for months.

I think there were around 12
I think there were around 12 new fisheries officers given badges late last year...hopefully they can cover more ground now...i suppose the RFL and skippers revenue contribute to this...we had them come down in a unmarked car which I thought was a good idea ...however as soon as they got out of the car they stood out like dogs nuts maybe they could go one further and go completely undercover ...do they work at night as well

Not buying into the race side
Not buying into the race side of this but I've been known to "accidentally" kick the odd bucket of fish or crabs over the side of the jetty. Unfortunately I see people taking undersize or over thier limit almost every time I go fishing or crabbing. I've got the FishWatch number in my phone & I do use it from time to time if I see someone doing something particularly bad. For those of you that don't have it -
FishWatch: 1800 815 507
I'm no fan of dobbing on people but if it's a group & your alone it's a bit too risky to confront them. Besides, if my diabled 7yr old son can understand size & bag limits, I see no reason why an adult can't & if they are doing the wrong thing, they deserve to cop it.

fisheries in action at jolly frog
a couple of years back I had the pleasure of watching a slight built young lady fisheries officer in action at the jolly frog jetty in the mandurah cut. For some time it was well know that about 4-5 large built bronze aussie loud mouth intimidating types had laid claim to the entire west end of the jetty and were catching bucket loads of yellow fin whitting taking a load up to their cars putting them in the boot coming back and doing it all over again and again.
If anyone confronted them the rfeply was how would you like to go for a swim in the cut.
Well this particular morning this fisheries officer confronted these great big aussie bronze types and stated she wanted to look in the boot of each of the cars in the car park.The reply was F--- off little lady you can't do that. She made a quick call on the mobile and 2 of the large variety of the local police arrived and announced to all they were going to have a look in the boot of all the cars in the car park so that fisheries could do their job, and it was just a matter of how much damage would be done to the cars to acheive the stated aim. This was when the cops carried those big black battons with the bit sticking out the side of the handle. Result all boots opened and a number of types found to be inexcess of limit of yellow fin whitting.
That is effective compliace with fishing regulations.

Realy shouldn't have targeted
Realy shouldn't have targeted just asians in the first place..
I'm balinese and there are quite a few balinese friends that fish the dawesville area and I'm very proud of those guys as they have always obeyed the rules and are always friendly, a couple members on here might have even met them before while fishing..
Go down there during the tailor run at the moment and most ppl seem to be keeping undersized fish. Was realy happy to see the fisheries down there the last time I was there
