Should there be CCTV installed on Rockingham Jetty?
Submitted by Karak on Sun, 2014-06-01 00:25
Hi all,
I was fishing yesterday caught 9 herring, Rockingham jetty - with the upper and lower deck.
Not many people yesterday untill about 10:30pm. it was windy but i braved the conditions.
I reported to Fisheries yesterday about 2 people doing crabbing yesterday about 11:15pm, on the lower deck where I was fishing.
I did not approach but rather call Fisheries.
Just my rant for the day.

So you want fisheries to
So you want fisheries to install CCTV to monitor the lengths of crabs that people are keeping? Not sure exactly how you expect that to work.

...closed for crabbing atm? Maybe that's what he's on about.

Ah yeah, forgot that
Ah yeah, forgot that cockburn had closed already.
Even still, i dont think there's really the resources to monitor cameras 24/7 to keep an eye out for people crabbing during a 6 month closure.

Maybe
But I'd rather they put CCTV at all the boat ramp car parks, lot more unsavoury acts going on there.
This habit is getting expensive!

out of season crabbers
There are reasons for seasons , To maintain the fisheries for ALL to use in the future.I agree in principal with cctv but yea it would be hard to monitor all the time. Plus i too have been down there and seen the asian community doing just that and have told them that the season is closed and seen the catch they have. ranging from 5cm crabs up. When u tell them they dont care and if the fisheries do turn up they just throw them all back in cos they know then there is no evidence !!! SOMETHING DOES NEED TO BE DONE.

Stealing
I have also seen reports of many stolen fishing gear on the jetty. Maybe if they did install CCTV it would work for a couple of purposes.
Fishing the swan for bream, it's just an obsession
