My bad !

i just found the link to fisheries website under "LINKS" at the top of the page 

apologies

...even with that link, we keep getting the questions! I think it's more of a case of people wanting to be listened to, and replied to....it's why FB is so popular...

But then I "learned" something new today. And that is despite reading the pamplets/web a few times. Missed the release weight mandatory.

I have just recently (semi) returned from 6 yrs in Kcity, have been to busy working on the house to go out deep.

I do recheck the regs before doing anything, but it was nice to get that stated on here.

I certainly dont mind answering questions, even if stupid, and yes I agree that it "keeps" the post rolling.

 You will actually find a lot of people don't actually know how to use a computer so trying to find things on a website might be hard for them 

and also the regs can be quite difficult to understand..

the guy at work read all of it because he was going out fishing for the first time and he thought after the ban he could keep pinkies over 41cm...

 My favourite question is " what line to put on my saltiga/Stella?" Seriously if you don't know what type of line to put on, do you really need a Stella in the first place.

 I love the ID requests with the fish sitting on pavers.

I saw a fish ID query yesterday on FB with the fish hanging off the end of a gidgee!!!

 It's a fishing fourum that's what people do! Guess it's only your interpretation of what is stupid !

And people get upset when someone answers what seem to be an idiotic question with the same type of answer it deserves.

Wish I could have a headbanging pic to put up each time one comes up, Cmon Tim O, you seem to be able to get these sort of things.

 @mandurahmatt , your exactly right, it's only MY interpretation of "a stupid question" 

but it would seem I'm not the only one rolling my eyes at some of them that pop up on here !

I myself am not completely useless with a computer, so doing a quick google search or using the FW search isnt really an issue for me !! I guess it is for some, as Troy mentioned .

 There's a great web site called let me google that for you. You can post a link to them that literally shows them how to google

????

i think we need to get rid of people like dumper who put down new fishers trying to find the ropes. what a troll.

if your such a pro,then wheres all your insane reports. and you have a funny head: )

Not so much a legend prob just somebody with half a clue. Pick the line class you wont to fish before you buy the reel. Pretty simple stuff.

 The thing that really shits me is people writing sentences without even a hint of grammar or full stops I don't mean to be a grammar nazi because I can't really spell without the use of spellchecker but for forklifts sake use a full stop once or twice in a sentence people can't help if they don't understand what your asking of furthermore people won't reply if you don't even try to communicate in English.

Yes the lack of grammar was intentional to make a point.

come on, we might no the answer!!!

It appears some forum members post questions, which they can easily Goggle the answer on the net first. They expect others to do their homework for them, and then have the audacity to say "thanks in advance".

Is the one that wasn't asked.

Don't like the question, don't answer. This thread has been done to death also.

I think theres either no fish to catch or the weathers crap or yous have to much time on ya hands. lol 

I am having trouble screwing a nut on the each end of my threaded rod...if one end I turn to the right do I turn to the left at the other end?
