yeh don't leave your car
yeh don't leave your car there at night, otherwise the junkies will get to it, as you have now witnessed. Maybe put forth an appeal to cockburn council for security or cameras to be put in place. Im heading to woodies right now, so hopefully there are a few fish...

always been a bad area
The fishing is good at the jetty because no one is game enought to park there for any great length of time.
I have been confronted by packs of youths with knives and bats whilst having a quite night fishing with a mate from work who doesn't get out fishing much.
We rang the cops and explained the urgency as we could not get off the jetty due to the youths hanging around in large numbers at the end of the jetty.
Cops took 45 mins to arrive, put the lights on, they all scattered and no one got charged. Not surprised considering the lack of police human resources.
Made a rule now that I will never fish there again as a result. Bit of a shame because there are good numebrs of squid and scalies there most of the time.
And no good putting camera's in the carpark. The will either get smashed or spraypainted lenzes.

Woodies report
I wasn't there when the snapper was caught.. but saw a guy hooked something big and snapped his 12footer rod..and half of the time he was fighting with half a rod..by the way it pulls looked like a ray..just a big arse one.

yes John
I caught a monster last year when i was fishing for snapper.
I didn't weigh it but i recon it would be around 60ish kilo.
it was almost a meter in diameter.
Took an hour to land that big bas...
Keep Fishing. Stay Relaxed.

that was actually a pretty
that was actually a pretty good effort i must say. my mates and i got a 20kg last year at eshed and it took us 45 min to drag it in and another 10 minutes to haul it up. bent our gaff and we ended up having to use a cliff gaff and the normal gaff together to bring it up.gave 20 people a good feed though.

Yeh it is a good effort.
Yeh it is a good effort. I've got a few around the 120-140kg mark and even with heavy gear, they take a good 3 hours. Although there not a prized fish around here, you have to give it to them, they pull bloody hard and it takes some practice landing them.

Hahah well same could be said about jigging sambos its backbreaking to an extent, Rays are free to catch unless you get spooled then ouch! Sharks would be nice though even small ones strip line fast love the way they run.

Hey Jezza, any ray can be
Hey Jezza, any ray can be brought up with the right technique. My uncle used fish for them, at one stage he held the record for the biggest land based one caught. Doesn't matter how heavy line you have, you have to lock up straight away, and turn there heads. This is done by putting the rod horizontal to the ground, other wise you will just get spooled..
