Great report and pics Dale. Im trolling from Port Hacking down to Jervis on Sunday. Would like to pick up a few fin on the way. What depth did you get them in. Coops

Great fish Dale Looks 300 plus. Too bad we wont be able to fish for them after January Coops

You're gunna love this,,, heard today thru a friend talking to commercial fishos in Ulladulla that the comercial fishermen are exempt from the protection .........???????????? Doesnt make sense

I'm with you Dave (Runamuk) Its going to end a lot of Game fishing tournaments and most likely we will see many long standing Game fishing clubs go down the drain. Total shit decision by our bald headed friend.. Coops

Hi All I have heard the following and was hoping you could let me know if you have heard anymore about it. Coops The European union has put them on the endangered list, Australia is apparently bound under some sort of treaty... Jan is a big meeting to discuss but have heard that Australia would most likely follow. Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett could be forced to ban all fishing for makos under international obligations under the Convention for the Conservation of Migratory Species treaty. Porbeagle, shortfin mako and longfin mako will be listed as migratory species as of the end of January 2010, a listing that will have implications for game fishers. Under the EPBC Act it is prohibited to kill, injure or take members of a listed migratory species in Commonwealth waters. This means that, following the listing of the three shark species as migratory, it will not be permitted for recreational, charter or game fishers to take porbeagle, shortfin or longfin mako in Commonwealth waters, or to retain them if they are caught in Commonwealth waters. The big concern now is whether this sort of international treaty can be extended to other fish such as tuna and marlin.

See ya in Jervis Sean. Should be a good week. Planning on getting a beaky on the way down. I'm leaving Port Hacking on the 27th . Will be in JB till New Years Day then going down to Sussex (across the bar) for a week or so. Coops

Nice fish Moony. Coops

Sounds Good Ross. Hopefully the Fin will be around in larger numbers very soon. See you out there on the weekend. Andrew Chill Factor
