Hey my 2c:-
Whilst i whole heartedly believe that things are moving in the correct direction - I also would hate to see some of our favorite land based spots to be no longer available for recreational fishing due to a sanctuary being set-up.
I think that there needs to be compromise and much input from the whole fishing community.
Look whats happened at JB - a number of the good land based rock fishing spots have been stopped.
I think a number of levels need to be setup:-
1) No access - 100% sanctuary.
2) No commercial fishing, No anchoring, catch and release only....
3) No commercial fishing, No anchoring
4) No commerical fishing
We need to look after our fish and create sanctuary zones however lets be smart about it and no wipe out some of the best fishing spots - there are plenty of suitable area's to put into sanctuary's that don't have suitable or safe access to recreational land based fisherman.
Anyway Long live the fish
