kingie chaser Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 A@sehol#s!! You need a better camera with a tele lens Rick so you can capture them in the act& get their faces on record. Name & same if possible! Still I would be reporting it to fisheries, at least they could do more patrols in the area & hopefully catch them in the act one day.

Berrero Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I used to frequent the Gymea Bay baths a while back (less than a year) and on weekends it would be full of asian families just smashing baby kingfish non stop. Running the sabiki rigs and throwing all sizes caught into a bucket.... Nothing over 20cm Similar level of outrage, similar level of helplessness when it came to doing anything. I've stopped fishing the area for that reason alone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 They will be back. Alert Fisheries. They will catch them sooner or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryhard Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Damn shame. If you see it again, you can follow them to their vehicles, record registration and report to authorities. That's about all you can do. I would report with the info you have, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 You'll find that most of them will speak English well enough to understand what's being said to them; no speak English is used to avoid confrontations. And before anyone starts I'm first generation aussie and my parents and their friends did the same trick when they felt the need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back cruncher Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Hi all...rick,I remember years ago behind pelican airport a bunch of them with a mincer putting anything and everything thru the mincer.same thing,no speak English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz98 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Such a shame. god this boils my blood. I would most definitely report to the fisheries even if there is no evidence or ID. also rick try to get their number plate if you can. I would of lost the plot if I was there 😆 it's hard to be civil in circumstances like this, especially when people be ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I'd be locked up as this is my pet hate.Right up there with idiots leaving filth in "OUR" Bushland etc. These people only understand one language Rick, but the problem is not many are prepared to give them "Free" language and swimming lessons hence it continues to happen. Watching someone do the wrong thing without getting involved achieves nothing. Not having a dig at you mate as i know your reasons for not doing more than you did.Just saying that there's no point getting upset really as while we as a race continue to stand back and do nothing these vermin that do these things will continue to do the wrong thing destroying everything in their path dud to greed.

xerotao Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 We all need to report any illegal fishing activity. Enough reports at a particular spot will get the rangers attention. reporting car rego helps also. Because if such car is at the parking lot it would give the rangers something to lookat. They dont even need to get out and check. They have bloody drones now that capture your every move. Think about that next time you are fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Ive kicked over buckets of small fish and had violent confrontations in the past but 10 against one are not good odds there was dozens of cars parked so its hard to pik whose is whose car i have called fisheries numerous times on mobs like this by the time they can get to where its happening and the fact the heads frames and skins were being thrown in or fed to birds they have told me its in the too hard basket swansea only has a couple of officers and they have a large area to cover if they had a quantity of whole undersize fish i would have made more of an effort but even if fisheries get there most of it is eaten or in small slices in containers so its hard to discern what is in containers so as i am trying to describe my hands are tied on actively curtailing these idiots activities as they dont give a shit bout rules regs or doing the right thing unless you have been in this predicament its hard to judge my actions but you should be able to read my frustration !!!!!!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 G’day raiders, Firstly, these type of incidents are more common than we care to imagine. They are not isolated to any one race and point blank they are breaking the law! The only thing we can do is lead by example and report any illegal activity to the appropriate authorities! Thanks for your input. This thread is now locked. Regards scratchie mod team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
