If it is Red, it is Dead

[crazywalrus]

Head out with my Neighbour, David and his mate, Joe. The weather models where conflicted coming into Friday but they seemed to align and we head out early Saturday to try and fish the early morning bite period and what a period.  We tried to hang around for the second period but the wind picked up and up and we had to cut and run with 22knots beating down on us from the side. 2.5 hours and we where back in the safety of trinity inlet.

Looks like a top day for the esky.

Don't forget the comp (in the Events forum). Token for March is your hand in the photo on a measure.

Great haul.

Well done.

Not jealous, Ted. Really, not jealous! Well, maybe just a little.

Unreel effort there @crazywalrus  it’s one thing to swing some fillets to your neighbours but putting them on to trophy fish… wish I lived next to you!

Absolutely agree @Bretto77 and did not mean to take the shine off a brilliant day out. Apologies to Ted if my comment came across as negative, it was meant to start a conversation about attitudes to sustainability not anything directed at him or his activities. 
 

Hmmm I lost my post 

 I did take offence at first.  Making a statement “no offence” does not change it’s effect.   I have not been active on AFO for a long time, being a long term member and still technically a moderator.  

Be careful, do not try and hi-jack someone’s post, especially, someone that is not active. It can reduce their enjoyment and they do not continue to participate.  If you do want a discussion, may I suggest, opening your own thread to start a discussion. 
 

The title was a joke. But seriously we took 7 reds and 6 Nannygai home for 3 families, hardly exceeding our possession limits.  But from the fisheries own stats the stocks of trout and nannygais are solid and the very reason we have the ridiculously high possession limits. 
 

One could argue people fishing SEQ are doing a lot more damage regularly fishing and taking Snapper that are under considerable threat and struggling with low recruitment rates.

I am sorry for hijacking your thread Ted. I will edit accordingly. 
 

I look forward to seeing your future posts

Most of the fish up north are release only, fillet and release into the briney. Nom nom nom
