I say she should have had a 250k fine and a financial audit to prove the home...

Re: Venus bay Pippi`s

Re: Selfish shellfish harvesters facing stiff penalties

i hold no respect for those that take more than their quota, chances are they have never seen oysters and the like on rocks and thought they could make some quick cash selling them off

Sand/Beach worms

Just wondering if anyone collects their own sand worms? Do we even get green/pink head worms on vic beaches? Do bait shops sell them and how much do they go for? I would rather try my hand at collecting my own sand worrms as it looks fun and near free bait is always good.
