Fishing Victoria Forum

That just doesn't cut it on a forum like this - If you're going to make big claims, you need to stump up with the evidence - even a link to the relevant council minutes would do. In any case, local government is a very different kettle of fish to state politics (no pun intended)!

I don't know what you're referring to there, Ducky. I wasn't aware that the Greens had implemented a 'lock out' policy around the forests in King Lake? What do you mean by this, exactly?

I guess that 88% is what I was referring to - most anglers pretty much agree with the Greens position on fishing / fisheries in principle, at least. There are some odd views in the party about a range of issues, though, I agree. Isn't that true of the Labor and Liberal parties also, though? If you v...

Can you give an example of what these 'catastrophic impacts on our future' would be? Marine Parks have been shown to increase fish stocks dramatically when well implemented - ultimately if fishing becomes unsustainable because of poor management, no one wins, including anglers. But I agree, I wouldn...

For a site dedicated to a healthy environment (which is, after all, what fishing is all about) I would have thought that most of us would have been Greens voters. Obviously ... not? And the classic case of why would be this recent research about coal-burning power stations in the Latrobe Valley, lin...

They are a species of trevally: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets ... ckerel.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I've definitely seen them caught at Mornington, but I'm after a spot that's a little closer to home.

Thanks fitzy90 - I always assumed they were there (very rocky), but just needed some confirmation ... I think a plan is slowly hatching ...
