Just checked on Facebook. A sunken yacht that broke loose of its mooring, but the pier is still up and alive

Heaps of them. Heaps of f*wit danglers too.

Went there a few nights ago. I was alone on one corner. Then I snagged one decent cala. Before i know it, a Vietnamese woman was beside me and dropped her jig and sinker where i pulled the squid not knowing i snagged the cala from farther out. Pulled one again and when i picked up the squid to put it in my bag, she jumped onto my plank of wood. I got 5 quickly and by that time i already lost my space. She was even hip- butting me. F**wit!!

If she was beautiful I would probably hit her butt. Lol.

everytime i fish there landbased i remind myself why i got a boat.

Pro tip 1
never fish the same area if you catch one squid, unless ofcourse you like line tangles from other inconsiderate anglers

Pro tip 2
Use cheap quality braid, that way if the tangles are really bad you can just cut and shut and keep fishing.

Fark that! And I bet she couldn’t even speak a word of English. If someone did that to me while I was fishing I would either beat them over the head with the closest object I could grab or fly kick them in the drink! Thank god I don’t live in melb and have to deal with that kind of rubbish.

You can't do that, then you would end up in prison over fishing, I bet you would regret everyday in there, lets face it besides telling them to get lost there is not much else you can do
