Fishing Victoria Forum

Truly sad and I hope the Magistrate is a fisherman and gives them the maximum penalty possible. People like this are very unlikely to stop - they clearly sell the fish and have an established market. It would be good to have fisheries keep them under observation as much as possible and then, next ti...

One boat had a few very large jackets - unsure how common these are i...
