Land based we keep out burley cages high in the water column helps prevent the banjo sharks and keeps the smaller pest species high above the bottom. They're a plentiful by-catch species and though they are less than ideal for eating they play an important role in our marine ecosystems. Without the ...

Squid are in spawning mode? Again? Must be a water temp thing, as I thought Oct/Nov was the time. There ya go! Water temp is a key factor for many species.
