Re: North shore rocks!
I know what you mean Ark, Geelong used to produce really good fish untill the nettes moved in absoutely raped the area. I still go .. and catch dribs and drabs.MrAk wrote:went north shore rocks today from 5am to 4:30pm... got 8 pinkies all over 32 cm an 13 flat-heads all over 30 cm... so many pinkies an flat-heads.... but what pissing me off today... i saw 4 boats fishing nets going around the bay cleaning all the pilly's in the bay... :angryfire:
I need to stop going but for some reason, i still end up atleast twise a month; the place has a curse on and i cant shake it off. Maybe becuase iv had some of my best days there. :fish5:

Re: North shore rocks!
Sorry for my question, but i'm not understanding about the netting activity aren't they illegal?? why not just dob them in? If you can see their boat number just call 13fish....

Its the large licensed commercial boats that have been sent over to areas like Geelong to catch fish using large industrial nets. They all have been relocated to this side of the bay.

Re: North shore rocks!
The commercial netters have been working the Pt Wilson , outer & inner Cario bay for years . Now am not defending them , but honestly they are legally doing so & use nets & methods that aint that bad to our fish stocks . That said am all for a total ban on netting in our bay & only long lining or hookers allowed .
