I remember I reas it on their page. And some of them were charter operators, unbelievable. Cool to see the drone footage.
Those fleeing the area knew they were doing something wrong.

They were covertly monitoring all of the Sanctuary today (Sunday) - for most of the day (I live locally - so I could see it - no Covid lockdown breach!). So for the nuff nuffs out there - stay away.....Fisheries are active.
Fishing report - well - I went for squid - water was dirtier than I hoped so no luck there. Caught some nice pan sized pinkies on the trawl but....

Yeah, spotted them on the skis yesterday off Clifton Springs, water was clean there and managed only a few smaller squid land-based.
