Actually, in Victoria you can't go walk a golf course chasing a white ball even by yourself. I tried at the course literally 1 minute drive from my driveway to find the gates closed, same at the course a 4 minute drive, and the others within a 15 minute drive all phone calls rang out. But yes, we can go ride the length of beach road 2 abreast to our hearts content.Sinsemilla wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 8:36 pmhttps://twitter.com/JaalaPulford/status ... gr%5Etweet
Here in Jaala Pulford's tweet an hour ago she states;
"On fishing -
The advice is clear, you need to stay home.
There are a lot of sacrifices we need to make – and going out to fish is one of them.
For some people, fishing is their job – and at this stage that’s ok – however, if you don’t need to go fishing, you shouldn’t be."
What I'm not understanding is this "Advice", either stop it or not. Is it legal or illegal? How can one go and play golf or ride around on a bike or go get a hair cut but can't go for a fish down a quiet river? All these gov bodies need to communicate more between themselves before releasing statements.
I know a lot of people where all they have is fishing outside of their work life.. and now don't have jobs.. Do they take up cycling? Is shopping for spandex considered an essential?
Cheers, Anth

I'm exactly in the same boat.. or yak..rb85 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 8:49 pmIt’s a hard situation up until Friday I was planning on continuing fishing in a low key manner close to home. Kayak for squid, walk the beach casting for salmon and maybe walk the banks of s nearby river for perch. Seeing people’s behaviour the last few weeks society wide really made me reconsider for the simple reason that it’s better to be part of the solution than problem even though a short drive I would be well and truly by myself. Fishing can relieve life’s stresses for many I wish I could go but for me it doesn’t feel right to go.
You need to calm down. Are you drunk replying again? Whats hard to comprehend is cycling with a mate around in public is okay but not a quiet walk down the river having flick.. If you can't understand the confusion in that there is something wrong with you.purple5ive wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 9:09 pmi dunno why its such a hard thing to comprehend mate!!Sinsemilla wrote: ↑Wed Apr 01, 2020 8:36 pmhttps://twitter.com/JaalaPulford/status ... gr%5Etweet

i can understand the statement still says Advice, but sometimes just a bit of common sense goes a long way!
Anyway.
the way i see it now as it stands!
Boating is non essential and is now a finable offence, so if your out fishing IN A BOAT your a$$ going to get reamed (if your caught ofcourse)...
Landbased fishing on the guise of food gathering or excercise, well that depends on wether you can convince the popo you were indeed gathering food or was doing some excercise ( guidelines are close to home and a quick walk or jog etc) , otherwise A$$ going to get reamed again.
i think nobody with half a brain is going to be fishing landbased when theres a potential 1.6K fine at hand, no fish caught landbased is worth that much, plus the added headaches of fighting a fine in court .
as for your mates that are now without a job that only like to fish, well lycra and a bike from vinnies are a lot cheaper than 1.6k
kayakers are another loophole again
Being a stubborn k@rnt is only going to hurt your own wallet and pride.
This now also makes the document from the vicpol i posted even more ledgible.
Food for thought!
