Is the 'Territorian way' good or bad? : Fishing Polls

Matt Flynn

The perceived "Territorian way" of fishing is under attack.

Is it good to have big, fast, colourful boats, and crews on the turps?

Or should we have small, slow, drab boats and sober crews?

ha ha god i wonder which ones going to get all the votes :rofl:

The territory way is the best way, enjoy it cause it will be gone in no time. iv lived in vic and nsw, stuff like having to wear a life jacket in a boat while your trolling at 3km hour down a river, its way out of control.
Id like to see the stats on boat accidents, drinking , speed ect. Im sure there no higher than any other state , proablly better with a few mids or VBs under your belt

It’s not much different here in the Pilbara with the beers. Its gotta be done. And after much research, I believe drinking beers actually improves catch rates.

Big fast boats and a beer in hand.
Just because you have a beer or two dosent meen you are p...ed.
Besides what else are we going to spend our enormous NT wages on?

it's a good way. Don't like it then f*#k off!!!!!!!!! I didn't invite anyone to come up and have a cry.
F*#k it, I'm gunna pack the esky with rum & gold cans and shoot down the nearest river at 80kmh in my bright shiny boat.
Used to try and avoid upsetting the nomads, maybe it's time to rock their boats.....

Is that why you bought the slow boat to China rods :wink:

??

Put an extra outboard on it = get to your destination quicker = save on beer :bonk:

Anyway soon none of us will be able to drink on the water so think of all the money we will save :fu:

good work deano,

you hooked my up any piggin country yet or what?

Ive lived in a few different states so i think i have a bit of a view.

I honestly reckon their should be a bit more presence of enforcement on the water, both fisheries and random checks at ramps.
The amount of people ive seen that near jack knife trailers from being drunk, undersize and over limits of catch.
Absolute spastics going flat out in their big flash TEAM boats around blind corners on whatever side or the waterway they want.
One good thing about their pieces of artistic cr.p is you never forget what they look like, so to catch up with them later is made alot easier.

Leave the NT rego free and licence free, it makes the territory what it is.

Im in QLD now, and im getting hit with all the bullshit now, rego, licence, permits........... real awesome

I grew up in Vic and its just as bad.

So dont whinge and complain when someone is taking up 2 lanes at a ramp, speeds past you when your family is aboard, yells abuse at you for being in their spot or in their way, have your car or trailer side swiped by a trailer in the carpark, etc

Its fine to have a few beers on the trip, but cmon, its like driving a car peoples.
Your taking other peoples lives in your hands and your own, lucky that the waters are mainly calm.

Sorry if ive upset some of yas, i reckon let people enjoy themselves and have a few beers but know when enough is enough.
