Poachers at shady. : Landbased Fishing

Hey all,went out to shady camp with the misses n kids to fish the barrage as the tide flows over
into the fresh side.Got there around 7pm and noticed a heap of cars comin out and heaps of water
on the road so plenty of rain out there.Thought maybe nothin bein caught so was getting anxious to
see the water level.Finally arrived and holy cr.p 5 cars still there.And the water flowin over about ankle
deep from the fresh water so has come up a bit since i was last there.Couldn't help notice 2 lines of people
on both sides of barrage as the salt water was rising as well.Worked out there was a group of about 10 chinese
assholes fishin the salt side ,trebled lures n all.

Couldn't beleive what i was seein.Handed the relevant info
to the police anyway not expecting too much.And to make things worse someone rigged up 2 flood lights
on the gate hooked to a generator so the whole area was lit up. :banghead:

So much for night fishing hey.As usual
the drunks left there junk everywhere and only a couple of legal fish caught which where the unlucky ones.One of my young
fellas got a 58cm and the misses got one barra at 65cm and they were silver fish so we kept those.We landed about 5 fish each
but all rats.Left the 20 plus fisho's still there to fight it out.Sorry for no pics,try n remember the camera next time.

Been a lot of people fishin the salt side lately as well as live baiting it according to my mate who has been fishing it a bit. Be good to see fisheries out there again sorting a few of them out. I went once recently and it had 5 people live baiting the salt.

Haven't been to Shady in years. Used to be good spot.
Anyway, what is the rules out there....
Is it:

a) Illegal to fish the salt side-PERIOD?

b) Illegal to fish the salt side for Barra?

c) Illegal to TAKE barra caught on the salt side?

Just wondering?....

Still a billion mozzies out there? Was the worst place in the world for mozzies (and crocs).

I was also at shady last night and watched in complete shock as the group of Asian fishermen broke every rule on the sign post they had parked in front of :banghead:

. I also watched them neck an undersize fish, when I quizzed them on it they hid it under their boots. It would be great to see more fisheries officers :sleep:

out in the field to try and deter some of this behaviour. Shadymad did you pass the details to police or fisheries police?

Yeah fisheries dude,didn't see the under sized bazza though.Seen that group there b4.U catch anything
decent,thought the light was killin it by spookin the fish.Thats the most people if seen there this time
of year.

Shadymad - No we didn't fish, we where the group that sat by the measuring board and watched, bit to busy for us. I agree with the light spooking the fish

Long way not to have a flick or u had no gear.Seen a guy catch a few off the fresh water boat ramp
and one of legal size,maybe better luck next time.

when will you people realise that ONLY WHITE AUSSIES get charged for this......... anyone one else and that would be RACIST....

Its not just the Asians who break the laws there. Ive seen 3 Aussies fishing on the salt side using trebles. I asked one bloke and he said he 'never reads signs'
:banghead:
