Jew fish - now you see em, now you dont
Earlier in the year there were jewfish turning up in the outer harbour. It's been 3 months or so and haven't seen squat.
here's one from April drift diving the channel out from west point.

Because they can mate,, simply because they can....
And
Kon"Kill'n'Fillet" Vatskalis,
Continues to permit them to do it,,, no research or thought was put into the incidents that went on in Fog Bay,,,
I took many of the pictures and no one has asked me any Questions in relation too the huge number of sawsharks and marine life, that was killed despite my many warnings and reporting of incidents,,
In fact we got told if we did not leave the matter alone we would be charged for
"Interfering with a commercial fishing operation"
So make of that what you will,, but that's why they do what they want because apparently if you report these things you are in serious risk of being charged yourself,,
I'm only telling of my personal experiences here

The answer to that is......yes unfortunately i've heard the netters have been in close there. out of all the area's they can net why do they need to pillage areas like that
Because they can mate,, simply because they can....

same as a hand line form the surface. they go balistic and try to reef you on anything they can. you get towed aroung a fair bit which is all pt of it. i dont spear them for fun, they are for the dinner table. so i quickly and humainly dispatch them on the surface, and after 1 jewie i call it a day and usuall dive with the camera for some pics.Pecheur wrote:When you spear fish a fish like that, does it pull like made once speared, or not?
As compared to when hooked on a line.

are you crazy? see them from the surface! no way Hoseáy. The water is too dirty but that can work in your advantage sometimes as you can hang onto the bottom and wait for them to come in for a look or to mill around the bait fish.jarrah jack wrote: What sort of depth were you getting them in? Could you see them from the surface or did it take a few exploration dives to figure them out?
what everyone may find interesting is we've never seen jews when the water is clear on the really good tides. It's always in the murky spring tide water.
also, if there's a massive groper hanging around a wreck or cave. you tend not to see them.
It's funny how you can be out near the pinnacles(for example) in the harbour and you can hear them chatting away to each other but never see them. they must see your silloette and swim off a bit.
