Beware beware shady camp

Post by fish4me123 »

Hi beware of the 3 meter crock at the 1st bend at the mouth. We watched a tour operator feed it pilchards. He has been doing it for a while.I caught him 4/3/15 . The sea eagle picks up the pillies the crock doesn't The crock then tries to steal ur mter Barra. Thanks kindle to the other boat who scared it away from our 110cm Wednesday. If you see this crock feeder photo him and report. It is inderviduals like this that give tour operators a bad name.

Great fish
You would expect better from those that are meant to be professional.

@ Fish4me123- give your pic to the Fisheries I'm sure they know the number for the licenced tour operators board.

I wouldn't put the pic of FFF, not quite the correct channel to go through.

Not much "duty of care" from that tour guide

Just remember he has a number of boats and he doesn't drive all of them. Not defending, just saying.
If you see such an incident, call Fisheries. Send them pics and all your evidence and let them deal with it. They are pushing hard to further regulate and clean up the industry to prevent this sort of rubbish happening.

There was a big old croc thrre that people used to feed. He started hanging around boats a bit, so he was shot. I think that's a real shame and likely to happen again
