Well peeps think it'll be a sad day when these restrictions are enforced.
I popped out last night to go say hello & take the piss out of a few of the boys whom I know @ the local fishing club I duck in every now & then to say hurro. Anyways cant give you's a great deal of info on the topic as it came out in conversation late in the night by one of the guys & it's going to be discussed in further detail @ their next meeting. One which I'll be attending just to get the full story on these restrictions. Anyway apparantly the ports authority has now deemed Botany Bay to be unsafe due to the growing amount of oil tankers, cargo ships & the growing amount of tugs /pilot vessel usage. Hence they want recreational fishermem to suffer once again by placing restrictions on where they can anchor inside the bay & I'm not talking about inside the shipping channels either. Apparantly those no anchor zones will extend way past the shipping channels & will forbid anyone from anchoring virtually anywhere from the heads to where the 3rd runway is. So all those fishermen who anchor up @ Molinuex Pt waiting for kungs to appear cant anchor there, the bommy place of alot of my fishing reports : well you cant fish the spot on the drift & I will get a fine if I achor there etc etc. I've been fishing the Bay for nearly 30 years now & in that time have seen the place diminish in the way of fish sizes & no's guess like every other place, but in the Bay the fish are still there just that we as fishermen aren't allowed to fish the man made structures that house these fish. I'm refering to places like the runways , oil wharf & container terminal & I really think it'll be a very sad day if these anchor zones get enforced the Bay is virtually barren on the whole 80 % of it has an average depth of 4 - 6 meters & there are only 2 1/2 decent reefs which will be off limits to boats that anchor on them. Reasons given by authorities are that the commercial boats wash will become 2 dangerous for boats anchored to which I say wash can be & is just as dangerous being on the drift as it is if anchored & they should look @ alternatives like governing speed limits on these commercial boats boats to stop the wash they give off instead of penalising the small boat owner. I'll keep you's up to date when I hear more. One very PISSED off Jumpus -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

I wont do the thread till I get the figures on paper of how much each of those Fads cost. Well in my books no way they could cost that much , personally I think there were alot of pack door payments made to those high up in the Government dept to even approve such ridiculous figures. -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

You have to bear in mind Botany Bay is not very big @ all & as I said in opening post about 80 % is very shallow water & not very good as a fish producing waters. 1st came the oil wharf & we're not allowed to fish it's vicinity but the wharf attracts the fish from other area's Next the container Terminal well much the same but on a grander scale Next some great area's are a no fish zone up behind towrain the creek there Next the 3rd runway prob not that bad until they also put up those yellow buoys forbidding entry which in turn close off the waters in between the runways which yields some great flathead & protection from wind for smaller boats Now they want to shut us out of the few remaining spots left which actually still yeild decent fish. That is wrong & I cant accept their excuse that you're still allowed to fish there on the drift cause that area cant be fished that way -------------------- ![]() Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

Well thats just crap. :fan: Down this way its turning good people into crimanals because they want to fish the no go zones. If you are caught its not a on the spot fine but a day in court, meanwhile they confiscate your boat and fishing gear.

I very begrudginly pay the fishing licence. I used to fish Jervis Bay every weekend years ago. I don't even bother now. It p(*&es me off that I pay for a licence to fish in less and less waters than when the licence first reared it's ugly head. I don't benefit one iota from the fees.
