Commercial Fishing In The Harbour Options

[catchnrelease]

OH LOOK WHAT I FOUND! Two minutes of searching and I've blown your whole lobster trap theory out of the water:
http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/info/c...p-is-prohibited

"The waters specified in the table below (Schedule 1 of the Lobster Share Management Plan) are waters in which the class of commercial fishing that consists of the use of a lobster trap or commercial lobster trap to take fish is prohibited."

And look what body of water is banned.....

"Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour)
The whole of the waters of Port Jackson and its tributaries, upstream of a line drawn from the northern extremity of South Head to the southern extremity of North Head."

Unless you can find something wrong with that of course.....but honestly, how can you argue against that? You can't put up this kind of information available to the general public if it's simply not true.

Of course I can argue with that

I see no mention of Botany Bay on that list & we all know our licence fees bought out all the lfb's in the bay

The only thing that I agree with is wot hustler said

never believe 100% of what you read of hear...

I have wun DPI guy telling me wun thing & you're using couriour pidgeons with notes tied to their legs telling ewe sumting else

[hustler57]

i think what needs to happen here is every 1 just accepts that we well they have different views on whats happening and leave it at that....

whether commercial fishing is happening or not in the harbour can be put in the bag of lifes great mysteries.....

SINCE WHEN ARE WE TALKING ABOUT BOTANY BAY???

I have been talking about Sydney Harbour, and nothing else. That's what this whole thread is about, not Botany Bay. Sydney Harbour was banned because of the high levels of dioxins in the interest of public health. That's why they can't fish there, the reason they were payed compensation was because of the ban that was always going to be put in place - compensation or not. It's not the pros that are in the harbour that are banned, it's the harbour that's banned meaning nobody can fish in there.

Stop avoiding the issue at hand. Do you think commercial fishing is allowed in Sydney Harbour or not, now that you've seen fisheries pages, emails etc. Hell you can call Mr. Mannah if you want. I won't because I don't want to waste his time - it's obvious no commercial fishing is allowed in the harbour.

I'm done here, fact is I have info supporting my case and you have to ramblings of a few people. I see NOTHING in writing that states anything other than commercial fishermen being totally banned from the Harbour.

Wake up to yourself googlefushy
Who controls commercial fishing anywhere ?

DPI does

My comments in regards to Botany Bay are very justified simply because our licence fees were to stop all commercial fishing in Botany Bay & I saw no where on that link any mention of the Bay being protected from lobster trappers

Stop avoiding the issue at hand. Do you think commercial fishing is allowed in Sydney Harbour or not

Personall y I dont really give a shit, haven't fished the place for 20 years & from the very start of this thread I did say that I wasn't sure if it was banned

Now we have 2 conflicting DPI guys saying different things & if they cant get their own house in order I cant see why I should believe anything thats said

Just because it's written on the DPI site dosen't mean that's it's true clever wording can depict different versions of wots true & false

My arguement here is with peeps like ewe who want to jump in & believe wotever DPI has to say & never Questioning wot is accurate just remember wun thing the guy who replied to your emails is most likely just a pen pusher without to much knowledge on the matter.

I copped the same thing when trying to get info of the trailers I built from the RTA a whole lot of bullshite so I went down in person to speak to wun of the inspectors to get correct info

Likewise I don't give a shit about Botany Bay. This whooooooole thread is about commercial fishing in Sydney Harbour. I said they are banned, which they are, but then you started talking BS about maths and how they aren't banned at all!

"BUT I'm not going to accept there has been a total ban regarding the whole of Sydney Harbour the maths just dosen't add up"

All you have is one DPI guy who is involved with FADs, that is completely unrelated to any matters revolving around commercial fishing in the harbour.

It's very convenient to just dismiss any publication by the government. However, now that it's in the public domain it can't be a lie. That would open up grounds for legal action. Likewise, they haven't tried to cover it up with clever wording to avoid this legal action. Tell me, how can these statements in particular be interpreted differently than that commercial fishermen have been banned?

"A total ban has been placed on commercial fishing as a precautionary measure after test results revealed elevated levels of dioxin in a number of species of fish and crustaceans in Sydney Harbour."

"A total ban on commercial fishing has been implemented to ensure the safety of consumers and the integrity of the seafood industry."

You said yourself you haven't fished the harbour in 20 years. This whole thread is about the harbour. Not Botany Bay, so why even bring it up?

You also avoided the question at hand (very polly-like).

Hustler, to answer your initial question: Commercial fishing of any kind has been banned in the Harbour until, at the earliest, Feb next year (unless it is extended).

[hustler57]

Ewew really dont get it do you Googlefushy ??????????

Yes this thread may be about Sydney Habour BUT I brought Botany Bay into the equation for a reason

If DPI is bullshitting to us about the Bay then wot makes ewe think they aren't Bullshitting about Sydney Habour ????????????????????

And that's why I cant believe there's a total commercial ban in the habour

[Spudly]

As far as im concerned ya both talking out ya ass's... Jumpy knows people in the industry, maybe they right, maybe they wrong.. Catch surfs the net for all his info and a few emails and gets his side, really i couldnt give a shit who is right... But the carrying on is ridiculous.. Seriously Catch, stop trying to big note yourself by reading all this shit, and Jumpy, Why bother arguing your side..

Just go fishing!!!

[Jumpus GooDarus]

Why bother arguing your side..

Just go fishing!!!

Simple answer to that Spud

Wot do ewe think would happen to just about all the threads if sum wun like me didn't argue ?????????

You'd be lucky to get 3 or 4 replies to them that's wot would happen
This thread has now gone 3 pages I do tire of argueing BUT it's like talking to brick walls some times but I try to open peeps minds by putting up an arguing side of the story.

Then peeps can make up their own minds wot they want to believe

Like I said I dont fish the habour & really dont give a shit but I do fish the bay & have listened to so much bullshit I cou;ld've fertilised your potato paddock

Talk to some pros that used to fish the harbour, ask them if they can still fish in the harbour, then you'll see that I'm right.
