Was out at mornington pier again last nite, seems like theres a few people ruining it for everyone now.
There was a big group (around3-4 familes, 20 people all up) of people there catching squid, instead of bagging them or whatver, they just grilled them and ate them there and then. How the hell are the fisheries people suspose to impose the bag limit if they do stuff like that???
Also, when they see someone catche a squid, they all grab their rods and crowd around that area. Pushing out whoever was fishing there in the first place. I saw them crowd around a dad and his young sons trying to catch a the small school of squid that was there and pushing and shoving the kids out of the way. The dad got annoyed as you would, and the small mob started to turn on him and started swearing and becoming violent. Wasnt long before the dad packed up and so did we. I wanted to enjoy a quiet, nice night out fishing.
What the hell as we suspose to do in situations like that?? They are obviously flaunting the laws and taking more then their fair share, not to mention creating an unfortable atmosphere for all. I can gurantee I wont be heading to mornington again anytime soon. Not happy! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
