Is it worth fighting for the rec fisho?
Feb 03, 2010 - 9:26 PM - by TheRealAndy
I am starting to wonder if the fight is worth it. Seems no one is interested. Does not matter what you do it seems you are met with apathy, opposition, criticism and out right attacks on your own lifestyle. Maybe I should just sit back on my arse like everyone else and watch PEW take over the world, and stick it up those trying to do the right thing. Nearly 50000 members here and from my calulations we get positive feedback from about 0.001% I guess everyone is happy to give up there fishing lifestyle.

I have attached my recent media release.(removed for Ausfish post) It is now time for Kristina Keneally to tell us where she stands. She cannot continue to take the easy way out and focus on restricting fishing rather than tackling the real threats to our coastline such as pollution, introduced species and disease and inappropriate coastal development. ...

Bioregional planning Australia wide!!!
Feb 08, 2010 - 2:57 PM - by Snapp.
Hey guys, Obviously, we are starting to hear alot about the proposals of new Bioregional zones. For those that dont fully understand the magnitude of this, I have attatched a link that outlines approx boarders. I for one, thought that this was only happening off the East Coast, turns out it's Australia wide.
