That he would drive down to the water rather than walk to dump his rubbish would not put him at the top of the fitness scale. Total slob.Probably also dumps his junk on the road side expecting the council to pick it up at Ratepayers expense. This is an offence which carries a fine. To do do this on a popular bathing beach in full view and in daylight is beyond belief. Rotting fish frames can be dangerous if stood on. If you dont think this guys actions are wrong then i suggest you get some snapper frames and jump on them with bare feet. Just make sure you have plenty set aside to pay for the ongoing medical treatment. This could include life threatening blood poisoning if your immune system is not strong plus a lot of pain. And afterward your opinion may change |

Fishing and shellfish

Fish carcasses should not be disposed of on or near jetties, wharves, boat ramps and beaches as they can cause nasty injuries if trodden on and lead to poor water quality. If you're filleting fish it's a good idea to take the carcasses away and dispose of them appropriately.

It seems like most people just like to moan about other peoples fishing habits than there own. Many are probably hypocrites themselves. You know what. I am going to go get my limit of 20lb breeding snappers, and im not going to release a single one, gut hook them all, and then post a photo of the whole lot on here, then im going to dump the frames back in the ocean and take a photo. wah wah. I will give you something to moan about if that is all you want to do.
