Default Whats going on: Undersized catches kept

I am beginning to get really damn annoyed.....

Down at Mornington Pier today (Port Philip Bay) and the typical contingent
from the Asian community, (I am not being racist) were down there hauling up
bucket loads of squid with about 95% of their catch not even coming in a
bulls roar of 3 inches... Everything is kept...

The typical contingent of Greek and Italians were there landing every other
thing that swims and bucketing it legal or not.... and from what has been
caught off there lately not very much is legal.

I mean keeping pinkies barely scraping the 20cm mark is unfair....

I mean typical in the way that I see the same group of people every time I
go there.... When the rangers come to check licenses and catch sizes you see
a stream of them leave magically just before as if the "knew" or
something... Duuhhhhhh...

Frankston is not much better....

One or two rangers a pier.... if they want to police it... get a good 8 to
10 plain clothes rangers to walk the pier first... and have them at the
start of the pier checking every bucket leaving....

With the authority to confiscate gear... they would easily be able to supply
Rex Hunt with enough tackle for a few seasons....

It's no wonder the fishing off the piers is getting more and more
pathetic.... only a handful of us throwing back the ones that were
undersized.

Annoyed,

Chris.
(Fishing Frankston & Mornington 1 - 2 times a week when the weather is
good.)
