Well what can I say today was just our day.

The adventure began with us waking up at 5 am and being at the ramp at 7am. The trip out was all right and we saw some whales. At first it didn’t look good with the only fish to come onboard for the fist hour was an iodine bream and a sergeant baker then we moved in to 80 meters of water and the fun began. Dropped the anchor and before I could even get a bait in the water my uncle was on and I netted his 1.5-2 kg pearly (estimate) while I was doing that I was on too moments later two stonka pearlies came on board well to cut this part of the story short we bagged out on pearlies I around about half an hour to an hour. Them we got tired of letting good 40-50 cm specimens go so we decide to head home then dad said “ay fellas lets give this so\pot a try” so we did and I tell you what it was good that we did. We fished an area where it goes 95m 95m then suddenly rises to 77m of water the first fish on board was mine, my first ever snapper 70cm long it was a true ripsnorter of a snapper. Then dad got a few of similar size and so did my uncle. Dad later got bricked by something big (big snapper we think). And we ended up bagging out on snapper to so it was one humdinger of a fishing trip.

A lot of people said I will have my day soon and it was today for sure and without further a due the picies

Very well done Chemmy.

I bet you will not sleep tonight.
Every time you close your eyes you will see that rod getting hit, fish coming to the surface, the whole nine yards.

I would also say that you deserve a fair bit of respect that you have just earned.

God on you!!!!

Did you catch the snapps on:
1 - a rig with a light running ball sinker with reel in free-spool, or
2 - bottom bashing with a paternoster dropper rig and a heavy snapper lead?

Hey chemmy,
congrats on those fish. Looks like you had a fantastic time of it. Mate, you had that success cause ya didn't give in. Everyone gave ya flack about not picking up those times on the banks when others were catching, but ya didn't let that get you down. You stuck to your guns, kept trying, kept getting tips off the others on the site, and finally your time came. Thats what fishing and life are all about, NEVER GIVING IN!! Recon it is the best feeling in the world when people are giving you stick, but ya keep trying until you produce the goods. You should feel well proud.
Good for you mate,
Cheers Fritzy

well done chemmy. fished wide of cape moreton yesterday 9/9/05, bagged out on pearlys to 4 kg. threw a lot back well over legal trying to nail some reds, but no luck, all under size, scored 1 nice cod 3 & a bit kg. all in all a good day on the water, good conditions, good fish, good company. ( snuck out before the dreaded n.westerlies) all the best, kevy. :) ;)

yes good catch there chemmy, you would have had some fun fighting those snappa, they were taking the baits hard, you must have struggled finding somewhere to put them with those 2 small eskys?

and ps, yes i got your note, lol.

ps, more than 15 perlies, lucky patrol werent out ;)

Scott- I was really tired so I will write it now Scott helped clean the fish good work Scott.
Maccamania- we were bottom bashing using 5/0 black magic circle hooks and 4 oz snapper leads. lol team Chemmy for sure
Caloundra- yep that was what I was thinking.
Mackmauler- yeh nthat little esky was for food but we had to eat the food quick to make room for the fish and we are now getting a new 130L Ice Kool esky

Looked like a very nice day from where I was WORKING >:(

10-09-2005, 10:15 PM

stuff saying good on ya chemmy this is defintly what we don't need on this site
19
pearlies i count that can be easyly seen and thats comeing from 3 people on the boat now thats friggin 6 and a bit pearl pearch per person and what makes it worst your flunting it on here showing them!
very disapointing to say the very least (wish i could say more)
bag limits are there for YOUR fishery and for your kids if you ever have them
your been fishing long enoght around the trap to of know the bag limit and if you don't then i recomend you grab yourself a copy like your been told after the wobbie shooting and read it all the way through
people that break the bag and size limits should be reported like many people say they would on this site so your lucky your not in NSW or i would be ringing and saveing this as fast as i'm typeing this! >:(

one last thing for you chemmy
LIMIT YOUR KILL DON'T KILL YOUR LIMIT

chemmy

10-09-2005, 10:44 PM

I counted 15 in the boat but I guess I must have miscounted. Believe me we didn't take more than our bag limit on purpose it was a counting error. If I could take back what happened I would but I can't and I am kicking myself for my ignorance and stupidity. I know it's not any one else’s fault but mine and if it is any coalition I feel like sh!t for doing it. I know the limits and regulations but this was a counting error. Believe me it won't happen again. :-[ :-[

Sportfish_5

10-09-2005, 10:49 PM

Sorry Chemmy but no excuses can cut it - whats done is done :-/ Most have had hot bites when the fish are coming fast but not counting correctly is a lame excuse. Would this be the first time you done this :-X

If I was you I would delete this post 8-)

11-09-2005, 12:05 PM

wow, some people must have their beer goggles on, I could only count 10 - 12. You can' t identify 19 pearlies in any of those shots. I see some squire\parrot but s#it 19 pearl perch wouldnt fit in those two eskies. Unless there is a picture I missed!!!

Chemmy,
Thats disappointing buddy, chin up now and remember next time if your not sure, just dont keep any.Something I learnt as a teenager was "Ignorance is no excuse, according to the law." Some people are not going to let you forget this. I dont know how your going to make this right. Maybe your on Catch & Release only, for a while.

Bugger! :o

ok i think hes got the message

i cant belive you guys. any one would think the poor bugger speared a whale or something. good fishing chemmy dont let all this high horse stuff get to ya mate.

if this happened on my boat i would just throw the small ones back on the way in. mistakes counting fish happens. glad you didnt run into the law.

look forward to your next adventure and remeber to count them before comming back in.

11-09-2005, 05:37 PM

piece of carpet bag steak chemmy. not to worry we had a good day on sat at the banks after you but until 12.00 had only one snapper and a couple of parrot in the box until that famouse one last drift resulted in snappery squire to just over 4 kilo and a great pearley of 3.5 kilo. nice conditions despite the forcast although the trip in was a bit wet and bumpy with the north up to over 20 knts. catch ya next time you are onto them foockchucker.

Gotwet,
Whats with the "high horse" comment, didnt you chuck in your two bobs worth as well.

Chemmy,
I know you would have learnt from your mistake, its a shame that you posted your mistake in a public forum. That really makes it worse for you, not just cause your a young fella who passes comment on almost everything. I guess other people think that someone who has been here for so long, just should know the rules and regs. Mate this kind of incident has seen men lose more than their pride. You are getting off lightly, thats a fact. Its serious stuff and I know you realise this NOW.

Chemmy,

What a way to spoil your first really good catch >:( Only you could turn such a top catch into a disaster. Learn the rules and stick to them .... no excuses. Who was captain of the vessel? If it was you then YOU need to take responsibility and never let anyone else talk you into doing something you shouldn't, no matter who they are.

11-09-2005, 07:28 PM

Hey fellas, It is chemmy dad's talking, I must admit we have made a honest mistake with extra perlies.
So don't blame my son for this, if it makes you feel better blame me. please call fisheries if you inclined to do so besides you the rego number and I will deal them them the honest way - don't you you worry about it.
I know I don't have to do this, but I promise you guys this will not happen again. Besides you must agree if we were the bloody law breakers trying to exploit the natural resourses of our beatifull Australia , you would not hear a word from us.... we would be just minding our business, if you know what mean.
So I would really appreciate if you cut my son a slack this time.
Have a good night till the next post from the Banks. Cheers.

how about some helpful advise. and a bit of understanding.

so from now on i will not post whats going on fishing wise in my area and will not read the posts of people who are so quick to bag others.

Gotwet,
You have shown your true colours, you dont have a good understanding of what this site is about. How will this boy benefit from your advice ?

Chemmys Dad,
Its a public forum and like I said earlier, men have lost more than their pride. If his pride is dented then thats pretty trivial compared to how some other people may see this incident. Most people here like your boy and know he has a lot to learn even if he does think he has all the answers. Take a look at the good comments he recieved until the error was picked up.

James,
It's chemmy's dad again, I know what you mean.
It just some of the posts made him really upset because we really thought we did not take more than we should. But you know things can get pretty hectic sometimes when fish is on the bite especially when it is first or second time in your life.
I love this site - it has a local profile and I bet no real law breaker ever posted anything here and I am surprised that some people don't realize this. Anyway what is done is done. We won't go fishing for next two weeks (Queenstown ski-duty calls), hope it all will quite down by then.
Best Regards

You want this to settle down, then dont make me out to be the bad guy. I have been diplomatic about the whole thing but trust me if you want someone to make you out to be the ignorant pair of idiots you are, then I can do that too. I was trying to be objective about your incident; In possesion of Reef fish over the specified bag limit. Stuffed if I know why I even bothered.

Goddam, will everyone let up on him. Sure, he made a mistake. If anything happens thats his business and he will deal with it. Everyone is ripping him over the coals and sure, its the wrong thing. But it is really an honest mistake. It has happened and most likely will happen again. Not from him but someone else. Its not the first time its ever happened and its not like its the last either. Im sure that we all have opinions but to try and say he is an ignorant idiot etc etc is far from the truth. He loves exactly the same thing as we do, to go out and catch a few fish. You cant all say your angels that have never broken the law before.
Im sure that most of you will try and bring this thread up again everytime something happens or diss his comments in other threads. Thats not the right way to go about things.
I dont want to sound like the "cant we all just get along" guy but lay off a little.
And spearing a wobby isnt illegal. The same as taking any mother-in-law fish. You might no think they taste any good but others might like them.
Sorry for sounding like im approving of this. Im not, i think it is wrong but at 15/16 it really doesnt make you feel great about yourself and this topic is losing members from this site.

Got wet,

This is my first post so I understand I don't have much credence on this site but if you read chemmy's first post, you would of read that chemmy clearly stated that he bagged out on pearlies and was sick of throwing them back. This obviously means he counted them and carefully if the bite was so hot. As for your practice of counting fish on the way in and throwing the excess back dead, it is ......... like you who have have caused bag limits to be brought in, in the first place. If chemmy's mistake was an honest one then I suggest he spends his friday's in school brushing up on his grammar and numeracy skills and hopefully it rubs off on some other people on this site.

11-09-2005, 09:30 PM

I've walked away and come back to this thread a few times.
Couldn't see that posting anything was going to make a difference.
Was watching 60 minutes just before. A lot of stuff about kids about chemmy's age frying their brains with pot. Seems pot's not like the stuff we had when we were younger.
Bit like fishing's changed. I wonder how many of the people that are so irate in this thread used to routinely take 100 or more tailor when they were on? Wasn't illegal - Just short sighted. So now we have bag limits (which we should respect).
Did Chemmy and his family do the wrong thing? Yep. They know that.
Did he do it deliberately? Doesn't matter to me. He's the one that's got to live with it if he did.
Is anything that's said or done here going to fix it? Not going to bring the fish back, but I reckon Chemmy's a few ounces wiser today than he was last week.
Chemmy,
Don't lose the enthusiasm for fishing that led you to posting the pics in the first plcae. Just harness it and learn from this.
There are far worse roads in life you could be travelling down.

Owen

Nice fish Chemmy. Nice report with plenty of detail.

You have learned a lot in the last 2 days I am sure. Be careful what you say and post in public forums at all times. Would be nothing worse than admitting to fishing a green zone for example and being caught out by a report.

bad luck chemmy everyone makes mistakes in life bloke the adults are more to blame though so keep ya chin up and do not let your eyes go too squinty. quality not quantity is the key chemmy as in most comps a 10 kilo fish will out do a heap of smaller ones keep smiling and read the rule book WELL the fines are there and will be enforced and as you probley well know we are all glad they are.
