99.9% r #@## wits .I have one for surfing ,fishing and diving and have owned about 10 boats.I get embarressed to tell anyone i own one cause most owners of them have no idea of common courtesy or common sense.They are very dangerous and if u have never owned a boat 4 fishing u should not be able to have a jet ski license,in my opinion.
I agree cam and I meant no offence to you clearly you are a resposible jetski owner and the amount of times I have had to put up with having them buzz me while i am minding my own business anchored up outside of a channel or movement area is just rediculous.
Ring the fisheries hotline and report him.
Give them his rego number and I bet you 99% they will at least follow up with a call. Nothing might come of it this time but he will go on record. You never know he may already be on record.
It will take 5 mins of your time.

DYLAN POST THE BLOODY REGO NUMBER I TO AM SICK OF F@#KWITS ON JETSKIS . WHY CANT THERE BE JETSKI PARKS WHERE ALL THESE WANKERS CAN HANG OUT TOGETHER JUST LIKE TRAIL BIKE RIDERS HAVE TO.
Well, been through this before, came across 2 guys in a similar size boat, with one of my pots on board, and the other pot just out of the water with a guy up to his elbow in it.
We give them a hell of a chase, herded them into a fairly rocky side creek in which i did not follow. Waited for them back at the ramp, followed them home.
We immediately called the police while on the water.
The response from police is that they are responsible for theft of the pot only.
The response from fisheries is that they are responsible for the theft of the crab.
My response? I know where you live, I know the boat you drive, I know the car you drive.
Our local fishing correspondent and all round good guy ran a small article on it.
Well, the pots appeared in the creek a few days later
Way to go Lambsy!
Did the cops do anything in the end?
If not you should go burn their house to the ground and piss on the ashes.

I sometimes overreact a little bit.
Old mate wouldn't steal anymore crab pots in a hurry.
Pondscum, thats the only way to discribe them, Personally I would be reporting this to the police, they may not be able to do anything on your report but if they happen to have a few other people make the same complaint about them then it will be a different story. Other then that I've always woundered how much damage one of those large steel spinners with a couple of trebles could do.
I know it works on the beach or breakwall when some lowlife jumps in your spot.

I'd be lodging a report with the Water Police also as they were using there vessels in an unsafe manner and could have caused a serious accident, give all the details to the cops including a statement from your mate. Cops might get one of them to rollover on the rest for a slap on the hand. Let it slide and some poor bugger with kids in a boat could come to some serious grief at the hands of idiots like these....
You never know, this guy might have done the same thing in the past and cops will have it on record (goes to history)
Fillet and Release Squad
I would not recommend it doing it, but I would have just rammed him.
Cameron, I rekcon only 1% are di@kheads but give all jetskis a bad name.99.9% r #@## wits .I have one for surfing ,fishing and diving and have owned about 10 boats.I get embarressed to tell anyone i own one cause most owners of them have no idea of common courtesy or common sense.They are very dangerous and if u have never owned a boat 4 fishing u should not be able to have a jet ski license,in my opinion.
Dylan, report it to Fisheries with rego number, I've had good success with Fisheries with crab pot theft. Cheers
doesnt it sh.. you i had a similar problem at caloundra but as my tinnie was worth a heap less than his jet ski, he didnt like it after a couple of bumps, and after reporting it to water police, one officer said they are powerless unless they see it. so you have got to stand firm with these dead shi.s. and if all else fails a couple of ounce snapper leads will convin ce him to leave.
