It's true, you're not allowed to, but I doubt very much whether anyone will be getting booked based on that footage.
Cheers

searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
well i certainly wasn't looking to have someone booked based on my footage. But it is clear that it is tied to the marker just the boat identification isn't that clear
probably just a point that there are rules for some and not others.
You go girl! I admire your dedication to rid this world of all beacon cowboys!
what? for starters i am not a girl i am a 45 year old male. And the comment means what exactly? It was just a video of what not to do and thought it might be of interest to other ausfish members. do people around here always read more into whats in front of them? lol, i suppose there is one in every crowd.
Oh, and i do want to note that whilst i thought it was rather odd at first glance I now realise its actually a stupid thing to do because it may weaken the structure of the marker if thats what it was. and thats a big safety concern should it collapse after the boatie has left.

Yep its definitely not allowed, unless it was some kind of maintenance boat repairing the beacon, but certainly doesn't look like it. Were they definitely tied to it or just anchored near it?
It was definatley tied even though the video lacks detail I could see using my Tasco 7x50 Binoculars so i thought i would video it.Originally Posted by BaitThrower
I just checked my beacon to beacon (map 81) and it looks like it is a port beacon/buoy. And I forgot to mention they were fishing which the video doesn't show either. I do understand how this could be tempting but being that it poses a safety risk to other boaties that it may become dislodged over time is really a big risk.

Hey I think he did the right thing videoing this law breaker! At least it will teach others here what not to do! Besides, I'd hate to hit the sand bank or whatever the bouy is keeping you away from just because it was moved off station coz someone tied up to it or damaged it.
well i don;t know what happened to the post but cod muncher replied "mate you a cop or what , get a life , "
Just want to inform you yes i do have a life. I often visit the water with my wife for therapeutic reasons as she is totally disabled and i have been feeding her through a tube the last 4 years. So yes mate i do have a life. And if it's ok by you i will continue to take the odd photo or video of any happening on the water as my wife and sit there taking in the scenery.
correct me if i am wrong but this is a fishing related video forum? have i posted something so offensive? i don't think so.
Hi razgo,
I think some of the replies may just be advising you to lighten up a bit.
We live in a world where on a daily basis people are murdered,raped and foreclosed upon as well as being violated in many other ways.
So some dude tied up to a beacon may be illegal but I personally hardly think it's worth broadcasting on you tube and I cant really see that he was bothering you at all.
Seriously what are the chances that the beacon will "collapse after the boatie left".
Really sorry to hear about your wife,just try and stay positive and forget about the insignificant stuff.

well i don't what the chances of a bouy being let loose is but i am guessing the powers to be do think it can come loose which really would pose a danger to other people. As baitthrower said i would hate to hit a sandbank because of some idiots who think its ok to tie up to markers. Its one of those things you don't know until it happens to you.
I did take the video in a light hearted manner showing what you should probably not do in a boat as it may indeed pose a danger to other people. Boat safety is a pretty big thing these days considering the amount of ever increasing boats on the water.
If we don't take boating safety seriously then i am buggered if i know.

Alright mate..more power to you.
Boat safety does indeed need to be taken seriously so keep us informed of the indiscretions of those rogue boaties out there.
Scott
lol, once again i have made it quite clear i was simply down the water with my wife and simply took a video of some idiot who thinks its ok to tie up to a marker.
If people want to read something else into it then what can i do? lol.
No worries mate....just dont allow you and your missus to have your time on the water ruined by other fools.
You will find them everywhere...from on the ramp... to as you have seen out on the water..at your fishing spot...on jet ski's....and driving close by you at 40 mph while you are anchored.
Unfortunately there is not a real lot you can do about them but I guess video/photograph them or take their details and report them to the authorities(and then no doubt very little or no action will be taken unless there is an actual incident).
Just look after you and your missus and try and have the best time you can.
Scott
disorderly, you are right and i wasn't trying to come off as the water police or anything.
I went down to paradisehouseboats coomera yesterday to look at a boat suitable for my wife and I to hire. and the owner mentioned these things as you have said. In fact she warned me and advised me to hire midweek if i can because on the weekend the broadwater is full of nasty people in big boats that like nothing better to do than come as close as they can to rock your boat. She was really cranky about it too as she has had boiling water tipped over her whilst at a stove because of rogue boat traffic.
So i certainly won't be going out there on week-ends!
