Did anyone watch channel Nine this morning on the Today show where this animal activist wants to ban recreactional fishing is this bloke for real >>
He's a looney. He's entitled to his opinion. He has his standards and should not try and impose them on others.
Any fishing is good fishing(should probably say Any fishing is...probably going to be illegal soon)
Poor response by the bloke representing Vic Anglers

Yeah caught the back end of itworrying stuff [smiley=uhoh.gif]
Each to their own, I guess that's his stance on the matter. Fortunately, it's only his opinion and will always be in a small minority that think this way.
I just tried to look it up on there web site could not find anything on itSo I hope that shows how much his opinion is worthe.
unfortunatly loons like these form pressure groups , who though a minority generaly bitch and whine (and vote ) more than the majority . its easy to lose your rights when these loons get the ear of an eager member of parliment
Hellooooooooo. No-one thought they'd close 33.3% of the Great Barrier Reef to fishermen, or the same in the Great Sandy Straits and now Moreton Bay's on the hit list. These are the loonies we have to watch out for.
Hey Agro,
Check out the "Fishing News" chat boards. There's a lot of information contained within that section about what we anglers have to contend with - mostly bad and ugly stuff!
The Looney you mentioned is just one of many. Believe me, they're not going to be happy until we've all stopped fishing, camping and four wheel driving!
Unfortunately I did not see the segment being referred to.
But from what you have said it is my opinion that he sounds like a Looney Tune.
But as the others have stated:
The Looney Tunes of this world join and form pressure groups and whilst they are in the minority, history has shown us that governments are all too happy to sell out the majority to please the minority.
It is a sad fact of life that their is a growing anti-fishing movement out there and it is getting stronger every day.
In my opinion the best way to fight back is to join the Fishing Party and I encourage all ausfishers to do so.

They are all too common these days, we also have one of these loosers here in Townsville, she reckons Barra have feelings and feel pain when caught, so we should ban barra fishing..........she sprooked in the local paper and got a right royal blitzing.
Poor demented things, you gotta have pitty on their feeble mindedness.
May the winds blow lightly upon your sails
May the seas buffet gently upon your hull
May your chiller be full of piscatorial delights
I think you all need to look at the News section where the "loony tune" shows up as from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), which is causing havoc worldwide with their out there ideas. Have a look at some of their websites and you'll see just how scary this lot are!!

the day they ban fishing is the day I start to spend a lot of time behind bars ..... no-one will tell me I'm not to fish #$%kem
Rainbow Trout is NOT skittle flavoured fish.........
pretty sure he was from PITA, sorry, PETA.
he chose his words to describe fish/sharks very carefully to have the most impact.
describing them as 'magnificent' 'wonderful' etc. etc. etc..
reckons they had a shark hanging from a "gaff" at some gamefishing tournement on the weekend (must have been a pretty cheap sort of a thing, most use gantrys) with blood oozing out of wounds all over it's body..
the other fella didn't really have much in defence..
These loons are winning the battle though. It all comes down to votes, and nothing to do with commonsense. There have been enough studies that show that fish don't feel 'pain' in the way that humans, or animals do. Yet they go on with crap like 'you wouldn't stick a hook in the family dog and drag it around the streets', as if fish have the same brain functions.
Unfortunately, right or wrong, unless the Fishing Party gets enough members to gain some political clout the greenies will win.
